William Reid is a guitarist, composer and, at times, singer for the Scottish alternative rock band, The Jesus and Mary Chain. William, along with his brother Jim, the lead singer, formed the (at times unstable) core of the band. The early sound of The Jesus and Mary Chain (JAMC) was defined by Reid's extremely distorted and feedback laden hollowbody guitar work, often using the Shin-ei Companion WF-8 fuzz/wah box to get his unique sound, which verged on white noise.

  • William Reid is a guitarist, composer and, at times, singer for the Scottish alternative rock band, The Jesus and Mary Chain. William, along with his brother Jim, the lead singer, formed the (at times unstable) core of the band. The early sound of The Jesus and Mary Chain (JAMC) was defined by Reid's extremely distorted and feedback laden hollowbody guitar work, often using the Shin-ei Companion WF-8 fuzz/wah box to get his unique sound, which verged on white noise. Reid effectively ended the JAMC in late 1998, when he walked off stage fifteen minutes into a show at the House of Blues. After the band split up in 1999, Reid began performing solo under the name, Lazycame. Reid has also been involved in the production of the Sister Vanilla album, Little Pop Rock. The Jesus and Mary Chain reformed in early 2007, and have scheduled concert dates in the U.S. and throughout Europe.
