	Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Classic US Punk
		Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Classic US Punk
		You don't get a more punk history than Richard Hell.
		And while never perhaps delivering the killer punch always promised Hell's importance to punk and its aftermath should never be understated.

	In Music We Trust - Richard Hell: Time
		Heartbreakers and Voidoids front man Richard Hell has left an irreplaceable, unforgettable stamp on the face of punk music.
		The Voidoids' "Time" finds Richard Hell taking jangly pop and running it through a fierce rock grinder, as he beefs up the timid pop and gives it a face lift.
		It is The Voidoids live in 1983 at the 688 Club in Atlanta, Georgia where Hell gets quirky and crazy on the wild "I Can Only Give You Everything", a solid, tight, punchy rocker that finds Hell's rock slur at the top of its game.

	The Voidoids
		The Voidoids was a New York punk band of the late 1970s, fronted by Richard Hell, a former member of Television.
		The group is best known for Hell's nihilistic and decadent worldview, reflected in songs like, "Who Says It's Good To Be Alive".
		Their song "Blank Generation" served as an anthem for the new wave movement in New York.

	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 was an originator of the punk fashion look, the first to spike his hair and wear torn, cut and drawn-on shirts, often held together with safety pins.
		Richard Hell and the Voidoids' best known songs were "Blank Generation" (the title track of their original album), "Love Comes in Spurts," "The Kid With the Replaceable Head," and "Time" (title of a 2002 Hell collection, from Matador, of outtakes, unreleased, and live material).

		Hell, a founding member of the Neon Boys and the Heartbreakers, before forming the Voidoids in 1976, is a crucial voice in American music and literature.
		The first Voidoids album, Blank Generation’; (Sire, 1977) has been cited more times than we can count as one of the most influential of its time.

	Robert Quine at the I-94 Bar
		He was the principal guitarist in Richard Hell and the Voidoids, a unique quartet spitting out some of the New Wave's most disturbing music.
		As the singer and bass player, Hell's quavering yelp, intense presence and wired stage antics were in sharp contrast to Quine, the epitome of cool in shades and sports coat, a seemingly ever-present cigarette dangling from his mouth.
		They were lucrative times for some but not the Voidoids who dissolved in a sea of industry indifference and disinterest on the part of their singer, by then a captive of other distractions.

		The other said he wanted to watch it burn (he later changed his name to [Richard] Hell)." The Voidoids came out of the New York scene, and were more roots rock than most of their contemporaries.
		Blank Generation is the debut album from Richard Hell & The Voidoids, and I personally think it is bit better than Television's Marquee Moon.
		The Voidoids, though generally less technical, were able to unleash more raw energy and edge than Television.

		Robert Quine, the original lead guitarist for Richard Hell and The Voidoids, was found dead of an apparent heroin overdose in his apartment Saturday.
		The Voidoids' "Blank Generation" introduced Quine's fretwork, which combined artfulness, randomness, knife-sharp distortion and plain old skronk, possibly the best example ever of "fractured" guitar playing.
		When Hell disbanded the Voidoids after two albums, Quine was in demand as a session guitarist.

	Richard Hell, Spurts: The Richard Hell Story
		Hell’s next stop was in the Heartbeakers, with refugee New York Dolls Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan, and their 1975 “Chinese Rocks” (which Hell wrote with Dee Dee Ramone) could have been Top 40 if we’d all lived in another world.
		The happy-nihilist heart of Spurts may be the 11 cuts from Richard Hell and the Voidoids, that bracing aggregation of jagged chords and found fronk forever anchored by Hell’s vocals and bass, and by twin-genius guitarists Ivan Julian and Robert Quine.
		In view of Robert Quine’s suicide last year, the Voidoids as such can never reunite, but Hell’s 2004 effort “She’ll Be Coming (for Dennis Cooper),” with Ivan Julian aboard, shows he can still deliver the goods, albeit now in an Iraqabilly mode.

		This is by Ulli Lommel who did The Boogeyman, Devonsville Horror, Brainwaves, Tenderness of the Wolves, etc. Lommel himself has a part in the movie, and there's even a cameo by Andy Warhol and some freak with flashing goggles and a violin that is Warhol's assistant.
		There's a few live performances by the Voidoids, some wandering the streets and meeting odd people, and a few odd enough characters to make this watchable.
		As I said this is no work of cinematic genius but it's definitely watchable and a decent little slice of NYC back in "the day".

		That settled (and not as easy as it sounds) Richard Hell & the Voidoids were born, and their biggest contribution to Rock'n'Roll (in the punk sense) Blank Generation was created !

		Personally, I'll always remember him from the jagged guitar parts from Richard Hell and Voidoids' "Blank Generation", which were the only guitar parts that I ever bothered to learn and faithfully reproduce note for note in the many times my band covered the song.
		The "Blank Generation" was a song written by Richard Hell and the Voidoids that appeared on their album of the same name in 1977.

		Their influence is overstated - as I state unequivocally in the new chapter I've added to Velvets to Voidoids.
		The sheer 'off-beatness' of the best of this stuff was a powerful antidote to the course of Punk elsewhere Stateside; and was certainly the true antecedent of so much so-called 'post-punk' (awful term).

		The full-length, no-overlap Dim Stars is clearly a vehicle for the long-inactive Hell, and he takes the wheel with the aplomb of a NASCAR veteran, slipping lithely into the cut-up lyrical style he worked in the '70s with the Voidoids (whose Robert Quine guests on five tracks).
		Even though long stretches of the album degenerate into skronky improvisation, "All My Witches Come True" and "The Night Is Coming On" jerk and skitter with the strung-out energy of Hell's heyday.
		Partly due to the fact that Hell was never a prolific songwriter, there are renditions of "Blank Generation" by Television and the Voidoids, and two "Love Comes in Spurts," one by the Neon Boys the other by the Voidoids.

		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).
		Uncut (p.122) - 4 stars out of 5 - "As an instant of alternative history, with Verlaine and Richard Lloyd's sharp, glassy riffs serving Hell's astonishing tale of an identity crisis in the womb, the band clearly his, it's fascinating."

		Within a year, however, frustrated with Verlaine's creative leadership, Hell set out on his own, joining up with ex-New York Dolls Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan to form the Heartbreakers.
		But with the attention on Thunders, bassist Hell left in months, eventually forming Richard Hell and the Voidoids with the late Robert Quine on guitar.
		The band, who went on to tour with the Clash, had fallen quiet by the late Seventies, and in spite of 1982's solid Destiny Street release, the Voidoids flamed out.

		Richard Hell pioneered early New York punk, with a sound featuring raw, raunchy guitars and bass playing fairly simply arranged songs scorning the polish of mainstream rock, indulging in its rough sound.
		While not emphasizing speed or aggression, the Voidoids' sound nonetheless helped to define the unhinged characteristics essential to punk rock.
		Hell, whom Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren attempted to talk into immigrating to the U.K. to front a band of McLaren's creation, also pioneered the look of British punks, with short-cropped hair and ripped clothing.
