I'm in shock again, he was a very good friend of mine, he was a great person one of the many I do consider a real friend, he was active here for many years

Really sad news again, shit!!

Without any doubt he was a great person and a great fan, he was really bright, funny, cool, very knowledgeable about rock, not just the Rolling Stones and he was sooooooooooooooooo Stone, stoner than Brian... Between many things he was the winner of one of our trivia, I’m sure it was the hardest; he won an original photograph by Fernando Aceves. This is him saying a public "thank you" to Rocks Off, he made the caption and sent this one to me

I like that one, in fact I took his face from this picture to add Jimmy to our Rocks Off logo, he is at the top-right corner, above Irina, the image is in fact a mirror of the original

I remember Fang very well from here and that other place. I remember calling on him to weigh in as technical expert on the ridiculous notion someone had that Jagger played guitar on Highway Child. Fang proved by algebra that it had to be Keith.

RIP

I remember that well: hmph. trying to post the link to that discussion, which took place EXACTLY TEN YEARS AGO yesterday (how weird is that?) does not work. You can find it easy, though, Zack if you wanna revisit.

No.I am not Syph.Syph and I used to hang at concerts with Jimmy.Jimmy,Syph.and I had recently gone to see X here in Sacramento.Going to see X was a yearly thing,the next show won't be the same without Jimmy.Jimmy and I had gone to see Alice Cooper a few months back as well,whenever a band came near Northern California that Jimmy liked he would take me and turn me on to bands I really didn't know.He taught me a lot.And meeting the band after the show was always a given.He was fearless when it came to getting to meet the band.Anyway,I met She Rat(Erin) once when they were dating,Jimmy still talked about you up until a few weeks ago.
Like Syph said Jimmy had Pneumonia that lead a heart attack,thanks for all the kind words I will pass them on to his family,Scot

Holy freaking Shit, I was great friends with Jimmy. We traded a bunch f times, he was a huge Iggy fan. Fucking hell, can't believe it.

RIP Jimmy Whitley. Another goodbye to another good friend. Fucking hell...

I just re-read Jimmy's email from 2005 about his and Syph's band Angels of Wonderland and their "Stones EP".

Syph, if you read this, please PM FG.

speaking of regulars who've passed, did anyone ever find out about TTM? gazza sent me his name and i spent about three hours one afternoon a year or two ago combing the interweb for info but couldn't find anything.

Oh NO. This is horrible news. I haven't talked to Jimmy in years but once upon a time we came to the realization that, if we lived in the same town, we would form a band and live on pizza noodles (his funny genius words) and I was always keeping that one in my back pocket for when all else failed. Now my back pocket is empty.

God damn it. I hate this fucking shit.

Just another thing I remember about the guy. I met him once, like I said, then talked on the phone a few times, one was about 2-3 years after I met him. Most intense conversation about women, sex, love, god, all those difficult topics. We were both high/drunk on something, of course, but the guy was all emotions and expressing them. He was almost female in that respect, which I recognized as a rare and admirable quality in men that he was one of the few to have.

I had no luck either. Steve Phelps was TTM's real name. He sent me a PM saying that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer, had about six months left and didnt want to go public but that he would just 'fade away quietly'.

He was last on here on 18th October 2008, which was about 2-3 months later. In accordance with his wishes, we kept his disappearance private until we did a thread for him on what would have been his birthday on March 27, 2009.
