You two are absolutely right. That's the part of this whole story that REALLY bothers me. Kevin would not be the first person who developed some sort of...
Todd, Boy are you right as well! Alan leaving was almost the time Gary was booted, just a little later. As I read earlier, Alan was fed up with Kevin's games!...

Thanks to Jeff for the heads up on this article about REO & Gary in the Illinois Entertainer. It's very enlightening.... -- Kathy ...
I had an interesting conversation with my girlfriend on the way back from the beach on Sunday. She's an old "REO Journey-Wagon" fan just like many of us. We...
The 'Good Trouble' album: Gary's guitar playing saved that album's ass! He is just one of the most gifted guitarists ever. Unlike some of the people of the...
Great article! Thanks so much for posting this. You're right, it is enlightening. : ) ... the Illinois Entertainer. It's very enlightening.... -- Kathy...
Sasha/Lindsay is a 13 year old girl who wasn't even born when Gary was in the band. How could she possibly know the first thing about Gary Richrath? Nuff said!...
Cronin's acknowledgement that REO Speedwagon was "Gary's baby" is the most intelligent thing he's said in 50 years. ... of REO Speedwagon for that long. It was...
Yes, finally a ray of truth shines through all the self-justification! But the sentence before it about Gary "...stayed away from REO" for so long: Kevin, my...
If lightning strikes and REO has a shot at the Hall of Fame, who gets in? Gary Richrath and the famous REO line up that produced the hits? Or Amato and Hitt,...
That's a great hypothetical question, Theo! Okay, I try not to blatantly disrespect Dave Amato because he is the "here and now" of REO Speedwagon and he is a...
I agree that the best thing about the Good Trouble album was Gary. Obviously his guitar playing was great. But he also wrote the best song on there,...
Cronin's constant exaggeration is amusing. I really wonder if that guy even knows what the truth is. Here he is, using the proverbial "we" in this interview to...
You and Christina are absolutely right. Gary did save that album and SOTN is the best song on it, just ahead of I'll Follow You. My girlfriend basically said...
Hey Razzi, that's because she's got a teenage crush and is in love with Dave. She doesn't give a rats butt about Gary, because she wasn't even born when Gary...

I think I remember reading in Alan's interview that Alan left before Gary. As I recall, Alan said that out of everyone in the band, Gary took it the hardest...
Alan also said being cooped up in a windowless room with Cronin for 6 months while KC nitpicked his 2,000th version of drums for "In My Dreams" drove him nuts,...
Back in high school, I had the biggest crush on Gary! I am glad to have seen Gary in my lifetime when he was touring. To me, he still is the Guitar God....
Stillness is probably the best unrecognized song Gary ever wrote....

Question: Why is Gary's old Les Paul housed over in Japan? I would've thought that it would've ended up in one of our 2 million Hard Rock Cafe's right here in...
I just posted a picture of the GR mountain. It's pretty cool. I thought of Gary when I saw it and pulled over on the side of the highway to get a good shot of...
Christina: When Gary put his '58 Sunburst Les Paul (which he used for much of his career during and after the Hi Infidleity tour) out to auction, the Japanese...
It was 1981 I think - the day I moved back to Buffalo from Connecticut I went to a downtown laundermat in the afternoon - Liz Frye was there doing the band's...

I was curious as to how that worked, why the guitar ended up overseas instead of being here in the homeland. I should've known that the one with the most money...
I like Liz. She was really cool. I only met her once at the hotel room party, but she left an impression on me as a teen. Back in those days, I wanted to be...
