mono-stereo Smallman1 Yeah it was actually Dom Phillips I was thinking of. Found the interview of him on the infamous mixmag cover: https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2018/03/dom-phillips-interview Was that the one with the halo? Yeah, the reason was he’d been a nightmare all day and wouldn’t do anything. I had to go down [to the shoot]. At the end of the day, the photographer, exasperated, just said “Go like that” [clasps hands, as if in prayer]. The pictures came in and Pembo [Andy Pemberton, then editor of Mixmag] said, “Son of God.” So, we did. It was more a case of necessity than anything we set out to do. Oh, he always said he wasn’t happy about it. I think the reason he wasn’t comfortable about it was that all his mates used to phone him up and take the piss out of him. He’s quite a lad. When we did the “Son of God?” cover, he really hated that. We actually had a wrestling match about it outside the Ministry of Sound. A wrestling match? Yeah, me and Sasha wrestled. We had this protracted argument for about an hour that people were trying to break up. It didn’t become a fight, but it became this magical wrestling match: “You shouldn’t have said that.” “You should have co-operated with the photos.” [laughs]
mono-stereo I can understand why Sasha (then a young lad) would of been pissed off about that cover, but in retrospect now it’s iconic.
Cankles-McJeggings The details are fucking harrowing. Not sure I needed to know. Feel for his family and friends having to learn of such a gruesome demise. RIP Dom at least his words will live on for eternity.
Cankles-McJeggings I can’t remember where it was but he was in an online discussion on modern music with one of his silly analysis and someone kept referring to him as petridish and he got really fucking pissed off with it and had a little tantrum.
mono-stereo Dom’s last words? If you can just look up for me and clasp your hands together like this 🙏
