“Eddie”, lead singer and the last original member still performing with Eddie and the Hot Rods. A very funny guy and a real bundle of energy on stage. RIP.

    Just heard it in the radio. That song pretty clearly in my head. Seems he was still gigging. 
    RIP.

    Aye, and 96 Tears/Get Outta Denver on the B-side if I remember rightly. I loved that record, although I wasn't into the punk thing at the time. It wasn't really punk though, as I remember it. RIP Barrie. Another chunk of my youth gone. 
    Call me Dave.

    RIP. 
    He’s been poorly for a while and hadn’t been able to do the last few gigs with the band (they did some double headers with Stiff Little Fingers recently). I hadn’t realised quite how ill he was though and it was a bit of a shock to hear this morning that he’d passed on. Only 63 so no great age really, but then he’d had a hell of a life one way or another.

    Blimey, only 63.  "Do Anything" is one of the great pop songs.  I was in a covers band in 1977 and that was one of the first songs we learned...

    RIP, and thoughts with his loved ones.

    Shit.. I feel really old now.
    "Do Anything" was such a classic and it seems like only yesterday that it charted. anguished
    RIP Barrie.

    Bugger, just seen this. 
    About 6 or 7 years ago I was playing in O'Neills in Southend with a covers band and Barrie was in the pub.  He was game for getting up and singing "Do Anything You Wanna Do". 
    Not much of a claim to fame for me but I really enjoyed it all the same. 
    Very nice guy.

    A friend of mine saw them just a few months ago supporting Stiff Little Fingers (I think).  He said they were on good form, he was quite shocked to hear this news the other day.

    I’m a friend of the Rods guitarist, even the band were shocked that he’d gone so quickly. Apparently he’d looked a bit healthier over the last few weeks.
