One of the greatest guitar players of all time. Never gets enough credit for that.
Was much closer to being the true heir to Jimi Hendrix than most of the dumb cunt metal and hard rock guitar wankers. He got it.
Like many others I was a huge Prince fan in the late 80s before he got shit.
As a fifteen year old I queued overnight on the corner of Merchants quay and Patrick street to buy tickets from Golden Disks for his concert (no such thing as a gig then) in Pairc ui Chaoimh, fucking great craic but I wasnāt half fucked the next day, being 15 I didnāt go to bed.
For a finish I couldnāt go to the show because I spent most of the summer in New York,
I also won a vinyl copy of Graffiti Bridge on Jo Maxi.
Sad news today.
