I have no intention of constantly posting death notices but this was a surprise to me. Heard he died yesterday of prostate cancer age 64. This guy was a influence to me in that ,when I heard Rock Candy especially the first fills which were bends it left an indelible impression. That is one of my fav rock songs of all time.
Hard, sweet, and sticky.
Rock genius.
Stop filling the forums with death notices!!

Like others, I think Bad Motor Scooter was one of the first riffs I tried to tackle.
The Edgar Winter group too, sad…
