Way before Def Leppard there was this band called the Outfield that i used be crazy about here,they had a guitar player here in the band.His name was John Spinks.I used have a major crush on him here that was back in my earlier days.

R.I.P John Spinks (Nov 28, 1953 - July 9, 2014)

[@ethansancti2864]

There is a real sense of sadness knowing that musicians you follow when you were in your teens are leaving us one by one. A mixture of feeling that those days are just distant memories and you are also about to fade away.

[@LindensBloodyJersey]

One of the most underrated songwriters of the 80s era. His stuff is timeless and still holds up today in 2019. Rip John, a true legend.

[@patsyjones1454]

Totally agree

[@juliesanregret]

This is absolutely heartfelt my dear. Xoxoxo

[@deucesolo]

Love John's playing and sound, just brilliant. I saw the Outfield in 1987 Texas. Man John is a tall mf'er!

[@kimpossiblemonacelli1276]

I can’t believe how HAUNTING this song is, it is wonderful💕 I just thought you should know‼️ What a tribute, John would be smiling

[@ronmazza6833]

The Outfield was incredible!! As a pro musician, Play Deep is one of the best produced albums ever. Great songs, great sound, great guys. Love this band forever.

[@markkeegan7535]

Had the pleasure of catching the Outfield in concert touring on the Play Deep album. They were opening for Starship but went to see the Outfield. The exceeded expectations.

[@cgsonic1968]

Same here. I cached them during spring break tour in 1986 along with Starship.

Hola. Siento Mucho de esa gran Pérdida. Paz a su Alma. Desde la Ciudad de Panamá

[@MarcosVinicius-ds1ji]

Tank you John Spinks 🔰Br

[@KeithGrommes]

Absolutely amazing tribute. So impressive and I love the delay / reverb effects. John would really appreciate this. I’ve always loved The Outfield. They’ve been a huge influence on my playing. Do you by chance know Jon’s rig rundown and how to get his sound?

[@stillinlimbomusic]

Thanks for your excellent comment/support. Not sure of John's rig although it most likely evolved over time. Might be able to figure it out through photographs from over the years. all the best to you!

[@localdetroitidiot2662]

All the songs that I have are because of John and tony the death of just hurts

[@stillinlimbomusic]

deeply hurts

[@LauraMartinez-rj4fx]

Fue un gran guitarrista

[@defaultytuser]

Terrific song, do you have any social media channels to check out more?

[@defaultytuser]

Nevermind, surprisingly searching "Still in Limbo" on Spotify led me to your EP haha. Great stuff!

[@stillinlimbomusic]

@@defaultytuser thanks!

[@hdmat101]

Now Tony's gone

[@michaeldavis2585]

Dig the music behind the video

[@MrN2hendrix]

Do you ever think the outfield will tour again???

[@susiejane9226]

There is no Outfield now 😢

[@michaeldavis2585]

Video honestly it's pretty sad how we spend our whole life living just to die

[@lyricmannixon1793]

i am scared everyday of dying . this band was the ruler of my teen years . its not fair . i cant believe they are gone . im 50 and a fan to my last day on earth .

[@jenniferguigou2204]

what is the song of the video?

[@stillinlimbomusic]

It is a song I wrote after John passed away. I wrote it about losing loved ones, I thought of John during the writing process. I have been a fan of The Outfield since '86 when Play Deep hit the airwaves. I have been a devoted fan ever since. The song is called "Of the same heart" by me Still in Limbo.

[@HERNANFERNANDEZMD]

Beautiful song for a beautiful soul!!

[@JonathanLopez-sk7ty]

@@stillinlimbomusic Wow! What a great song to pay tribute to the great guitarist and songwriter. The Outfield were great but this music rocks! You have great talent my friend!

[@stillinlimbomusic]

Thanks @Hernan Fernandez !

[@stillinlimbomusic]

Much appreciated @Jonathan Lopez Thank-you!
