Rozz Williams, lead singer of Deathrock band "Christian Death", died today, 12 years ago. My room mate just reminded me.

*listens to some christian death*

Listening to CD right now...

Y'know what's weird it that it was on MTV news that I'd heard about his death.

No, it was when it first happened; they were mentioning different deaths including Wendy O. Williams and Rozz. Even showed footage of a CD gig.

If this had happened today they definitely would NOT have reported it!

I saw Shadow Project in Chicago in 1993. Some local rap band opened for them. Kinda surreal.

That said, I've been listening to a lot of Rozz Williams branded Christian Death in the last few years. It's a real shame he's gone.

Some of his work, the earlier stuff up to and including Catastrophe Ballet, is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Most definitely!

And, folks, C'MON! Rozz Williams...y'know, original singer for Christian Death...pretty much jumpstarted deathrock...?!?!

Without Rozz, there is no Christian Death. He is missed.

That thief Valor Kand has done, and still does, all that he can to defile the Christian Death name using his extremely poor "metal" leanings, but I would hedge a guess that most here know the history. Kudos to you all.
