Jeffrey Lee Pierce (217 words) |
 | JEFFREY LEE PIERCE, founder of seminal '80s blues-punk band The Gun Club, died from a blood clot on the brain in Utah, Colorado on Sunday, March 31 1996. |
| Pierce, a dynamic frontman and guitarist, was beset by drug and alcohol problems which, in time, took their toll. |
| There was a self-obsessed, self-pitying and self-destructive side to Pierce that was unpleasant to behold, probably brought about by his years of heroin addiction, but he was also a ferocious and talented musician and when he applied himself wholly to the music, he transcended everything else. |

| Jeffrey wants to be… cool.” We were listening to Captain Beefheart and David Bowie Low and the influence got a bit off-track again and mixed up and it became interesting for that one EP. |
| Jeffrey was really into guitar playing so there’s a lot of soloing and stuff going on and we had a lot of interplay and pieces of things sliding together and going in and out of each other. |
| She was like, “Jeffrey went into a coma and had a brain aneurism and he died yesterday.” And I was completely devastated and shocked. |
