babyteen Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Now he's up there with my Dad, who passed away on Sunday, February 10, at just 55! My dad was an absolute fan of classic rock and roll music, and he loved the band Ten Years After! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'm sorry to hear about your Dad babyteen. I'm a classic rocker turning 55 this year so your loss means something to me. My thoughts and prayers. I'm also so sorry to hear about Alvin Lee. Not only was he immortalized on film with his over the top version of I'm Goin' Home, but he also put on one of the best live shows I ever had the pleasure to see (Capital Theater, Passaic, NJ). Thankfully as our rock heroes pass on their music can't be stilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Alvin Lee was one of my favourite guitarists. He played with incredible passion and although he was an undeniably fast player, he rarely played a boring or repetitive solo like so many other speed merchants (Malmsteen and Vai spring to mind). IMO, he stole the show at Woodstock. RIP Alvin!!! You will be sorely missed. Edited March 8, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyteen Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Babyteen, I'm sorry for your loss... I bet your dad was a happy man. And he teached you very well... A big hug... He was a happy man. My dad was such a sweet man just full of life, and he always made everybody smile. My dad was also a great musician, playing guitar and singing. He showed me what it's like to sing from the heart. And, on a side note, I'm about to release my first virtual instrument soon! The sad thing, however, is that it took this tragedy for me to do it. But one thing's for sure, my dad was, and still is, giving me a lot of encouragement every step of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyRaccoon Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Holy crap how did I not pay attention to see this when it happened? I worship at the feet of Alvin Lee. I can't believe he died. What a shame. Seriously one of the most amazing guitarists I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
