		Richard Fortus was born on November 17, 1966 in St. Louis.
		The newest and youngest addition, and the only human-looking guitarist, Fortus is Izzy Stradlin on speed, with the stonesey vibe, chopping his telecaster like a man possessed by Keith Richards.
		The first thing I heard Richard play was the beginning of "Stray Cat Blues" by the Stones and he did it with the right feel.

	CONCERT REVIEW
		And Butler's bandmates, Richard Fortus (guitar), Frank Ferrer (bass) and Chris Wilson (drums), are talented musicians who provide the tight, aggressive sound that puts a Nineties stamp on Furs' material.
		And Fortus turns his little corner of the stage into guitar heaven, playing with such drive that he recalls both Pete Townshend and the spirit of punk in the process.
		Richard Fortus told Consumable about the website after the San Diego show and he and the rest of the band are very excited about using the Internet to connect with supporters.

		At Richard’s request, Bruce swapped the stock Pearl White pickguard and three single coil layout for a Black pickguard with a single/single/hum pickup configuration to lend a bit more of a brutal look and sonic approach—although Richard was clear that his preference was for low-output vintage-type coils throughout.
		Richard: Under my confidentiality agreement with Guns n' Roses, I'm not allowed to discuss preferences of cup cakes, nor any other type of pastries or baked goods and their flavors or types.

		Like the group's 1994 self-titled debut, the new disc ``Trysome Eatone'' is a thoroughly evocative affair, steeped with Butler's signature smoky croaks and croons and shrouded in guitarist Richard Fortus' lush textures.
		The dozen songs were penned by the two Richards primarily on acoustic guitar at Butler's apartment in New York's artsy East Village.
		Fortus first became acquainted with Butler several years back when his former band, Pale Divine, opened on the Furs' farewell tour.

		At this point, Richard Fortus stole my attention, he did a BRILLIANT job and so did the rest of the band, one thing that i will always say no matter who plays Mr.Brownstone.
		Richard Fortus, he gave the song the power it needed, and let me tell you one thing, this guy delives ALLOT to the sound of the band.
		Richard again shows what hes made off and slams these strings that took the song the high energy towards the end.

	Love Spit Love live at Universalbuzz.com!!!
		Richard Butler kept at it until the early 90’s when, characteristically bored of singing ‘Pretty In Pink’, he called a halt to the Furs.
		In 1995, tho, Richard reclaimed his brother, and conscripted ex-Pale Divine guitarist Richard Fortus and NYC drummer-at-large Frank Ferror, birthing the band Love Spit Love.
		The result is melodic and abrasive, a gorgeously flammable soundscape, perfect for Richard’s instantly recognizeable growl.

	dOc DVD Review: Psychedelic Furs - Live from the House of Blues (2001) - Printable
		Led by the distinctive and scratch growl vocals of Richard Butler, The Psychedelic Furs quickly established themselves, to me at least, as a pivotal group in that all important British invasion.
		Richard Butler, while never being a truly polished vocalist, does posess one of rock music's most unique and distinct voices, and time has done little to diminish that.
		This is not a band known for their compelling theatrics, so Pioneer is forced to rely on the same half a dozen predictable camera angles, choosing to focus primarily on the somewhat animated Richard Butler.

		Custom scored by NYC soundsmith Richard Fortus with the goal of “...creating a dialog between music and picture,” the tracks beautifully interpret the visuals.
		Equally unique is the score by musician Richard Fortus—ranging from mellow acoustic rhythms to modern rock techno sounds—that was customized for Surf Movie after the reels had already been spliced.

		Here Richard Butler rebuilds lost credibility with a creative new guitarist, Richard Fortus, and a sound more atuned to early Furs than the pop puppets they became.
		With some strong influence from his early band, Psychedlic Furs, Richard Butlter rocks hard as probably one of the best frontmen of the 80's.
		Richard Fortus (later to join Guns N Roses) replaces John Ashton on lead guitar, and, for some reason (probably legal or contractual), the band changes its name from "The Psychedelic Furs" to "Love Spit Love." Is Fortus an improvement?

		Produced by Butler, Fortus and Ben Grosse (Filter, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Violent Femmes), Trysome Eatone aims for the head and heart, with harmonically complex melodies, dynamic rhythms and subtly poignant lyrics.
		Trysome Eatone is both a triumphant union of European and American pop styles and a powerful slice of pre-millennial melancholia and humor.
		Seeking a new platform for his musical and lyrical visions, the singer teamed with Richard Fortus, who had impressed Butler when opening for the Furs with his former band.

		Even at the height of their popularity, in the free-for-all bliss of the 1980s, the Psychedelic Furs were a difficult band to label.
		In fact, the core group of brothers Richard and Tim Butler, with guitarist John Ashton, were much more akin to The Damned than The Human League.
		At the front of this sonic maelstrom was frontman Richard Butler, an art-school student-turned-reluctant sex symbol who belted out lyrics of love, pain, and pleasure with an eternally-smoky set of lungs.

		Rich Fortus smolders and burns those guitars, and a perfect foil was wrapped around the hunky virtuoso by the excellent second ax of Eric Schermerhorn.
		The other Richard, Fortus, commanded what seemed a second stage all to himself, taking very little notice of what the rest of the band was up to.
		The Psychedelic Furs were always a blender band of Richard Butler waving his arms, an alcoholic speed-coke fiend babbling acidic revisionist punk while twirling with a frog in his throat; and, while keeping an honest air of pop catchiness, they managed to bring in a dangerous tone of sardonic put-down...
