not only his voice,which is always perfect.

His guitar playing,and he took lessons ,all of the lead stuff he did here ,it's all familiar passages,but from his finger tips the blaze,seriously forget the legends of rock

JLP is the greatest,Frankie Fix and Johnny too.

Super JLP!

I first saw him in 1982 and then year after year again. He became the white Jimi Hendrix on guitar. A music-genius! What a loss!

No single day is gone before I play a gunnie song. Jeffrey RIP and God listen everyday.

@crypttonite Nothing personal, Crypto. Jeffrey was a tragic guy because he got off the smack and had every thing going for him when died suddenly.

And yes he was using at the time when Fire of Love and Miami were recorded. Kid probably was too. Ask him.

@tasj0001 Jeffrey Lee is perfection in music, in rocknroll, this doesn't mean I like every song he wrote,

such a weak comment about smack, lots of people function on all kinds of chemicals, when did heroin start to get in his way? was he a teatotaler when gun club recorded fire of love, or miami?

next time I see kid I'll ask him. I doubt it, no one ever wrote words like those-doesn't matter he wrote those words, he sung the way he sung, untouchable, BITCH, fuck bob dylan, fuck eric clapton.

@crypttonite

Always perfect?

Were you around in the early 80s?

He only came close to perfect when he was off the smack.

However this particular take is particularly hot.

I agree, I agree, JLP is one of the forgotten Black Jewels of the R&R scene.

R.I.P. Dear Jeffrey

Though your not the light of the world shine your light on me.

Also is is cool that on their last record JLP did a straight ahead blues song. It's like he came full circle or ultimately to the roots before he left us;

[EarlyLAPunk]

Near the end of his life the bass player, his girlfriend, hooked up with the drummer and Jeffery was alone in Japan, had his guitar stolen, and hit on the head. This from a fanzine for the gun club i used to get. The blues indeed!
