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.

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!🙂

REO Speedwagon did 6 big and successful Sold Out Concerts in my country Venezuela!!!, and I was there at those REO concerts, and it is the biggest emotion of my life!!, and that is thanks to The Power Ballads!! of Kevin Cronin' even if Gary Richrath Fans don't like it! BTW Gary Richrath is The Best Guitar Leader I have ever heard in My Life!!, and I was also able to see it thanks to the fact that they became famous worldwide for their Power Ballads...

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.

@Shorline Hey REO Fan! what are you talking about?? Obviously this is an unofficial page about REO Speedwagon monitored by a big REO Speedwagon fan who has been doing this same thing since 2008 and started uploading REO Speedwagon videos to KZbin! Put on your glasses so you can see well, The Official has a verification from youtube! that everyone knows, that this one doesn't have, what is your problem with that, are you envious of my work, this channel is not monetized, I do everything out of love and passion for REO Speedwagon, why so much hate, Peace Love and Rock' n Roll, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year My REO friend and change that attitude! Keep Rockin'

Kevin Cronin' is the undisputed Leader of REO Speedwagon!!, He is the one who has always had the last word!!, and He has also written half of the band's songs including The Greatest Global Hits Keep On Loving You and Can't Fight This Feeling and that no one can deny, Kevin have been their singer for the last 52 years, minus 3 years that Kevin also left the band due to differences with Gary Richrath (R.I.P.)...Please Subscribe!!...Keep Rockin'

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.

"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

I think other bands shouldn't put there problems onto other bands it kind of makes the bands thats our having problems to pick and choose who friends with who and not having oh you like these guy's but the singer doesn't like certain people in his own group but putting others into your problems with other band it kinda puts other band on the spot because other bands don't want to say anything bad about the other band members

Cronin has lost the plot completely, he's destroyed what was REO Speedwagon. Bruce Hall is REO end off
@REOspeedwagon-e1y4 күн бұрын
Well, I think you're right! REO Is Gone!, because Kevin himself said that he is going to continue singing but under his name and he is not going to use the name of the band because by vote of the founding members that still remain, such as Kevin, Neal and Bruce, it was decided to put end to the band, I mean it wasn't just Kevin's decision, but Bruce and Neal also cast their votes as I understand it, so I don't understand why so much hate against Kevin! If it was a decision of 3 members who own the brand REO name!!, as I understand it, I don't know much about this, just that someone said it was like that, I don't know if it's true but it makes a lot of sense. BTW, if this were true, I would have liked Brayn and Dave to also cast their votes because they are an important part of the band from 1989 to today.!! Keep Rockin'

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!

Time to hang it up Kevin. You are done. There is no REO period anymore. You are a cover band. Oh, you also don’t sound near as good as you did back in the 70’s/80’s. Now strictly a money grab! What a shame👎👎

Cronin nor Shaw should be able to use the bands names. Both are replacements and they should be out doing solo shows or in Shaws case, Shaw/Young. Almost as bad as Foriegner selling tickets with no one left from the original or even glory days left. I can see tribute bands who are just as good for free.
