I was very sad to hear this news. I was a big fan of his work. Thunder and Lightning is one of my favorite albums. I also loved what he did with Blue Murder. Their first album is another favorite. RIP to a monster guitar player.
He was a breath of fresh air for that early 80’a metal, I agree. He kicked the Tygers into high gear with albums 2 and 3. The Lizzy album is his masterpiece though you’re right.
Blue Murder was a forgotten gem that i recently re-discovered....
> Blue Murder
Dang, I thought there was a reason that name sounded familiar. “In the Valley of the Kings” was one of my favorite Monday morning drive to work anthems...
