今日はJames Honeyman-Scottの命日。

Pretendersは大好きなバンドだから、度々このブログで紹介して来たので、今までのLyraが和訳した曲も合わせて聞いてみて欲しい。

そうすれば、Jamesのギターが魅力的で、ロックンロールしているのが、わかると思う。

Pretendersの曲は全て好きだ。

今も活動している素晴らしいバンド！

でもドキドキして恋したような気分になるChrissieの歌詞を彩るサウンドは、Jamesのいた頃が1番だった気がする。

言葉で言ってしまうとアッサリしてる風に感じてしまうが、Pretendersの1st＆2nd アルバムは、神レベルのロックンロール・バンドが作った作品なのだ。

それはPretendersの４人全員の個性が輝いていたから。

Jamesのギターがあったからだ。

Today we remember the passing of James Honeyman-Scott who Died: June 16, 1982 in London, England

James "Jimmy" Honeyman-Scott was an English rock guitarist, songwriter, and founding member of the band The Pretenders. With the Pretenders, Honeyman-Scott established a reputation, in the words of AllMusic, as "one of the most original and versatile guitarists of the early-'80s new wave movement."

In addition to his role as lead guitarist, Honeyman-Scott co-wrote a number of songs for the band, sang back-up vocals, and played keyboards on a few tracks. The song "2000 Miles" was written for him by Chrissie Hynde and released the year after his death.

In May and June 1982, Honeyman-Scott was first in Los Angeles and then in Austin, Texas, for a short visit with his wife Peggy Sue Fender (an actress/model based in Austin, Texas), whom he had married in April 1981. His wife was staying with local guitarist Mark Younger Smith at the time. While in Austin, he became involved in his first co-production effort for an album by Stephen Doster that was never released.

During the sessions with Stephen Doster in Austin, Honeyman-Scott was called back to London for a band meeting on 14 June with Chrissie Hynde and Martin Chambers that resulted in the dismissal of Pete Farndon from the Pretenders, due to Farndon's increasing substance dependence.

Two days after the dismissal of Pete Farndon, Honeyman-Scott was found dead in a girlfriend's apartment of heart failure caused by cocaine intolerance.
