^seeing as Stella is the one with the (managerial) reins, I reckon the tensions came from her.
No other bass player in Magma's history locked so well with CV than Bubu (the fights with Jannick confirm this); if it was up to CV himself, Bussonnet would have remained on board.

Bubu's gone? Had no idea. Who's in now?
Calyx: I quite FB. What were the kinds of comments that were made?
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
Here are two new interviews with Christian Vander both with subtitles, and both pretty interesting. The one discussing Coltrane is really quite detailed and informative!

Tempting, might purchase...but not how I thought he'd look in a teddy.

An immense talent. Will listen to One Shot and some bootlegs of his period with Magma.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
I'm one of the 212.
RIP, James....

How sad !
I thought he was getting better.
A big big talent!
RIP
Crushing news! I knew that the course of glioma and astrocytoma is typically very poor, but enough time had passed for me to hold out hope- and I am so sorry that James is no longer with us! James' unflagging positivity and expressive style of playing remains in my heart and I will be playing that amazing solo from Kohtarksoz over and over today, the one where he simply tears the stage apart.
Tears!

Oh no!! Terrible news
I remember when I helped bring Magma to Chicago back in the nineties and I had the opportunity to chat with him. Such a nice, friendly guy...his main concern was to be pointed to the nearest "guitar store" just so he can look around, didnt need anything, he just wanted to look around.
RIP James!

If it ain't acousmatique-It's crap
RIP.
I know the mods tend to throw these things around but IMHO he deserves a dedicated RIP thread.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Very sad news. After the Magma concert in Victoriaville, Quebec, I got a chance to chat with him for awhile. Such a nice guy, with a great sense of humor. He was very happy to talk to us and ended up hanging out with a friend of mine, until the early hours of the morning.
And such a great guitarist, too. RIP James.

Oh, so sad.
Somehow I thought he was getting better, so sad.
I feel privileged to have a few chances to see him with Magma, and his legacy will live on, with Magma and with his 2 excellent solo albums.
Oh my. What a tremendous loss. RIP Mr MacGaw. Damn.
I think they mean La Fin Du Temples and Seven Indies (Someone Hears Your Prayers).

Man, what a talent. And such a wonderful human being. He was so happy to show my girlfriend and I photos of his children, when we got to chat with him.
