		John McGeoch, who died on March 4 aged 48, was the guitarist in a number of bands of the post-punk era, most notably Visage and Siouxsie and The Banshees.
		Yet it was with the arrival of McGeoch in early 1980 that Siouxsie's imagination appeared fully to take flight on a series of rich and strange records that confirmed the band as the progenitors of a genre of mournful, shoe-gazing music beloved by a generation of misunderstood adolescents with a penchant for fl hair dye.
		John McGeoch was born at Greenock, Strathclyde, on May 28 1955 and spent his later youth in Manchester, where he met Howard Devoto.

		McGeoch says that the band is fortunate to have three prolific songwriters: Lydon, Dias and himself.
		McGeoch says that he "maybe writes 50 or 60 sketches" and usually thinks that "maybe ten of those...are good enough to play for the guys." Once they are played to the band, the musicians will pick out two or three for continued work.
		McGeoch explains that the difference between recording and performing is like "the difference between oil painting and water colors." He believes that part of what "makes PIL a good band is that [they] know the difference between making records and performing live."

	That What Is Not (1992)
		John Lydon's posse have always possessed the ability to astound, whether with flamboyant sound experiments or sheer blazing anger, but rarely have they combined the two with such deftness and power.
		The fear that John Lydon might have been in danger of burning, or indeed chilling, out as he slips into his later thirtysomethings is vanquished here with a convincingly realizedgusto.
		It is, however, an aptly named record, featuring John Lydon's patented rants on such topics as drug abuse, governmental abuse of power, and religion.

		Magazine are among my very favourite bands and John's amazing guitar work was a huge part of their brilliance - the astonishing solo on 'Shot By Both Sides' is but one example of his genius.

		John was also an entertainer and a charming gentleman, his smile was sincere and his voice which I can still hear, had a gentle Scottish lilt which would make the adjective ‘apparent’, sound like the noun for a mother or father.
		When playing as ‘Janet & the Icebergs’ in 1980, John was about to show some baiting idiot in the crowd a bit of Scottish etiquette but not before first retiring stage left to change out of his soft shoes.
		It was nice to see John in a recent documentary, remember his time with the band so fondly but also heartbreaking to hear him recount the events leading up to his departure so acutely.

		As success continued for the band McGeoch was weighed down by personal problems and a constant battle with his demons which would in time end his employment as a Banshee.
