i'd say a lot of people on here are too young to know who he is.

Probably a good thing, considering some of the stuff he drank, and some surgical removals... :D

[green goblin]

Is all that stuff actually true though?
For those coming in late, Almond is famously reputed to have had a rib removed so he could chow down on his own member, and being taken to hospital where he had a pint of j*z pumped from his stomach.
I always thought it was just nasty rumours.
Quite liked Soft Cell at the time, but although he's got a distinctive voice, I always thought he sounded a bit flat at times. But with great conviction.

Ah, he always maintains that pint drinking is an urban myth.

Always remember my sisters overlaying Non Stop Electric Caberat so developed a deep dislike for them which I have over come through the years. Hope he pulls through.

BTW anyone ever hear Inspiral Carpets version of Tainted Love even better than the Soft Cell version and makes you wonder why Marilyn Manson bothered, then again I wonder that on a regular basis.

Of course, Carter USM's version of "This is how it feels" does it for me every time.

Every generation has some "star" who has this myth attached. Prince was another one who it was said about.

...They were saying it about Prince as well were they? There we are then, urban myth, done and dusted. Hope Almond gets better soon.

...come on now lads, it's getting silly. How many gerbils would you need to get a pint? You'd need millions of them :confused:

basically,
he was putting the gerbils/hamsters where the sun d'ont shine :D .................

[ccfcman]

I wonderr did having a rib less, mean more carnage!

Absolute class, up there in the top ten cover versions of all time.

Have the rest of ther afternoon off, my good man. You need the rest more than I do :)

[Aberdonian Stu]

Eh just about the rib thing...surely that would be irrelevant so long as your vertebrae were still there. That's what Bill Hicks said anyhoo.

I agree - the Carter USM version is much better than the Carpets original. If we're talking best cover versions - Manics version of Theme From Mash (Suicide is Painless) has to be in there

Ooooo, controversial on the Carpets/ Carter version. I'm old fashion and would say I still prefer the Inspirals version, but Carters cover is superb.

Equally for great covers the Jesus and Mary Chains version of Guitair Man is well worth checking out as is Johnny Cash's version of Personal Jesus and Hurt are top notch.

Who drove their bike up Marc Almond's a*se? :confused: Politicaly incorrect I'm afraid, but the words Marc Almond and motorbike in the same sentence sent my imagination into overdrive. I heard a newsreader reading the bit about him 'riding pillion passenger' almost caused her to **** herself.

Think that story about his drink :eek: was an 'urban' myth, though. Showing my age but my cojones had barely dropped when I first heard that one. Pat, I think you were barely walking then.

As for Gere? Was he ever in hospital in Pheonix with either a. fractured skull or b. third degree burns of the r*ctum. :eek: All the result of a gerbil, a ten inch piece of kitchen waste pipe and a cigarette lighter. It's the money that does it.
