EEPW fuzzy I got into Arthur Lee pretty late, early 2000 2001, forever changes is now in my top 5 albums. Saw him play in Leeds grand theatre in 2004. Went to bennicassim later that year and managed to convince all my my mates to come and see him play instead of Brian Wilson........He came on stage 1 hour late absolutely fucked off his face. He could hardly stand and as the band continually played the intro to the first song he just stood there and melted. there was a camera right at the front of the stage looking up and there was a dribble of coke oozing from his nose. He attempted to start singing but gave up after about 10 seconds, dropped his guitar and fucked off. It was the saddest thing i have ever seen. Crowd started giving him some right stick and started throwing beer etc onto the stage. We didnt find out till after the gig that his best friend and producer Rick James had died a few hours earlier and Arthur just went off the rails. an absolute genius
hendersonjones Misura Arthur Lee was a great front man but bullied the talents of the likes of Brian Mclean
