If you want to see what a genuis he was look at the video for Hurt. As Trent Reznor said Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore. Also he does an amazing version of Personal Jesus and I am sure that all the Depeche Mode fans on here will agree. He was also a top notch songwriter and songs like Folsom Prison Blues, and I awlk the line are classics.
I saw them 2 years ago in Landsdown Road and they were class. It will be a great gig but I won't be going as I hope to go see Bruce and I will be at AC/DC.
