Just found out, my mates just messaged me. Gutted! Huge Jam fan. His drumming was unbelievable. What a sad day for music. RIP Rick, an unbelievable drummer and top bloke :(
I always thought his drumming was better than any other punk/new wave band. I still remember hearing that Going Underground had gone straight in at #1 and exactly where I was at the time. Bands didn't do that back then. Certainly not 3 kids from Woking. RIP Rick.
The Jam stand-out hit and spawned a newborn generation of jam fans from the film Billy Elliott
it stinks of life and youth in the late 1970s and early 1980s and nothing has changed in life and its 2025
His drumming on these 2 are off the scale. I'm a huge Wella fan, but without Foxton and Buckler you don't get one of the greatest bands of all time. There was no hiding place in a 3 man band. Absolute genius with them sticks.
