    @Godder Motown spawned a ridiculous number of rock n roll titans

    I'm trying to get the Motown reference. What am I missing?

    Prince and Jimi Hendrix wouldn't have existed as they were if it weren't for Little Richard so massive kudos to him for influencing two of my all time favourite artists.

    Was pleasantly surprised to see Dame Vera Lynn was still going strong at the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. RIP

    RIP. My sons were both suitably creeped out when it was revealed he wasn’t human in Alien. Fantastically creepy performance.

    RIP Aaron Tokona. Made some amazing music, was so gutted when Weta broke up back in the day. Geographica is a stone cold banger of an album.

    @Paekakboyz I grew up with his family. He was ahead of me in high school. His two younger brother Tuma & Clint were basically my age. Clint was also in Weta. His family are all lovely people no one could say a bad word about.

    I remember when I first got to college and he played a guitar solo in assembly. I thought he was the coolest person I'd ever seen. I didn't realise kids could sound that good with musical instruments. Like as good as anything on RTR Countdown.

    Its too young, 45. This one hurts.

    @raznomore totally bro, so many stories about him being a lovely guy with oodles of talent. I really liked how he steered his own course music-wise. But wished Weta hung around a bit longer.

    @raznomore I heard he played Eruption by Van Halen and Surfing with the Alien by Joe Satriani at a College concert ?

    Awesome stuff if true.
