Man, I knew Gary wore some fairly tight pants back then, but whoa! That's between you, God, and Gary! I apologize ever so slightly for my 3:50 A.M. humor. But...
Thanks for info, Kathy. I might add during the verse, it's important to let high open e string drone to really get into the groove of the song, through a...
Is she still bigger than Jesus these days? Or did Jesus' overwhelm the Beatles and the Beatles' drama in longevity? I wonder. I believe in Beatles... And...

The walls started being built between Gary and Kevin when, instead of rallying around Gary during a time of crisis, Kevin took advantage of the situation in...
Isn't it funny how human behavior perpetuates the dysfunction, the drama? Out of what? What kind of need dictates tearing the purity down, of the original? The...

Todd, I'm pretty sure Gary got booted AFTER Alan left. But I agree with you on everything else. ... Neal basically turned his head the other way. He probably...
Coolness....... but one important factor that's *always* left out in Tabs is the technique factor. Any two guitarists can play the same notes... The true...

"It's time we challenge our listeners! Plenty of stations will give you 'Can't Fight this Feeling' by REO Speedwagon, but how many will play 'Unidentified...
Ehhh??? Flying Turkey Trot is a stretch.... but still is a great instrumental tune that should get airplay...(never really has.... probably never will.) Out...

Sounds to me like if any of you are attending the current lineup's concerts, then perhaps you're supporting them financially, or giving them incentive to play...

True... As a stand-alone, you couldn't pay me to go see REO... [Well, maybe if the pay was good enough.... :) ] The only show I've seen the "Gary-less REO"...

I wish more stations would do this. The local "CLASSUCK ROCK" station here plays the same handful of songs day after day after day. ...And, it's from the...
David is right - radio stations are SO annoying that way. There are a couple here in Raleigh that will play KOLY or TIOTR or CFTF, but that's about all. They...
Cutoff, "Golden Country"? Off with their heads! Just pickin'. I do know what you mean, though. The local station here refuses to play the full length...
What I think you all might be trying to say, is that "Size doesn't really matter." Right? Okay, I should go now... ;) ... From: Christina...

Finally, somebody gets it! This is why REO ceased to exist to me after 1989. Everyone can say it's about the music and honoring what the band has accomplished...
I do try to get "it" as much as possible, Nancy... Umm, I mean... "Make sense." All kidding aside (because I really don't try), having witnessed my brother's...

Food for thought about Cronin: 1) I'd never give a squirrely guy like that my phone number. 2) After the contemptible way he treated Gary, I really don't have ...
Michael the "southern country-boy" has said a good mouthful. I have heard the same compliments about Dave Amato. However, REO is nowhere near the same band as...
Plenty of slacker guitarists have opportunities, and they never pan out. Amato played Nugent's '85-'86 "If You Can't Lick 'Em" tour, then promptly got canned. ...
Styx naturally made more of an effort to work things out. On the other hand, there's not a scrap of evidence that Cronin tried to work ANYTHING out with...
