ANY QUESTIONS ?
andyfnl@talktalk.net
After 25 years and 71 issues, I have finally decided to launch Fear & Loathing online. There are various reasons for this, which I won't go into right now, but I will also say that a print-version will also continue to be produced, albeit in more limited numbers. With the website, I intend to keep everything more up to date, and I'll also have more room to include more extensive reviews and better artwork. I hope !
PLEASE NOTE - NEW ADDRESS
I've recently moved which has caused a bit of a delay with both website and fanzine updates. Frankly, it's been totally chaos for the last few months, but I'm finally getting things sorted out and catching up on interviews and reviews. If all goes according to plan (yeah, right...) I'll be back to regular service within the next few weeks.
If you have sent anything to the old address, it should still come through as I set-up a redirection service, but for future usage, here's the new contact address ;

I hate the fact that I'm writing this.
Steve Mackay passed away yesterday at the age of 66.
You'll probably know him as the sax player on The Stooges' 'Funhouse' album, one of the greatest and most important albums of all time. He was also an integral part of the reformed Stooges, between 2003 and 2015.
On top of this, he had also played with many other bands and musicians, as varied as Violent Femmes, Snakefinger, Andre Williams, Commander Cody, R.Stevie Moore, and also released a great solo album in 2011 entitled 'Sometimes This Way I Talk'. Seriously, if you've never heard it, seek it out. It's unpredictable, varied and a lot of fun. A really enjoyable record.
But just as important as all of that, he was my friend. I admit, I only knew him for a reasonably short time, but when you met him, you knew this was someone who was on your side. Someone you could trust. And I'm not the only person who feels this way. I owe him a lot. He treated me like a brother and that means so much. I know that's the way he was with others as well, and we're all going to miss him, but at the same time, he'll always be there.
Cheers, my friend.
I'd been intending to re-publish some of my old interviews on this website, and the one I did with Steve was always near the top of the list. I really enjoyed meeting him and having the conversation, plus I'd got really good feedback from people who had read it, so it seemed like a good one to make available again. As it turned out, I'm now doing it as a tribute. Please take the time to read it, even if you saw it back at the time. It will give you an idea of what a great guy he was.
