I think we are all aware of who they are. I prefer Love and Rockets to them.Peter Murphy is a complete dick head. Ash and J made Bahuaus's sound. Peter just sang like a vampire-whale and it worked. Matter of fact, some of their best work was done when Peter had pneumonia and David J and Daniel took the reign on 80 percent of everything in the studio (I believed this occurred twice?)

I respect their work and yes, they are godfathers, but I could never listen to one of their albums from start to finish. I would much rather see The Mision_UK or Fields of Nephilim live, too, as I can listen to their whole catalogue (for the most part).

Peter Murphy, meanwhile, continues to lash out at fans for recording his concerts with cell phones (I understand his disdain; but, they are YOUR fans, idiot) and because a security guard at one of his late 2016 shows was eating a hamburger, Murphy -- a vegan -- lashed out and said he would not perform unless the guy was fired. Sorry, not going to give him many props. And didn't he live in Istanbul? Wonder how that's playing out for him.
