Taken from someone’s tribute on
Myspace which I think sums him up beautifully.



 



"I'll kick the shit out of both of
those fake ass biker jack offs for free."

-Raven (on Tommy Lee & Kid Rock fighting for 5 million dollars.)



 



I’d been friends with Raven for some
years via Killing Joke and a few drinks before and after gigs etc, but we had
become good friends since he requested my involvement with Mob Research. 
During the last few months the laughs and piss takes we had will stay with me
forever.  Every conversation left me laughing.  I feel honoured to
have know and to have spent time (albeit far to short) talking with such a
fuckin’ great geezer.  I am so sad right now I can’t believe
it!



 



My heart, deepest respect and condolences go
out to Paul’s family and close friends, Band members, Gatherers and everyone
luckily enough to have known a true gent, musician, Joker and all round beautiful
person.  



 



I raise my glass with tears in my eyes and
salute – THE RAVEN!  



 



Stay Tough Boss



 



Chris
