| Troutbreath User Info... | I was very sad to hear that Doug Bennett, lead singer of Doug and the Slugs had pass away in a Calgary Hospital. I've been a fan of this band for years, Doug Bennett wrote some great lyrics. He will be missed. - Mon, 18 Oct 2004 8:36pm | ||

| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | I remember one X-mas when I was about 7 or 8 years old, I got two records: Stray Cats "Rant & Rave" and Doug & The Slugs "Wrap It Up" Sad. - Tue, 19 Oct 2004 5:26pm | ||
| DOC VEE User Info... | See what excessive amounts of alcohol will do to you kids? I know his agent and he was pissed all the time, I also know people from The Questionaires who were very good friends with the Slugs back in the 80s and from what I understand Doug Bennett was a complete arshole. Sure he wrote good tunes but he was a drunken dick-head most of the time. - Wed, 20 Oct 2004 6:09am | ||
| Troutbreath User Info... | Uhhuh...leadsinger ...yup drunken dickhead...yup....asshole most of the time...uhhhh...so what's your point? - Wed, 20 Oct 2004 8:57am | ||
| Stringbender User Info... | Drunk or not, it is still a sad thing. In many ways it is even sadder if he was a drunk. I saw them a few times back in the 80's. I remember being at the Canada Summer Games (rowing for Saskatchewan...yeah we sucked) in 1985 in St John New Brunswick, and the Slugs played the finale party, and it was a total blast. - Wed, 20 Oct 2004 1:22pm | ||
