RIP Jock

James Paull (aka Jock, aka Tokin' Blackman), guitarist in TISM passed away on the 9th of April. He died of cancer.

I remember going to my 2nd (and last) TISM show in 2004. I glanced over at Jock for a second then watched Ron jumping around half naked, Humphrey singing and Les and Jon dancing away. I remember turning back to Jock and seeing he had pulled a lit cigarette from mid-air. That's my memory of him. Jumping around like a fuckhead in the mosh of a TISM show and seeing Jock smoking casually amongst all the craziness. I really don't know that much about him, but he was part of a band I love so much.

RIP Jock
