What's really heartening is all the positive stuff flowing from everywhere. He was very forthright of course but he really wasn't there to piss people off, just to get on with doing whatever the hell he wanted. Reports coming in of a relaxed, funny dude that knew himself very well. Pretty bloody inspiring actually.
What I said on FB was this:
"Saw him once in Sheffield in 2008 - and for the last time this year at Glastonbury. When Metropolis came on at the latter I felt the mud shake and the rain vibrate. I understood then why he stood stock still all the time on stage, because he was a living conduit through which pure glorious rock passed.
Without him the world is a less heavy place by far. \m/"
