RIP Gary Richrath

[Sheik Yerbouti]

The lead guitarist from REO Speedwagon is gone. While I never was a big fan of the band, he was a monster player who got absorbed into that pop-crap REO pushed out in the late 70's early/mid 80's.

It looks like his health took a big swing downward with the weight gain, but he kept on playing

RIP Gary.

Back when he ripped it up with the best of them

They have a few tunes I enjoy, but for the most part I'm not a fan. A lot of musicians seem to be dying this year

 

[Drako]

Dude could not control his drinking, or eating for that matter. :\
