Gary Richrath... Damn!

[JohnnyGtar]

Damn!

For my money, Gary Richrath is one of the baddest motherfuckers on the planet to ever wield a Les Paul. What a fucking BEAST!

Raggedy, swaggering perfection. R.I.P. Gary.

This was one of the first albums I ever owned. REO used to be so bad ass.

Yeah, they were killer back when they were a hungry rock and roll band.

I saw them a few times back in the day. They're semi local. Or started out that way. Champagne, Ill. Saw them with Mama's Pride and Head East ( also both local bands, along with Pavlov's Dog) in the early 80s.

Gary was awesome, one of my 1st guitar heros.

Dude, they played at my foster Mom's high school graduation dance. I kid you not.

Yep. Said that up there. ^^^^^^

Hi Infidelity was like their Dynasty or Subdivisions. By that I mean it was the last album they made that had anything worth listening to on it. I didn't like it nearly as much as the earlier stuff.

Oh wow...missed that. That's how tired I am. I love most all of the old REO stuff but that album hit at a time when it was super popular at all the jr high dances and shit so it is more nostalgic for sure. Can't say I know much of any of their material after that album so yes - it was their Dynasty/Subdivisions.
