I remember meeting Chris when he was in Stephen’s solo band. Chris was Stephen’s life/ sober coach supposedly at the time. I found it odd as Chris came in the after party and dropped his cocktail. Glass went everywhere and he was soaked. Chris will be missed as The Count was so much fun to party with.

Yeah, sad news. Might need to crank "Never Gonna Die" in his memory. RIP, Chris...

That's sad. I love Rough Cutt and Ratt.
That's way too young.

He started Mickey Ratt with Pearcy, so all the way back to the beginning. Pearcy posted about it, seemed like it hit pretty close to home.

My favorite Rough Cutt song. I asked Paul years ago why they don't play it he said that they hated it and didn't even want to record it.
