That's a bummer to wake up to. A long time ago Mike used to be pretty active on GS, before the dicks flooded it. He was always really open and generous with his knowledge. Something he said that has stuck with me was along the lines of you do whatever it takes to get the result the song or the client needs. Some of the things he did with Mutt Lange were ground breaking and layed foundations for a lot of stuff that is now commonplace. And he was an Aussie, out there kickin major butt. Bit of a studio hero of mine. Such a bummer. Vale.

How would you like to send people to this page when they say "So...what have you done?"
And he had Ship in his name. Which is kinda related to Pirates. :ar!
Absolute legend.
