Really sad news. One of my great heroes. On with Hot for Teacher and raise a glass to a true guitar god.

Oh my God........numb !

i listened to live right here right now the other day for the revisiting albums thread. Only listened to disc 1, and was due to do disc 2 before posting a review.

Do 1984 instead. Let’s pay tribute to his zenith. Or just listen to Eruption and let your mind boggle at the sheer outrageous talent. I’m gutted.

 

[Paul]

I can't go past the first album, as good as it got

 

[sycophantia]

Only just read this, shit, only 3 years older than me, what a talent

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

He had been sick for a while. A huge loss.
RIP

I could buy a five grand guitar, a six grand amp set up and every effect known to man and still wouldn’t get the brown sound that he created with a home built beaten to shit Kramer, Marshall jubilee and basically a couple of MXR pedals.

RIP

I know he'd had a drink problem for a long long time, still doesn't soften the loss

 

[Jinky]

That’s incredibly sad news

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It is. It really is. I’m running out of living guitar heroes.

Eddie was a hero of mine (as a guitarist). He revolutionised rock guitar playing. Whilst he'll be remembered for tracks like Eruption and for the two-hand tapping, to me his rhythm guitar is what actually stood him apart from his peers.

He definitely had his fair sure of excesses and has been ill for a while now, but still sad to see him go.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Listen to Panama. Amazing rhythm playing on that. Epic riff. And then the solo shoots the lights out too. I’m really rather crestfallen. I thought saying goodbye to Lemmy was painful a few years ago but this is worse.

 

[Paul]

It's because they were an integral part of your life, it hits you so hard, and I think the shock of it !

RIP Johnny Nash, another reggae legend.
