Early this morning Michael Griffen died. He was the violinist in Behead the Prophet No Lord Shall Live and played in the noise duo Noggin and many other projects along the way. His contribution to music was very significant as huge proponent of Improvised Noise. Michael encouraged anyone curious about music regardless of talent and got a lot of people started on a path to true creative expression. I am greatly thankful for my experience with Michael as an individual, as a fellow musician and to know his family who have been a family to me when I needed a one that accepted me for who I am without judgement. I am currently working on a documentary about Michael with a friend Peter Rand that hopefully will be completed within the next year. Much Love to you all, I know that Michael believed in Love, - Jordan Rain

Sorry to hear about this... I never got to see you live, but the videos that I have seen were energetic and insane, and I remember Michael being at the center of that insanity with the rest of the band. I am sorry for your loss. Brad

Do you know anyone that has any video footage of Behead the Prophet No Lord Shall Live? I could really use it for the Michael Griffin Documentary. Please let me know, thanks- Jordan Rain (drummer for BTPNLSL)

i'm saddened to hear of michael's passing. i only had 3 days with you guys back over 10 years ago now, but he left a fantastic impression on me. also the first man over the age of 50 to have playing violin on my shoulders as i ran under his legs and picked him up in the middle of your set, ha. btpnlsl had an energy that went beyond what any of us knew as punk rock and very much influenced how i went about doing things throughout my 20's, even long after i stopped playing music. i hope everybody is doing well aside from this loss and i'll play your record today to keep him in my thoughts.

deepest regards,
brian montuori, ex-so i had to shoot him.
