I just heard the news and am deeply saddened. Mr. Berry was a true innovator. What a great influence he was on all of us. Without his amazing talent, rock would never have soared the way it has! I know he's playing lead guitar in rock'n'roll heaven right now!!!

Yup, he was the guy for sure, but his private life left little to be desired. In fact, he was not well liked at all by his peers.

Hit like you mean it!!

Yes he had the soul , mr, rock and roll play now with the other heavyweights in heaven

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
