The Death of Michael Shankar

"If you get dropped by a label in the 80s or the early 90s, it was definitely cancer. You were totally done," he says. "You're literally tearing up on stage going, my life again. I'm going to drop." The singer played drums on Bad Land and later went on to play in Mars Volta. Michael Shankar said that Jamie Lane would just kick it in his bunk,. drinking vodka by himself to the head, dude.
