Actually he's sounded DAMNED good on some relatively recent recordings.  I
haven't heard last year's Bunnymen record yet, but hear really positive
things about it.  What I don't like avbout HIM smoking is that he doesn't
play guitar live anymore, and the most probable reason is so he can have his
hands free to smoke.  I saw the "Bunnymen" live a few years back and they
sounded good, eveb great, did a well-chosen set with lots of album tracks,
but I couldn't help thinking that it would've looked a lot like a band of
ringers if it was Will and Ian both on guitars, instead of Will's guitar,
Ian just singing, and three mystery dudes on drums, 2nd guitar and keys.
Good set, but didn't *look* like the legendary live Bunnymen I never got to
see.
