    I know he was a big supporter of motorcycle racing, even had his own team before merging with McAMS Yamaha.

    RIP firestarter. :(

    Damn that sucks a huge one. RIP Flinty.
    The Fat of the Land is imho the epitome of the big beat/electronic era. It's still one of my favorite workout records, very effective at getting the juices flowing on the turbo trainer.
    He had awesome energy on stage and his vocal work was hardcore punk, like Johnny Rotten on meth.

    Damn that sucks! RIP Keith. Not just a talented music maker, he also had his own race team that Rispoli raced for for a while.

    Unfortunate loss to the music and motorcycle industries.

    So bummed.

    He was an avid motorcyclist, had a proper CBR900 back in the day that got featured in Performance Bikes. Racing and bikes for him wasn't flavor of the month kind of thing.

    End of an era as far as I'm concerned.

  16. Gutted, the last song I listed to last night before I went to bed was Breathe. The Fat of the Land is one of my all time favorite albums.

    R.I.P. Keith...:( Your music is some of my favorite stuff. A true loss for not only the music industry, but also for your race team. I loved seeing you on TV talking about your team; loads of passion in your voice. Whatever demons you had inside, I hope you're at peace now.

    Never heard of him or them. Listened to some of their music. Meh. Not for me. Too bad he took his own life. People don't really know what chronic clinical depression is really like, unless they have it themselves.

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    He was a true petrol head. Besides Team Traction Control he was present on many grids from GP to BSB just as a fan.
