I ALSO GREW UP IN PEORIA ILLINOIS, BORN IN 1950 AND WAS CLASS OF “68 PEORIA HIGH SCHOOL. IT WAS IN THE EARLY 70′S THAT I TRAVELED FRIDAY/SATURDAY NITES TO BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS TO A NIGHT CLUB WHICH NAME I CANNOT REMEMBER. IT WAS IN THAT CLUB THAT I FIRST MET REO SPEEDWAGON AND THE OTHER CENTRAL ILLINOIS BAND ‘HEAD EAST.” THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS TO ME. I WAS IN MY EARLY 20′S DRIVING 40 MILES OVER AND 40 MILES BACK TO PEORIA. I NOW RESIDE IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, SWIM EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, HAVE A FULL TIME GARDNER AND A FULL TIME MAID ON MY NEARLY 4ACRES HACIENDA AS THEY CALL IT HERE. AT MY POOL I PLAY ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF REO SPEEDWAGON, “ROLL WITH THE CHANGES” AND “GOING DOWN FOR THE LAST TIME” WHICH IS A SONGS THAT WILL GET YOU DANCING. BOTH OF THESE BANDS ORIGINATED WITH CLASSMATES FROM UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS WHICH IS JUST 40 MILES FURTHER EAST OF BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS. IT IS TOO BAD PERSONALITIES GET IN THE WAY OF EARNING SUPER MONEY AND PERFORMING. BOTH THESE BANDS HAD MEMBERS THAT AFTER SUPER NOTORIETY THEY COULD NOT BE IN THE SAME ROOM. MY OPINION IS THIS IS WHY THE “ROLLING STONES” IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST ALL TIME ROCK AND ROLL BAND EVER. PLUS THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE HAD MANY GREAT SONGS OVER THE YEARS. GOOD LUCK TO ALL IN THEIR LATTER YEARS, IT WAS A GOOD RUN FOR ALL OF US.

I saw Gary play The Flying Turkey Trot on the Live Infidelity VHS when I was a kid, and have had a lifetime of inspiration to master my Gibson (I’m still far from it though), I have never seen anybody “carry” a song, audience, and time itself the way he does!
Why did REO have to be another “band ruined by a self-richeous/arrogant lead singer”? Gary Richrath IS REO Speedwagon, Kevin Cronin was “just a singer”, of a no-name band without Gary.

Only Carl Wilson is left as an original. The article says Johnson is a fillin and later says he is an original member–teechnically not so.

Also if you would use paragraphs this would be much more readable and user-friendly. Thanks.

Kiss AWOL is bitter fanboy central but I still enjoy a lot of the threads. 2.5 sounds about right.

I second Barry’s comments!! Bring back Gary asap!! The public wants Gary back and afterall we are your customers, well if Gary comes back atleast. When Gary comes back I will definately go see REO again, but until then.

don’t pay any attention to sherman. he’s bitter because he got banned. and he doesn’t even like kiss (any version).

feel free to go to kissawol and vent with others who think PISS should have hung it up years ago.
