Limey blues legend John Mayall kicked the bucket and up and fucking died on the 22nd of July.
British guitarist and Bluesbreakers leader John Mayall has died. Mayall’s family announced the news on his official social media accounts, stating that the musician died in his California home on Monday, July 22, “surrounded by loving family.” The statement cited unspecified health issues, but did not reveal an exact cause of death. John Mayall was 90 years old.
Dubbed “the Godfather of British Blues,” John Mayall was a nurturing figure to a slew of musicians at the start of their careers. Mayall formed the Bluesbreakers in the early 1960s after moving to London, and the band’s shifting lineup included a post-Yardbirds, pre-Cream Eric Clapton, who recorded with Mayall on the highly influential 1966 LP Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton. When Clapton left to start Cream, he was replaced by eventual Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green and Mick Taylor, who was ultimately snatched up by the Rolling Stones.
Unlike say, most...okay, ALL limey filth that destroyed American music by stealing it like the pirates they are Mayall stayed true to his love of "da blooz" so much so that he annoyed the shit out of anyone who had the misfortune of ever having to listen to it. Mayall never really achieved any huge commercial success simply because he voice was weak, his guitar playing skills shitty and he wrote really stupid sexist songs when not borrowing from other singer songwriters who for the most part weren't really into "da blooz" Mayall did have a talent for finding people he could steal with like that anti-vaxxer cocksucker Clapton and that wife beater John McVie. He did find Mick Taylor of the Taylor Swift cult and Taylor became a Stone and then a drug addict and now Taylor looks lumpy all thanks to John Mayall.
Here's an total asshole grieving
R.I.P. John.
