Brotherhood??? KC, Where's Bruce, ain't no brotherhood going on here

Do u know what year this was??

Def Leppard waited for a new "one armed" drummer to recover and rejoin the band!!!! THIS GUY IS AN EGOMANIAC!! I WAS a huge fan of REO and went to about 8-9 local concerts. I will NEVER listen to one of their songs again!!!!! Screw you Kevin Cronin!!! Because your voice ain't what it used to be!!!!!

Happy New Year!!! 2025!! to all the REO Fans!! who watched this video!, and especially to those who commented!!, I wish you the best in this new year 2025, please Subscribe!, Comment!, Like!, and share!, thank you very much for making this video viral!!!

People who never were privy to anything going on behind the scenes are issuing opinions on REO blaming Kevin for everything involving Bruce Hall. In short, they don’t know what they are talking about. Kevin at age 73 after 50 years of REO wants to play with another bassist other than Bruce. I got news for you geniuses which is that many are in their 70’s and 80’s and your not that far away from eating apple sauce in an old folks home so being concerned with a bass player in a rock band for 47 who has back problems is the least of what you should be focusing on.

Call it Oreo Speedwagon

I remember REO being in a theatre I tech in not long ago and Bruce was playing. I was standing on upstage right waiting to fly the drop in at the top of the show when Bruce walked onto the stage to play. It was a fantastic show. I didn't see hear any issues with him playing. I believe Gary would still be in the band if not for Kevin. I know the band voted him out for being drunk too much, at least that is what I read. He could have and should have been saved and wait for him to recover. Play with another hired gun but give the guy a chance to get clean. Look what DEf Leppard for their drummer. Cmon, a bit of alcoholism is nothing like a drummer getting his arm ripped off while was drunk and reckless. He was their Bother. they stood by him. Kevin is wrong.

Kevin,your bullshit!!!

Kevin Cronin has always been in love with himself.

Kevin u should totally be able to call the band REO Speedwagon... bro I'm on your side ! You're a beautiful person 💞

Fun fact: While working, I once opened up a private rehearsal room door that belonged to Reo. The band sat semi-huddled in the room, turned around, and gave me the biggest wtf? Dea'th stare ever! All at the same time! I said "sorry guys" and gently closed the door. I'll just never forget how angry they were. Like seething angry!🫣 I love Reo Speedwagon Always have!🙂

Tommy Shaw band stealer extrordinaire. Three tribute bands on the bill.

Kevin needs to deflate the ego

This Guy is a BUM. REO WAS EVERYBODY BUT HIM!

Sparkles

People want to bash Cronin but Hall and Dougherty both collected paychecks while Cronin did the work. But Kevin you have to say it. Otherwise you are the bad guy.

Thank you reo speedwagon

Kevin talks too much. The last time I saw REO Kevin spent too much time telling stories.

So a full on cover band now.

This is a fake REO Speedwagon page and not official. Report to KZbin!

I met the chick on the cover of High Infidelity. A friend of mine. True story.

do you ever read the comments people ask???fck no you don't you say the same damn thing to the questions!!!kshe radio sucks!!

Oh Kevin just as well response as a Rock n Roll Legend Kevin and why kick The Legendary Gary Richrath when he’s gone by stating the Song😢Gary and You wrote will have more energy and I am a Very Longtime REO Speedwagon Fan buying many Albums and have gone to many REO Speedwagon concerts and Absolutely REO Speedwagon is a RRHOF Member as is Styx and if someone had ever created a True RRHOF instead of this version that is more Rolling Stone Magazine Avards show them REO and Styx would have been in for Decades! So now when Band is Elected in to RRHOF will it be like Guns and Roses and main Lead Singer doesn’t think enough of Fans to show up! I am such a Music Fan it really saved me having to be in and out of Hospitals and Doctors Offices and in 1977 was diagnosed with a Major illness and had to have major surgery at age 15 years my Nurses and anyone knows me Rock Music was my Escape and when I recovered enough my oldest Brother took me to my first concert Head East and that was my Go button and since 1977 I have now been to 702 concerts and the Greatest Music of all times late 70s to early 80s Classic Rock Music! On m in your social pages and all Family and Friends know I am a Fan waving the Rock Banner and sharing this Amazing Music with my Daughter and anyone I know and the last few years watching KZbin Reaction videos and seeing young people hearing the Greatest Bands like REO ai I see in them how it felt. Oh and this post Summer first waiting in Dallas Tx to see REO Speedwagon and then was going to go to Houston Tx and take my Daughter and Wife to see REO but there was a cancellation due to The lead Singer having health issues and thinking no way will REO Speedwagon would not come back to such major Fan Base Cities but what now Kevin we deserve make up REO Speedwagon concerts in Texas not a Band that has a former lead singer of REO . I have been a concert’s with Major Bands where a member had to be seated in order to play because injuries or surgery’s and I had no problem with that Happy they were there Red Hot Chilly Peppers, GN&R and a couple more so even if Bruce Hall is in a chair whole show then a chance Back on The Road will be included. I have been wanting to hear what Kevin C. and maybe You should have had Your Beautiful Daughter make statement instead of trying to tell a Longtime Fan who since 81 saw many REO concerts and dismissing my Favorite times of seeing Band and to promote new solo Band as playing Iconic Kevin and Gary Songs will be played with more energy Please Kevin don’t take cues from David Lee Roth. REO Speedwagon is a Family all this mess can only come from clueless Management!

