Keith Alexander (born Keith Alexander Bonanno; November 23, 1963[1] – July 11, 2005) was an American guitarist.
Career
Alexander was the guitarist for the thrash metal band Carnivore, on whose first album he played. He then joined Brooklyn-based band Primal Scream co-writing and recording their 1987 album Volume One.[2]
During the late 1990s he was a member of Dee Snider's SMFs and part of the lineup that recorded the 1997 Twisted Forever – SMFs Live album. Alexander also worked as a talent finder, though he was technically credited as "piercing consultant"[3] on Snider's movie 1998 movie Strangeland.[4] To save money on special effects and for a sense of reality in appearance, Alexander looked in the body modification community for extras, who were modded for some roles.
In the 2000s, he became a somewhat well known blogger, being associated with blogs such as BrooklynVegan and Boing Boing.[5]
Death
Alexander died in a cycling accident on July 11, 2005. He lost control of his bike while passing a child and crashed into a fence on Shore Road, in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. It was reported that had he been wearing a helmet he would likely have survived.[6][7] Alexander's website, nootrope.net, still exists at archive.org.[8] Regarding his death, he states:
