    He was more than the drummer of my favourite band. He's provided the backbeat of my life.

    They only wrapped up their tour last week. Mitch was staying over in Portland Oregon. He'd been living in France for years.

    This is terrible news. A great musician and by all accounts a great guy. :(

    I know it's cheesy, but I really do hope there's a rock n' roll heaven where Mitch can be tearing up a hell of a jam with Jimi and Noel right now.

    I don't really think that's cheesy, I think a lot of us were thinking something along the same lines.

    :(

    another sad moment in life.

    i should have known that there must have been a reason that i have been listening to early hendrix the last two days.

    his drumming on el is beyond compare.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
