I don't particularly like him, but nobody mentioned Frank Zappa? He's like Larry LaLonde's father.

to me Larry LaLonde is way more outthere than Zappa, he comes up with the craziest parts, truly unique and great player

I think I will be seeing Brian James next weekend at FFF6 as the Damned are playing not sure if he is in this line up.

Another favorite is Dr Know and Rory is fucking amazing as well. The Irish Robert Johnson / Hendirx

Brian hasn't played with The Damned since about 1991 when he did a short reunion/anniversary tour with them. The Damned is and has been for some time basically Captain Sensible and Dave Vanian on guitar and vox with a few other guys who've played with the band since the late 90's when they basically became a nostalgia act. Brian himself has been doing occasional bar gigs in the UK with other punk musician friends like (former Damned drummer) Rat Scabies and about every 5 years he puts out another album that sells maybe 500 copies. He is getting long in the tooth so to speak and a friend who's worked with James in the past and was supposed to write with him on a new album last Summer said he's unfortunately pretty fried nowadays.
