That's crazy!
I did just the exact same thing a few weeks ago, went looking online about him

Seems like a very gifted songwriter.
I found him via Andy McCoy/Hanoi Rocks. It is truly insane the amount of (good, very good and great) music connected to Andy and Hanoi (including, of course indirectly, GN'R)
You probably know that Rene was in Hanoi Rocks for a very short time in 1985. They recorded some cool demos with René, but the band was falling apart and apparently they didn't like him so that was over fast.
But the real fun begins when Rene and Nasty Suicide (from Hanoi) formed West End Central -- soon renamed to "Soho Vultures" (as you probably read on the "Remembering" piece)
I just found out about Soho Vultures about a month ago. Hard to find their music online, they never released a full album officially. I found these nice demos = https://nikart2018.blogspot.com/2020/01/soho-vultures-1987-demos.html
Then Rene Berg recorded his solo album with Soho Vultures songs and more. Also hard to find. Here it is with some bonus= https://nikart2018.blogspot.com/2021/06/1992-rene-berg-leather-loneliness-and.html

They are well known by a certain rock crowd here in Greece (most of the uploads of songs by them on youtube are by Greeksludurigan wrote:

There was an indie label here in the '80s and '90s that signed local bands, but also imported albums from various indie labels around the world, including Australia. This one was even played at some rock clubs.

I watched the Elvis movie. Not as great as I expected it to be based on the reviews, but quite good.

Oddly enough, I first became familiar with this song through Nick Cave's rendition back in the '80s.

Re: The 'What are you listening to?' thread
it took me a few weeks to enjoy this song but now it keeps growing on me, i love when it happens
it was only when I started to enjoy the song that I decided to read online about it and was very surprised to find that this is actually a cover from a motown song by diana ross and marvin gaye!

This is a funny one, Brazilian rocker Supla doing a very ramonic punk cover of a Harry Styles song

pretty crazy how software (?) for isolating vocals and musical instruments has gone a long way
you tube has been flooded by "instrumental" versions of songs

For the nerds out there: amusing satire of Wlecome to the Jungle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUpYPvYADS8
Theme of the video: GN’R guitar-god Slash shows up for his first (and last) day of work as a university administrator.

After reading the Ian Hunter/GNR/Mick Ronson/Great White post I have added this song to my playlist and now a few weeks later I can tell that I like it
I hope GN'R has rehearsed this and I hope that someone has recorded such rehearsal, even though this seems really unlikely

Re: The 'What are you listening to?' thread
Youtube is such a great place to find music. With an addblocker on your PC, YT is almost perfect! You have access to basically the entire catalog of music ever officially released in the planet, plus a lot of unreleased/unnoficial stuff like demos and live recordings, and now there is this AI thing taking over... It looks like we should have "AIXL" singing more stuff than we will ever have time to listen to in the near future... Now back to discovering "new" music... I am aware that this song is not new but -- despite liking the pet shop boys and being quite familiar with their hits -- I was not aware of it until about a week ago when I "found" it on YT. I just love it now!

This song just popped on my playlist the other day and I couldn't recognize who it was at first. Cool song. I would love if Axl, Slash, Izzy and the Not Satan guy were writing and releasing new, mellower, easy songs like this. They could do one album like this every six months if they wanted to

Phil Lynott has a lot of different demos and studio recordings and live versions for this song and I love each and every one of them. This one is a very basic one done with drum machine but Phil is capable of adding enough drama and groove to it to make it sound nice. The drum machine reminds me of the "west arkeen" tape. Given the info we have so far it is pretty obvious that the GNR guys tracked a lot of stuff using drum machines but none of that is in circulation so we only have the "west arkeen" tape so far...
