Saw this earlier, not good

Terribly sad news, Pulp were the one band from that 90s scene I really enjoyed.

 

RIP.

RIP

As with the Stones or Beatles question with the answer being The Kinks, the answer to Oasis or Blur was always Pulp. 

 

Sad news indeed. 😔

Struggling to process this one. 

 

I don't really do the whole celebrity RIP thing, but Pulp were "my band". I play bass mostly because of Steve. My username is a reference to one of their songs, and one of his killer basslines. 

 

It feels really quite odd to be quite so upset at the death of a total stranger.

I feel you. Chris Cornell was mine. Still occasional hits me out of the blue. It’s odd, isn’t it?

I'm still not over Chris, I can't listen to Gasoline without tearing up. Weirdly I can listen to Soundgarden ok but that song just hits me.

Same. One of, if not my favourite vocalist. Still upsets me hearing his voice. It could also be an age thing/ things I’ve experienced as I find music in general hits me more emotionally than when I was younger.

I've played Disco 2000 probably 300+ times at various events over the last 10 years, I was thinking of Steve as we played it on Saturday. It went down a storm, as always.
