Great drummer. Played with the Plugz, Cruzados, Social Disortion, Izzy Stradlin and Bob Dylan among others.
A great drummer for some really kick ass bands has left us. Plugz, Social D Drummer Charlie Quintana Dies in Mysterious Circumstances in Mexico
Thank you for this thread. A great musician with technic, style and a very special good taste for music. His work with Agent Orange then Social Distortion are my favorites but he was great in everything he did.
I saw him in August of 1992 with Bob Dylan, eight years after appearing with Dylan on Letterman. Had that Cruzados record. RIP.
Got a uneasy feeling it was self-inflicted, judging by the reporting, which stated he was in a bad mental state.
A great drummer with an amazingly diverse resume. Hard to think of any musician who played a with a wider variety of artists/styles.
R.I.P. Saw him with Social D and this is the kick in the pants I need to collect more Plugz and related ephemera. I have the Repo Man soundtrack and some rips of their singles but none of the full lengths. He was definitely a great drummer. Plugz, Achin
I love his playing on the Izzy and the Ju Ju Hounds record. It's too bad that band didn't stay together longer. They were really great.
