That is awful. John was a monster player. Love his work with Thin Lizzy and White Snake.

Yeah, he was a ripper for sure. 65 is way too young.

Damn. This one hits one of my weak points. I'll be spinnin' some Blue Murder tonight at the very least. Probably have to run through Cautionary Warnin' just for the heck of it too.
