When the Sun Goes Down 0 Posted August 22, 2020 11 minutes ago, Ulitzer95 said: Tbh, I read the section on Wiki and I think their exclusion was fair. In order to be inducted as a member of a band or group, the criteria is 1) original member, 2) current member, or 3) performed on multiple albums. He was none of those. Just seems bitter and tedious that he hit out at it. Indeed and his other band members didn't seem to care at the time.... Now touting him as an 'essential but forgotten member' cos he's snuffed it...... He was a bit part player in the long history of the band, it'd be nice if bands could just be honest about this stuff. 'The random part time replacement for our bezza mate 40 years ago has snuffed, he was a decent bloke but the band would have survived without him' rather than touting him as essential.

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted September 1, 2020 14 minutes ago, Perhaps said: Give me a break. He was known for one song... But it was the song of my youth.I have fond memories of throwing up in a field after a night raving and taking ecstasy.I kissed my first girlfriend while listening to his music. I will never get those nights back again... To be fair when I was sobered up the next day I realised she wasn't that good looking so I dumped her. The perils of teenage years !

Clorox Bleachman 2,435 Posted September 1, 2020 55 minutes ago, Perhaps said: Give me a break. He was known for one song... He did have another song 18 years later (that charted higher!) but nobody remembers it except for this saddo. The promotion for this song was just odd. Erick was nowhere to be seen, and every interviewer would ask Alexandra if the song was about a literal elephant. Peak humour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perhaps 1,423 Posted September 1, 2020 I know that song but can't recall him featuring in it. That was probably the last song she put out before fading into the abyss. Was hilarious when she claimed she single-handedly brought the saying "elephant in the room" to the UK though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
