Rene Berg

Recently I have heard that Rene Berg had died in August. Does anyone know how? Has anybody got his solo work? What's it like?

I've got it. Mellow, yet glammy. Kinda' like Bowie and T Rex meets Hanoi (but I might be off on this assessment) Pretty good stuff, imo.

<font size="3" face="Arial">I've said it before and I will say it again, the only person to release truely quality stuff after the demise of Hanoi was Rene. Even though he wasn't a 100% (or even 5% according to Mike) member of Hanoi, he is the only one who that band should have been proud to have their name on the post-Hanoi albums.

Lee Ratbag of this here site is married to a lady who knew Rene, and according to him, people aren't saying what took Rene's life. There is the obvious speculation that it was an O.D., but nobody will say for sure, and Lee's wife doesn't think it was an O.D.

Whatever killed Rene, it breaks me up to think somebody as good as him never truely reached their potential, and it sucks that he never got more stuff recorded.

I have just done a search on Rene Berg here, and it appears that there was a topic about him only two weeks ago. My apologize!

Don't apologize!!! We are all here for the same reasons and some of us never get tired of talking about Rene and folk like him. I am thrilled that finally people are showing up here to talk about Rene.

I understand that I may have sounded like I was complaining about "saying it again", but that is not what I meant. I have always stated that Rene was the best thing after Hanoi, and I will always say that until somebody else turns out something 1% as honest as his "Leather" CD.

No, always ask about what you wish to ask about. Even if a topic has been done before, you might get input from somebody who hasn't had an input before. We at this site don't mind the "same questions over and over" again. Unlike many site, we love to talk about the same bands time and time again!!! So ask away!!!

By the way, WELCOME TO THE SITE!!!
