DAMN!

RIP Gary

The Moses Malone death is a hard hitter. I liked him as a player. My daughter nickname is Mosie, so naturally we called her Mosie Malone.

RIP Gary. Love REO.

RIP Moses.

[Panoptes]

RIP Gary.

I've seen REO 3x in my life. First time in late 80's, last time about 2 years ago. I've only seen the current guitarist, Dave Amato play. I recently called him one of the 3 most underrated live guitarists today.

He FN shreds.

I'd heard that, a friend told me.

----------------------------------------I've seen them three times as well. Thought the same.

[YT]

I've seen them 3x as well. Twice with Richrath. Agreed on Amato...he's a kickass guitar player

Saw REO 1978, Rose Arena at CMU. "Gary's Guitar Solo" is a great instrumental.

REO Speedwagon is a band I did really like whom I never got an opportunity live, most of my favourite bands of that era I got to see....sooner or later.

[CGVT]

They got so fucking sappy (the same as some other bands of that era). That fucking Tuna Fish album was unlistenable pap.

[YT]

...That fucking Tuna Fish album was unlistenable pap.

Disagree!

That was the last decent rockin' album they did before "selling out"

[CGVT]

Oh Gawd. That album was horrid.

[CGVT]

That's rockin' right there...
