I don't know about the rest of his band but are the bassist and 2nd guitarist the same as who used to be with him years ago? did he even have a 2nd guitarist?
billy was just a true rock god, amazingly talented and taken waaaaay to young, such a sad loss to the world off music, one hell off a guitarist also, if there is a afterlife, he would be running amuck up !!!!
what a talent. i'm sorry i just "discovered" him. too bad he wasn't big in the us...he should have been. by his stage persona he seemed to be a real decent sort. the saddest part is to learn of him after his passing. god bless you billy
having seen billy thorpe many times in over 40 yrs i was never ever amazed just a great singer and showman.now delta kylie et al real musos and real people dont worry about or care for them onmly the plastic disposabler people do.there loss they missed a legend
It frustrates me how the mainstream media and music programs have their favourites and shove it down our throats, like we have to like it!! These IDOL clones just don't do it for me! plus I'm sick and tired of these sports stars, actor's & puppet celebrity's thinking their the 'Rock Stars' now! Leave it to the musicians who are the 'REAL STARS' and have the 'REAL TALENT'!!!!
@Champane97 Could not agree more.......to think these Rapper`s think that they have "talent" what a joke ! it`s sad that music has degenerated to such crap......very frightening to think that the other legends will to also be gone one day.......long live AC/DC
I still think it hasn't hit home yet of how much of a massive loss Billy Thorpe and his close mate Lobby Loyde is to the music landscape in Australia. With the overexposed of "Our" Delta, "Our" Kylie, "Our" Nicole or more like "Our Crap"! the music scene (in particularly the 'live' scene!) in Australia is at it's crossroads!!!! In the past it was always Billy or Barneys that got it going again.
I hope this was on the NRL Footy Show - it does not belong on the AFL version - this is a League song!!!
