Herman Brood (Zwolle, November 5, 1946 – Amsterdam, July 11, 2001) was a Dutch musician, painter and media personality. Brood was the Dutch personification of sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll.
After playing piano in Cuby and the Blizzards and several other bands since 1964, Brood started his own group, Herman Brood & His Wild Romance, in 1977. The band had their first hit single, Saturday Night, in 1978. But even more than his music, it was his outspoken statements in the press about sex and drug use that brought Herman Brood into the public arena in the Netherlands. In the early 1980s he was romantically involved with the German artist Nina Hagen, with whom he appeared in the film Cha Cha. Brood relished the media attention and became the most famous hard drug user in the Netherlands. “It is usual that an artist uses drugs, but tells everybody he doesn’t”, he once said in an interview. “I admit that it scared me that my popularity could make people start using drugs.” In the 1990s he took up painting and became as successful as a painter as he was as a musician.
With the band ‘Herman Brood & His Wild Romance’ he made his best known album ‘Shpritsz’ (a play on the German word for injection needle), containing anti-drug use songs like ‘
Dope Sucks’, but also ‘Saturday Night’. Brood swore off most drugs, reducing his drug use to alcohol and a daily shot of speed.

" GET YOUR TAGS RIGHT! Herman Brood’s studio albums are under the artist ‘name Herman Brood & His Wild Romance’ " = not completely true; is the release "1977-1997: 20 Years of Rock & Roll (2 cd's)" considered a "studio-album"? The CD is a compilation of songs which also includes studio tracks. ... --> So, ... I think I managed to find out 'how it should be done' / the way it ought to be scrobbled properly --> check my library ... I had to do a few minor corrections here and there, so, eventually it ended up being a mix of how it was on the actual data from the CD (when I put the CD in my computer and my player identifies the CD and gives all the info) AND how it is according to the database of Last.fm... (so for example the song "Als je wint heb je vrienden", is scrobbled as "Herman Brood" and not as "Herman Brood & Henny Vrienten" as I had it before, I changed that; making the song "50 Jaar", which is also on that release, the only song scrobbled as "Herman Brood & Henny Vrienten" ...

It's most possible that Holland will never get a talent as Brood was, it's too bad that he's gone altough there was always a slight possibility that Herman would leave this earth premature

A classic rock 'n' roller that really can keep up with the best easily. I realise that everytime I hear something of him. Such good songs, there are almost no bad ones among them. He kept it simple, but perfect. Rest in Peace, friend.
