Guy McDonough died at the age of 29. If his death was the result of a drug overdose, what a tragic waste of a young man and musical talent.

[nzoz1981]

@yallourn59 So he was 26 years old in this clip..hmmmm... so young and yet so wise (looking)

Thanks mr nzoz,as i reclaim the music of my youth,your uploads are always there,dont know if its a mid life crisis,or because the music from then is real and has heart.Todays music does not inspire me,so i got to the classics.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THESE AVAILABLE,CHEERS LEGEND!

Hard to understand why this great aussie band never made it in the usa considering the amount of crap we get from over there.

[stefanb9104]

@yallourn59 actually he didn't die of a drug overdose - you are wrong on that point!

[NewWaver80014]

@Aqene1000 He also sang lead on "Errol", released a few months before this one.

@paolorossifan2006The money Geffen put into Australian Crawl makes for one very costly hesitation. This was a time when Men At Work were at a peak and INXS were at a brink of being major league (almost). It may have been more the attitude of the band themselves than their nationality of the group (Dragon and Cold Chisel also partially screwed their US chances), having an influence on Geffen. Also, Geffen signed up Models. If it was an English label, I'd agree with you.

@nzoz1981 i reckon they just didn't want to take a chance on an australian band. after all, they did give contracts to Guns N Roses and Nirvana

[NewWaver80014]

All the speculation about Guy (I just mean overall, not necessarily here) is ultimately futile. The point is, we will never hear that voice again. :(

RIP Guy and Brad
