Ah no man, so sad
Wish I’d got to see them at some point but what a legacy - and what a player
Shame
RIP
Really glad I saw Television at Primavera in 2014. What a band. R.I.P.

I’m not a guitar solo hater, but there can’t be many people who managed to make them genuinely cool in the way he did
(well OK Richard Lloyd)

Fuck me no no no
aw man
wish I’d been in a better place mentally when I saw Television at the last Shellac ATP
one of my favourite guitarists
I half remember a bit from the liner notes of the Marquee Moon reissue where the producer wanted them to double track all their guitar solos. No problem for Richard Lloyd, whose solos were all carefully written and meticulously rehearsed. But an issue for Verlaine, whose solos were different every time he played them.
I really like this contrasting style between them, the polished professional duelling with the wild improviser, but it’s Verlaine’s style that excites me more.
Always liked how the album credits tell you who played which solo.

my mum is a similar age, so I’m the same
was especially sad for her hearing about Jeff Beck as she was a huge fan, but generally it must be really depressing to see people of the same generation going
