Gary Richrath Band - Golden Country -Part 2

[MrZr440]

It was always Gary's guitar that made REO. They are great today, but they owe it all to him.

[todnwen]

this is 21 years old, is Gary still playing today?

[tenndawg65]

REO sounds good now, but it'll never be the same without the original guys. Gary's playing is so distinct, and honestly kind of sloppy, but it totally works! Still a killer player. You're right. Kevin needs to hush up and get the 'band' back together before they start kicking off.

[Annabananag]

Things change, so did they, thank god for what they gave us.

[STEVELOVESMARIA]

If only Kevin would get off his ego trip and get Gary and Alan back. They would sell out everywhere.

[MsMeatloaf69]

garys life was one big long solo see you in rock n roll heaven

[MsMeatloaf69]

i never heard gary hit a bad note

[theshyguitarist]

Wow. This guy still has the stuff! Awesome playing!

[ExDemocrat64]

*That Kevin Cronin ought to be hung up by the nuts (if only he had any) for what he did to Gary.

[mcguinn99]

All I can think of is how sad this is. An REO cover band, that's all. This is an insult to REO Speedwagon and Gary Richrath!!!

[marcdell]

GARYYYYY !!!Some sick playing bro; Your the BEST! Reo is a joke without u~!

[bigbigjoel]

Weak.

Richrath should have stuck with Cronin.

[slct111]

REO was never the same without Gary.First saw them back in 1972 at a bar in St. Louis before they made it big. Miss seeing your guitar playing Gary.

[BECKNRON1]

Damn you guys get along about as well as Kevin & Gary use to!! Which in my opinion made for some damn good song writing!!  Get your pens out boys!!!

[janeway258]

Anybody know what Gary is up to now? Is he still playing?

[wayfarer63056]

Gary was one of the premiere and underrated guitar men of the 70's. I saw them when Luttrel, Murphy, and Cronin were alternating for the mic and of all of the three Cronin is the biggest poser and the least talented. I quit listening when he booted Gary. Kinda like when the Doobies took on McDonald. REO was one of the most kick ass rock and roll bands in that time. Too bad they lost the originals..Can't watch Skynyrd anymore for the same reason...alas..

[ryan4191]

Piss off... and imagine what REO would be if Cronin didn't stand up... REO would be dead and Gary would be dead... but, you probably don't know the story behind it...plus, Muphy has to be the worst of the the three, dumbass.

[wayfarer63056]

This coming from a monosyllabic wad who wasnt even born when REO was in their prime. Before you spout off, one should at least learn to spell the name of the previous band member whom is being denigrated..muphy sic. In fact I do know the story and more as I was in the service with several guys from that area who are still in contact with several of the guys..so as you said piss off. PS had Cronin not wrested the band they would have still had balls..

[ryan4191]

You're a bitch. I miss one letter, a common typing error, and that's what you target? Fuck you, man! And, despite the year I was born, I could own you with any facts you'd like. I've seen speedwagon 18 times in my life, and I know what kind of show cronin puts on. I miss the fuck out of Gary, yes, but Dave does a fair and excellent job. As for REO in general, I wouldn't have had a chance to see them in my lifetime had Kevin not been around. God knows they wouldn't have survived without him.

[wayfarer63056]

Look you little fuckwad leave me out of your delusional bullshit. We all have opinions and mine is mine. Send me one more letter you pathetic little fuck and I will see to it that you are banned. I doubt that you have any balls anyway as you call a male a bitch and have wasted who knows how much watching a band that is now on a par with Air Supply. When Neil decides to bail then REO will truly be a tribute band..Oh and Cronin is spelled with a capital C...asshole!

[ryan4191]

Prove yourself, you ignorant slut.

Also, what a total move of desperation... the only thing you have to criticize is my capitolization error. HA! You make me giggle. You're right on the Neal thing, though. I can see where you're going with that fact. However, I still disagree with you. Which, is MY opinion. As you have clearly stated, we're all entitled to them. So, see to it that I am banned... I couldn't begin to care less.

[ryan4191]

Also... maybe before you correct me, you should learn to use a little more punctuation. I could grammatically fix a ton of mistakes in your paragraph.

[RADKRAZY]

@ryan4191 REO Would have still been around. REO made Cronin more than Cronin made REO!

[baco62]

@RADKRAZY ...I agree but Gary looks a little chunky here...lol

Kevin needs to get him on a diet

[beowulven]

@baco62

Shut up, you.

[baco62]

@beowulven whats your problem?

[beowulven]

@baco62

About 30 extra pounds and a poor attitude. Sorry!

[BECKNRON1]

Damn you guys get along about as well as Kevin & Gary use to!! Which in my opinion made for some damn good song writing!! Get your pens out boys!!!

[ryan4191]

This made me laugh; I love you.

[BECKNRON1]

Look hack64 IIeduc1971 asked you very nicely to post more footage of Garys homecoming. NOW JUST DO IT!!! I will call Garys mom and she will ground you!!!  Ron

[ddonicht]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!!!!!!

[lleduc1971]

Please, please, Hack64, feel free to post the rest of your footage from this concert if you have it. That was spectacular.

Nobody plays guitar like Gary. Nobody plays as fast as Gary. Nobody plays as freaking great as Gary. Not even close. Not to my ears. When I die and go to heaven, instead of angels playing harps, it's going to be Gary ROCKING MY WORLD. Amen!

[RichrathRocks]

Gary is the ultimate Guitar Hero!!!

[veronicalovesgdr]

Gary Dean is such a gifted musician. So much talent!!! I miss him and his guitar. Thanks Ron for the video. I saw his band earlier that same year in Southern Illnois. Love that Richrath!

[2012231]

GARY IS A GUITAR GOD.
