@deanstephens594010 жыл бұрын
His drinking was getting out of hand and had been for some time.From what I have read he was becoming a bit too undependable and was showing up already half sloshed. They didn't want too but it was necessary to cut and replace him. The good news is that they are talking again and both Gary and Kevin would be open to do something together again if the other approached the subject. Stubborn pride on both sides. There is a vid on here where Gary returns and reunites with the guys for a couple of tunes. He looks like hell but he can still play the guitar like a mad man!
@deanstephens594010 жыл бұрын
***** Couldn't agree more Scott. The guitar and Gary have a bond it seems. The good news is that he has done a few 'impromptu" gigs with the boys and all are open to working with each other again. Gary is beating his personal demons. I only hope that he keeps on the right track and stays clean and serene. I hate to imagine a world without Garys riffs.

I think the Righteous Brothers said it best, if there's a rock and roll heaven, then you know we've got a hell of a band. Gary sure could make that les Paul talk like no one else could in the manner that he did. Gary you did it man, even though you were in question of yourself.

REO Speedwagon fire trucks were built in my hometown of Lansing, Michigan, which was lucky enough to have a visit from REO Speedwagon during the Tuna FIsh tour. The concert took place in the asbestos-laden Civic Center -- one of those old venues that held 10,000 people and had everything from rock concerts to revivals. Neither the REO plant or the Civic Center are around anymore and both spots are pretty barren. Roll with the changes, Lansing.

Today is Tues Nov 6, 2018. I'm an RN who 2 weeks ago had my 5th lumbar surgery, this one to stop pending paralysis. I'm not seeking sympathy- far worse things I'm a youthful 59. Music from these priceless musicians (and,sure, others too) are at the top of my list for pain control b4 & during recovery. They keep me rolling-- really. Their music takes me away from the tougher days. More importantly, their music takes me TO a sense of happiness, not to mention utter respect for their talent. I'm walking better and better, each day starting with phones (great sound) on my head, listening to healing talent. Sad to say, I've been a rare concert goer-never cut out that sorta "me" time. Would love to learn that I might still see REO, standing on two legs, smiling and shedding some tears. Sorry to ramble. Now a shower and off to vote. Brian Johnson.

Gary Richrath and Mick Taylor are my two favorite guitarists. They both produce such a beautiful sound.

RIchrath. What a clinic. How to construct a solo in segments, an absolute masterclass in lick exploration and placement.

I met Kevin Cronin in a mall in Port Richey Florida at Christmas Time 1985 when I had just gotten out of the Army. His wife's Family lived in the area and they were visiting. I thanked him for all their music as it saw me through some rough times, because back then we all had to roll with the changes to make it through.

These guys were so tight live! And they're all killing it on their respective instruments
