That slow motion way he moves on stage... I thought he was the coolest person on earth when I was 15 - still do actually.

He is the coolest person on earth, dammit, although the cruel mistress that is time has robbed the ol' boy of his blonde quiff, alas. Still plays like a man possessed, though no needless gymnastics or pose-throwing for this player. No sir. Let the music do the talking. He is, quite simply, unique.

Yup! No one like him. And impossible to imitate his intimidating nonchalance. The _riffs_ themselves are intimidating nonchalant - like reminds me of a lion licking the fur of a wildebeest he's just felled.

Michael Gira's scary country cousin!

The "g'day, Bruce" hat is designed to, methinks, compensate for the Australian Outback-like barrenness of the great man's pate.

the cheekbones, the riffs - one of the most glamourous guitarists ever (also see John McGeoch, John McKay, honorary status Alan Rankine and, for the stance/grin, Billy Zoom)
