last I heard of Brian he was still talking about pushing his "new Lords of the new church" which was always going to be a bad idea

the post Brian James Damned were still a great band, they were more fun without him, the vanian sensible scabies line up rules no matter who plays bass and the vanian scabies 80's line up at least had a couple of great cover versions (alone again or, eloise)

Unfortunately Scabies was the one with the "business acumen" which means that he's no longer in the line up
