His playing on Matthew Sweets' "Girlfriend" record was incredible!! Great
textures and a little thing called "counterpoint" in his style.

Punk counterpoint! Go figure...

Wow...also did not know he was 61! They're saying suicide....sad.

I went to college with Bob Quine. He was the only dude there with a
Strat. Extremely intense about music and nothing else, with a weird
awkward vibe about him. Since he did not major in music, I have no
idea how he got through college.

very sad.

apparently his wife died suddenly just under a year ago and he
(understandably) had a lot of trouble coping.

his work with Matthew Sweet is fantastic, but the first Richard Hell &
The Voidoids record is incredible. if you haven't heard it, you should
check it out.

he may be my favorite guitarist...

****.

That's the word. Deliberate (there was a note) heroin overdose, from
someone not known for addictive drug use. And he'd tried to check out
the same way this past winter.

His solo on "Betrayal Takes Two" is still shocking to me--it's a
methodical, twisted violence to the song, like someone coming into your
house and breaking every other dish.

For my record-buying dollar, I still love his work on John Zorn's
Filmworks I (particularly the end titles to _White and Lazy_ and _The
Golden Boat_--two songs that are worth the price of admission) and much
of _Basic_, which he did with Fred Maher. Sure, the crappy 80s Lindrum
is too loud, but if you listen past it, there are some fine moments.

He was a unique, cantankerous mind and a fine, honest player. He'll be
missed.

god, I loved his playing. "Love comes in spurts" solo ends on the open strings.
I love that. It's really sad.
