What You Should Own
Mi mas profundo sentimiento por la perdida de quien fuera el mejor baterista de The Cult , nunca volvieron a tener ese toque sutil luego de la partida de Nigel , gracias por tu influencia en mis primeros pasos como baterista , mis saludos y condolencias a familiares y amigos , hasta siempre .
What a great drummer Nigel was, he had great energy n tribal influence. Such a shame for the loss of a natural talent, and who seemed a nice down to earth person. Out of all the drummers that the Cult had after, none played the original tracks like Nigel.
