The bassist for Magazine throughout their existence was indeed Barry Adamson. He also played on the first 2 Visage albums, although not officially a member of the band. The second of those albums was recorded the same year Magazine split (1981), and I haven't heard anything of him since then. Anyone know the whereabouts of any of the other ex-members of Magazine? They were Howard Devoto (vocals), Dave Formula (keyboards), John McGeoch (guitar) and John Doyle (drums). I know Dave and John M joined Visage for the first 2 albums, and John M also played with Siouxsie & The Banshees for a time. Martin. "We must not be frail We must watch"

Howard Devoto released a solo album on IRS last year, "Jerky Versions of the Dream" - got some airplay on the usual stations. Barry Adamson has done some studio work with Pete Shelley with whom Devoto was in the Buzzcocks. John McGeoch was in the Banshees for about two years, left and was replaced by Robert Smith of the Cure. Smith left about a year ago to start up an expanded Cure - I forget who replaced him. McGeoch is now in the Armoury Show with Richard Jobson (ex-Skids) and Russell Webb (who I think was also in Magazine). The Skids were a proto-punk turned artso band from Dunfermline, Scotland that also featured Stuart Adamson. -- It's the damage that we do and never know, it's the words that we don't say that scare me so...

He appeared on some Numan work (incl. the single with Satie's Trois Gymnopedies). Is Stuart Adamson the one who's now in Big Country?
