Walton Goggins Lifts the Lid on His Mysterious Fallout Anti-Hero

One of the first, and arguably still most, intriguing things about Amazon’s Fallout adaptation was the news that Walton Goggins would appear in the series—with the intrigue doubled further when that news was paired with the fact he’d be playing a noseless, peeling, irradiated creature known as a Ghoul.

And for a certain kind of guitarist – like me – he was a fountainhead for an entirely new era to come.I struggle to think of a player before Verlaine who synthesised the same range of influences – early Stones stomp and sneer, angular Ayler-isms,…
