Can you remember watching suede live, do you remember the man sitting at the back playing the drums?...probably not as you were all screaming at Neil!
well it was Simon (Neils cousin to you)
poor simon now endures a life in the shadow of his cousin neil.Yes Neil, the one who plays just one note and writes such awful songs as duchess and digging a hole!Simon deserves more recognition for his achievements,he the man who holds suede together with his passionate drumming.the man is a genious!Just listen to the introduction to the drowners,which we approperatly named our page after.
Many people laugh at his pink hair, but it is simply a reflection of his intricate personality.Simon the happyest member of Suede is now recording the next suede album along with the other members of the band.We do realise the importance of the other members of the band as without them we could not fully apprechiate Simons imput(huuum..as it would just be a drum beat!!!)

He was quoted to have said:

"i'm a bisexual man whoes never had a hetrosexual expierience"
the last Quote was spoken a couple of monthes after Bretts you Know what speech, yet this quote has never really caught on.
Disappointing as it is ,Simon has only ever co written one song,Feel.It was written with his co-members and isn't exactly legendary.
Here is a picture of that so called god Neil,who only appears on this page as hes Simons cousin,we think hes very ugly.
