that's a major pisser :(
I preferred their "rock" era: "Eliminator" and "Afterburner", but damn they had beautiful sound and song,
rich, gorgrous and "oomph!" plus hey, back then folks still made awesome videos: Legs, Rough Boy, Gimme All Your Loving are truly *iconic* vids as well as songs
(unlike the 99% god damn absolute garbage now)
ZZ TOP were also FUN! :)
often took mickey out of themselves and went along with gags.
never heard much if anything bad about 'em unlike many musicians
kind of wonder how their families' kids may have loved 'em, kind of like the perfect uncles, ya know? :)
Now Hill's gone...
fuck, 2020/21 SUCK! :(

Set it and forget it.
Their music before their MTV heyday (Eliminator, Afterburner) was even better in my opinion. La Grange, Tush, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Blue Jean Blues, Mexican Blackbird, Pearl Necklace, Francine, etc are awesome songs, with blues, rock, innuendo... If you've never heard their stuff from the '70s do yourself a favor and give it a listen.Quote:

Sonny Chiba, Actor Who Played Hattori Hanzo in 'Kill Bill,' Dies at 82 of COVID Complications
Quote:
Shinichi "Sonny" Chiba, a martial arts master and a Japanese actor who played legendary sword maker Hattori Hanzo in "Kill Bill," has died at age 82, according to Japan's Oricon News.
According to Oricon, Chiba died Thursday in Chiba Prefecture Kimitsu hospital from pneumonia caused by COVID-19. He had been hospitalized since August 8.
Chiba, a skilled martial artist, starred in dozens of films and television shows since the early '60s. Among his popular films were the "Yakuza Cop" and "Street Fighter" series in the '70s, which launched his international career when New Line released the film and gave it an X-rating for its extreme violence.
But he became popular with modern, Western audiences after his portrayal of Hanzo in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill." He played a sushi restaurant owner who was actually a legendary sword maker who crafted a katana for Uma Thurman's Bride after she asks for "Japanese steel" in her quest for revenge.
Sonny Chiba, who was born Sadaho Maeda and took the name Shinichi in his acting career, trained under karate master Masutatsu "Mas" Oyama, someone whom he would later portray in a trilogy of films, those being "Champion of Death," "Karate Bearfighter" and "Karate for Life," Chiba reached the rank of a first-degree black belt in 1965, and he also held black belts in Judo, Kendo, Ninjutsu and other fields.
Chiba would also appear in "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" as a Yakuza boss, and some of his other film credits include "The Bullet Train," "Champion of Death" and "The Storm Riders."

Charlie Watts, Drummer for The Rolling Stones, 80.
Underrated as a drummer. He could really keep a groove.
Example of such:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-bBhgMtPsc
It's sad he passed, he was said to have been a nice guy, who would have thought he would die before Keith. Crazy! Of the 4 main members he was the only one who didn't, for whatever reason, annoy me, and while their music was ok (although the Some Girls album was great) overall I could take or leave them.
Yes, he was a decent drummer, but he was no John Bonham or Neil Peart.
