Very sad news!
Was a very good drummer!
Amazing on the scandinavian tour in 2002!
Hope you will jam with Buddy Rich and other great drummers in Heaven!
Drum in peace, friend! D.I.P
All Respect,
// Stand In Line.

I’ve just added a tribute to Keith to the site, including a video, two demos and three photos from 2002/2003 when he helped Therapy? out.

Great idea from the band to pay tribute like that. Thanks T? and Rene.
My favourite Keith moment was when Michael jumped on his drum riser at Taubertal and promptly fell off, Keith burst out laughing but held it together and didn’t miss a beat mid-song. :-)
Great drummer and really suited the band, I thought. There’s a radio broadcast from the Stockholm gig on that tour that’s available in trading circles, and he made the band sound vibrant again which is something they had lacked (in my opinion) since the “Suicide Pact” tour in ‘99.
RIP dude.

So what’s the deal with the High Anxiety demo? Never heard that one before. Can someone light me in?

First I’ve heard of the song too. It doesn’t sound like it ‘became’ anything off the album, so probably just a song that fell by the wayside.

That’s a pretty collection of thoughts and images - I loved the live video, good quality and it reveals a good light of Keith as a performer and musician. Judging from the article, he’s a great man to be and work with as well.
*Listens to the demos with a grin.*

well, that intro/verse - riff became, in my opinion, “stand in line”. rhythm and speed are different, so is the rest of the music and the lyrics of course, but there
is enough in there that reminds me of “stand in line”. :)

You could be right Vagabond - I recognised ‘something’ but didn’t know what.
Now that you mention it, it is a little similar to ‘Stand In Line’.
Cool tune though, nice to have!

These two demo´s are excellent, many thanks for Andy & co for letting us hear them. But people, tell me what song does that HA song remind me of…I cannot get that song to my mind…is it a song by The Who or..? Tell me, it´s that riff which is driving me mad:)
But anyway a great song which should have been there on the finished High Anxiety album.

Quite right, I’m not a fan of Voodoo Doll, I’m actually quite devastated! But I guess sometimes bands and their fans just have to disagree.

High Anxiety is a pretty decent tune - you’d have thought it would have at least made its way onto a b-side (its way better than ‘mommy you can call the ambulance now’ as well)

Never got the single, so I haven’t heard “…Ambulance…”, hopefully they’ll read this an decide to re-record HA for the new album!

I met Keith back in November, 1986 on a bus from Lancaster to a Bon Jovi concert in Bradford. He was with a guy named Tristan. We had so much fun that night. He was with the band Hardline at the time and I bought the cassette Nightmare on Lodge Street featuring their song Walk Away. I never saw him again though he phoned me numerous times as a teenager my parents would not allow me to take his calls.
I came across the news of his death accidentally. Very sad.
