15 Years

On this post I would like to congratulate Rich Good for being the guitarist of The Psychedelic Furs for 15 years.

In the mid 2000s when Rich used to be in The Pleased, the band was the opening act for The Psychedelic Furs and I think at the last show The Furs invited Rich to join them on doing a cover of the Roxy Music song "Virginia Plain".

Then in 2008 original guitarist John Ashton left The Psychedelic Furs and so later The Furs' manager called Rich Good. At first Rich thought The Furs wanted him to design a website or a poster but the manager asked Rich if he would like to be the new guitarist of The Psychedelic Furs; and has been since 2009.

Thank you so much Rich Good for your contribution, for your music, and for Made Of Rain. Congratulations!

Just now I discovered a new interview that Rich Good did on the website Palm Springs Life. Here is the link to the interview if you would like to read it. https://www.palmspringslife.com/the-psychedelic-furs-guitarist-rich-goods-double-life-in-the-desert/

I am still working on the second part of the fifth anniversary special of my blog. I know it's taking a while, but hopefully it will be finished very soon.

Behind the Albums: Here Came The Psychedelic Furs: B-Sides & Lost Grooves

A quote from Richard Butler on The Psychedelic Furs' compilation album B-Sides & Lost Grooves, released in 1994.

Richard Butler (on not being happy with Columbia releasing the album): "Those songs weren't lost. They were thrown away. It was like they went through our garbage for it." (Unknown source, 1990s/2000s?)
