The Afghan Whigs

Damn, i''ve truly been deprived of good, quality music. Why did it take me this long to get into this band?!?! Uptown Avondale is one of the best albums i've ever heard. Listening to Gentlemen right now. Fuck this is good!

Rhinocerous Surprise

Yup, they were something special. And now? Now I'll link to this, before Facepollution gets the chance.

I know this forum is full of Chris Cornell already, but if the man wants to fuse rock and RNB effectively, he should listen to the Afghan Whigs.

Yep, I've said the same thing before. He should beg Greg Dulli to produce his next record.

Hell, yeah. I'm shuffling through the whole catalogue on my ipod now.

Shawn Smith Collective

I'm sure you'll love the 1965 and Black Love albums too! If you like those albums, you'll probably really enjoy Twilight Singers and Gutter Twins http://www.sscollective.net/twins

HAVE FUN!

Hey that's actually not a bad idea. CC voice with Dulli telling him what to do. Sounds awsome to me.

i've been wanting to check these guys out.. since The Gutter Twins is so awesome, i was wanting to check out some of the members earlier works. Afghan Whigs was always a name i remember from i don't know when, but i never gave them a listen~

You need to start listening to Lanegan and Dulli asap. You won't be disappointed. You can't really go wrong with either one but start with Black Love for the AW and maybe Bubblegum or Field Songs for Lanegan.

This took me by surprise - I had no idea he'd been suffering from colon cancer. Very sad. :(

This is really sad news. Dave was a lovely guy and a great guitar player. I met him twice after Mark Lanegan shows and he was charming and funny each time.

I guess they new it was coming soon. After the benefit shows last year, he was too sick to go on the In Spades tour. Nice to see the new record was dedicated to him.

There have been some nice tributes posted so far - Joseph Arthur and John Curley were the first ones I saw.

Only 50 years old. Cancer is a real motherfucker.
