[Mark E Smith]

Gutted. He was on Danny Bakers show a few months back and his musical back history is unbelievable, he’s played alongside some of the very best since the 1960s. I knew that “Dave” had been ill but this is something of a shock tbh.

[Mango killa]

Shame, 2 fellas having a blast, doing what they love doing. Class.

 

[Reiver]

Saw him, supporting Status Quo, this year and thought they were excellent.

I always thought they were better writers, and more authentic, than pro-Cockneys like Squeeze, etc.

Seemed like a decent humble bloke.

Their former band had the Beatles as one of their warm up acts.

Just seen someone who has done hundreds of celebrity/music interviews say that he was probably the humblest, most considerate, kindest people he'd interviewed. Hell of an epitaph.

 

[Medulla]

Little known fact: Chas and Dave are musicians on Eminem's "My Name Is..."

 

[andymulesafc]

Gonna have a beer off the sideboard tonight and raise it to Chas.

 

[riffraff]

Saw em at The Albert Hall a few months back. Not my sort of thing tbh but RIP all the same. They came across as being good blokes which is probably more important.

RIP. Once supported Led Zep at Knebworth

they did indeed sam - if you look up Heads Hands and Feet (one of my fav bands) youll understand why they were connected to led zeppelin

If so I was there too and it was superb, both bands were great.
