	Richard Hell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard Hell (born October 2, 1949) is the stage name of Richard Meyers, an American singer, songwriter and writer, probably best-known as frontman for the early punk band The Voidoids.
		Hell is often regarded as the original source of much punk fashion, including spiked hair (inspired, Hell says, by 19th century French poet Arthur Rimbaud), with torn and cut shirts often held together with safety pins (a testament more to his inability to afford replacements than to any avant-garde deconstructionist fashion sense).
		Hell was married to Patty Smyth, formerly of the band Scandal, and the two had a daughter, Ruby.

		BLANK GENERATION, Hell's 1977 album with his band the Voidoids, is one of the defining documents of punk, and that album is represented by four stellar tracks here.
		SPURTS surveys Hell's trajectory as an artist, from his pre-Voidoids bands the Neon Boys (an early version of guitar genius Tom Verlaine's Television) and the Heartbreakers (with Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan from the New York Dolls), to his post-Voidoids project Dim Stars (featuring Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore).
		Though Hell will never be credited with being prolific or stunningly eclectic, cuts as thoughtful as "Time," as jagged and searing as "Liars Beware," and as ecstatically energetic as "Love Comes in Spurts" have left a brainy, rebellious stain on rock's rulebook forever.

	Ink 19 :: Richard Hell
		I had always written Richard Hell off as an also-ran of NYC punk history: interesting enough to quit two seminal bands of the 1970s (Television and The Heartbreakers, both of which he co-founded), cool enough to only release two albums with The Voidids, but not really worth a second listen or any serious research.
		The sound quality is shite but the soul quality is high -- Hell's decency and vulnerability are on display just as much as his snottishness and anger.
		The second disc, which is all new, compiles two amazing live performances which prove Hell's cruciality beyond all doubt.
