Tom Petty?

There is a death thread bazza.

One of my all time favourites… was my first proper gig back in 1987 when he first supported and was Dylan’s backing band… got me into playing Rickenbackers and IMHO always got less accalim than he deserved… brilliant song writer and all round decent bloke…

Talented but dull as fuck?

Stevie Nicks wanted to join the Heartbreakers so he can’t have been that dull!

I was only replying to the Steve Davis bit.

Saying that, Stevie Nicks would’ve livened them up a bit :lou_lol:

A Springsteenesque offering from the 80s with that awesome Rickenbacker (just for AG)

To be fair i do think Tom Petty is worthy of his own thread. Genuinely saddened, i was lucky enough to see him live a couple of times, the Heartbreakers were a great band. Fucking hell, he was two years younger than me, that concentrates the mind. RIP Mr Petty.
