CAN CO-FOUNDER DEAD AT FIFTY-THREE

MICHAEL KAROLI, singer, guitarist and violinist for legendary German experimental rockers, CAN, died on November 17th; he was fifty-three. Co-founded by Karoli in 1966, Can released their debut, "Monster Movie," two years later and went through numerous incarnations before splitting in 1979, and regrouping for 1989's reunion album, "Rite Time." Karoli also recorded a solo album, "Deluge," in 1984. "I'd say that bands like Can had as much to do with the way I approach music as anything did," MONSTER MAGNET's DAVE WYNDORF told Rolling Stone. "Michael Karoli's guitar-playing was so far out there, but it always made some sense. He never made you think he was being weird for the sake of being weird."