Screw you Kevin Cronin! You did this dont deflect your shit on Bruce.

REO Speedwagon died the day Gary Richrath left the band.

I’m very disappointed to hear that Stix is hooking up with REO! I thought Tommy would be better than that. Tommy has lost me as a fan!!!

Don’t want to hear anymore of your BS, Kevin. REO hasn’t been the same since you booted Gary out. You disgust me Kevin 😡

Not a single person in the audience will know

Cronin’s voice is shot. A shell of what he was. There comes a time for everyone, but his has long passed. Not trying to be mean, it just is what it is.

Cronin has got Shit for Brains. Throwing your Rock Bros under the Bus. Improving as a Musician, what a Joke. What a way to Flush a Career down the Toilet.

Cronin has lost the plot completely, he's destroyed what was REO Speedwagon. Bruce Hall is REO end off

They all forgot where they came from. Very sad all around

REO story is very similar to Styx. Larry was only going to sub for DDY until DDY recovered. Then they started the smear campaign on DDY. He made them lots of money.

"I'm improving as a musician and I need to be surrounded by a band where everyone else feels the same way." So, Matt B. is a better player than Bruce - so Kevin is wanting to tour with him instead of Bruce? Kevin's voice has been shot for decades but no one tried to run his tired vocal cords out of REO. So, Neal and Bruce outvoted him and now he's going solo. Yawn. He now joins Tommy Shaw on the "we ran bandmates we didn't like out of our respective groups" tour . . . and are joined by Don 'the Eagles effed me up, too, so I can relate" Felder. :) It'll probably be quite an entertaining show because these guys all have a jillion hits between them. But watching these 70-somethings snipe at each other sounds more like something for Bravo than AXS. #PagingAndyCohen

It was time

Two Cassettes that played on the Boombox tied to the handlebars of my BMX bicycle in the 80's. REO Speedwagon You Get What You Play For and Tom Petty Damn the Torpedos. Thank You for all the great music

Cronin's ballads killed the REO i knew & love. That one reason Gary left. Tommy Shaw is solid gold and one of the most taleted MoFo's on the planet.

REO was over when Gary Richrath left. Styx was over when Dennis was ousted.

KC's solo band going forward is a 'cover' band. Perhaps a very good cover band, but just a cover band nonetheless. It's not just a matter of not legally having access to the name anymore....It's not REO.

Shame on you Kevin. If he worked all those years with the pain and finally had to have surgery and you didn’t support him shame on you.

So Kevin kicks Bruce out of the band, then doesn’t appreciate it getting out to the public. He would have preferred Bruce keep it private. Yeah, ok chief. Got it. 🤣

"I've never heard mine or Gary Richraf' songs played like this" Really bro? When Gary Richraf actually played them???

KC is full of monkey dung…. May he never see the $$$ he thinks he’s going to see. He definitely won’t be getting my $$$.

Very disappointed with you Kevin. You don't throw your band brothers under the bus for more money. Shame on you. You'll live to regret doing Bruce bad.

Saw REO in 73 or 74 and they rocked their butts off , awesome show ; then they started to play ballads to make money and became regular bullshit band .

I'm thinking the bottom line is about money... how much and to whom.

Gary Dean Richrath is and was REO Speedwagon

Kevin pulled a fast one on Gary, Kevin pulled a fast one on Bruce---he won't due it to Neal!
