L&R are even namechecked (and sing!) on "The Devil Is My Friend"

Stewart has spoken the truth. As far as frontmen go though, I'd chose Peter.

Yeah, I love that first solo album -- really fantastic and just as trippily crazed as the fourth Love and Rockets album, all over the place and better for it.
Ah, now this is very true. :-)

Anyway, Ash - no doubt. Pete is a clown.

On planet girl, we go for a whirl... etc. oh yeah, best spin off ever.
Daniel was never involved in the Jazz Butcher. David played on a couple of albums and tours, I think Kevin did one session at least. But usually drums were played by Owen P. Jones (Apparently they woke up one day and found him living in their house "ask him if he plays drums!" said Pat "But he's got a beard!" protested Max. "Well, tell him to shave it off, and he's in," replied Pat - goes the story) and guitar was played the stupendously fantastic Max Eider.

However, Max Eider does rule, and "Drink" is the best song ever about the joys of sweet alcohol.
"Falling apart in barsI like to suffer for my artJust one more before we part..."
(For the uninitiated, imagine this being delivered and sung in the kind of light-hearted, breezy 30s jazz that Eric Idle specializes in for his Monty Python songs.)

Any deeper thoughts on the Daniel Ash solo discography? I mean, Coming Down sounds alright enough (if not a patch on anything Love and Rockets released before their last couple), but I can't find much use for Ash's next two solo albums. And it's not for lack of trying, either -- I'm a pretty big fan of Bauhaus (obv.), L&R, Tones on Tail, Dali's Car, Peter solo... just can't get into the Ash solo stuff very much.

peter solo = give me Love Hysteria and Deep and that's all I'll ever really need
Tones on Tail > Bauhaus and I think I appreciate daniel ash's role in bauhaus more than peter murphy's so I have to go with daniel ash here.

i kinda couldn't take any of ash's solo stuff. so much of it was sooooo lazy in that bad later L&R way. lazy rhymes, lazy guitar playing. nothing songs.
i never posted on this thread? then ASH for me! cuz he was in three bands that i love and murphy only in one.
― scott seward, Thursday, 25 February 2010 19:32 (fourteen years ago) link
plus, he's one of my fave guitarists. and i dig him as a vocalist way more than murphy too.

I got my public radio member card the other day and the name of the enrollment management guy in charge of writing thank you letters was named Daniel Ash. I thought of this DA and loled to myself thinking of him having a day job like that.

Depends on whether or not they'd let him wear leather onscreen.

Depends on whether he proves a nefarious sartorial influence on young Pattinson.

Imagining him with Ash's pineapple hair and seizing up.

Dust and Hot Trip to Heaven are both completely underrated.
