DEVO "GUT FEELING" LIVE 1977 . . . . A SAD FUCKING DAY . . . . ALLAN MYERS, ORIGINAL DRUMMER AND TIMEKEEPER WITH THIS HUGELY INFLUENTIAL BAND DIES AT 58 OF BRAIN CANCER . . . . FROM 77 UNTIL THE MID 80's MYERS KEPT ALL KINDS OF RADICAL TIME BEHIND THE KIT FOR THE BOYS FROM AKRON . . . . A NATURAL AND INTUITIVE DRUMMER, NOBODY ELSE COULD'VE BROUGHT WHAT HE DID TO THEIR TABLE OF TWISTED, QUIRKY ELECTRO PUNK.

FOR THOSE WHO WERE ACTUALLY DIGGING THEIR STUFF THROUGH THE YEARS OF '78, '79 AND '80 YOU'LL KNOW JUST HOW TOTALLY RAD THESE GUYS WERE, LIKE NOTHING ELSE ANYWHERE, IF YOU WERE INTO IT, MOST OF YOUR FRIENDS THOUGHT YOU WERE A COMPLETE RETARD . . . . THEN, BY THE RELEASE OF 'FREEDOM OF CHOICE' ALL THE JOCKO HOMOS WERE RAVING EM UP . . . . FUCK IT, NO POINT GETTING BITTER NOW . . . . REST IN PEACE ALLAN MYERS, YOU WERE A MAJOR PART OF SOMETHING NEW, WONDERFUL AND UNIQUE, THANK YOU . . . . ARE WE NOT MEN, WE ARE DEVO.
