Juanma Suárez

On 9 October 1992 Juanma Suárez died in Santurce of a heart attack and resulting complications. He was 30. He was buried a short distance from his long-time friend Iosu Expósito.

Juanma was a sexually active person, but was negligent with his health, he smoked, drank alcohol and took amphetamines. As early as the 1980s was said to be "un kamikaze del pastilleo" (kamikaze of drugs). Suffered from a case of endocarditis that nearly killed him in 1985, when he chose to treat himself with analgesics instead of seeking the advice of a doctor. Another serious hospitalization was at the early 1985. In 1988 his addiction to drugs became more complicated. He was frequently spotted on his white mobylette, working temporally to get money for heroin. His relationship with Iosu broke down during that period, although among them were never held distances.

Juanma mainly played a Westone Thunder 1A Bass to the late 1980s, he occasionally used a Fender Jazz Bass to the early 1990s. His playing style uses both pick and fingers, although he played mostly with picks.

Juan Manuel Suárez Fernández (11 July 1962 – 9 October 1992) also known by Juanma Suárez was a Spanish punk rock bassist and singer, founder and member of one of the most influential Spanish punk rock bands, Eskorbuto, since 1980 to 1992. With Iosu Expósito founded a previous band called Sección Mortuoria (Spanish for Mortuary Section), then Muñecas de Acero (Spanish for Steel Dolls). His friend, Roberto Moso (leader and singer of Zarama), gave them the nickname "Eskorbuto" (scurvy in Spanish) for their scrawny look. He is widely considered an icon of Spanish punk.
