Was he in the current line up? Their last album wasn't bad, they were the first grunge band I could actually appreciate. Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam eluded me completely, all I ever thought when hearing their stuff was "man, has no-one taught these guys the circle of fifths and which chords should go where?". I really had a hard time listening myself into the grunge genre. To this day, for all their influence, Nirvana leaves me bewildered.
Getting back to Mike Starr: Ruhe in Frieden, but hopefully with enough grunge around him to keep him busy. Kurt Cobain now has a bassist.
