Actually, Earl Slick, still plays with Bowie? He's is a great guitarist.
Where is Gary now. He left REO many years ago.

Wow ... whadda small world lol Royal Oak born & raised here, don't live in RO any more, but still live in the Metro area ... can't believe how much it's changed though as of late. Still have alot of friends & some family in RO too.
As a kid, grew up in the Gardenia/Alexander area, back when Glen graduated (and forgot sister did drop out in senior year), but the bro in law did graduate with Glen, in '65.
trying to think of what tennis courts ... I can remember going to Dondero's pool as a kid, and hearing music ... I often wondered if that was him. Also had a 'rock band' around the block from me, but can't remember the name of it
I often wondered if he was in that one too (this was summer of '66)
Also can't believe I forgot to mention Alice Cooper too in my 1st post ... he was from the Detroit area too if I'm not mistaken

Played with this guy years ago in my hometown, he lived in a smaller town not far away, you may not know him but hes played with The Nelson Twins, John Farhnam and is now in a band with Ginger Bakers son Kofi. OK, hes not a big rock star but he is an fantastic guitar player.

I grew up in Woodward/Catalpa area....tennis courts were on the north side behind football bleechers,maybe Pleasent street ?
alice spent time in Pontiac....
Living down the road 60 miles away in Rochester, we got Lou Gramm of Foreigner and the mind-bending Chesterfield Kings!
GLUECIFER!!!! how could you forget them? ;-)
LOL! Rock stars?
Most of the guys are from Baerum, outside of Oslo... At least Poon is.
probably a mistake...should have stopped when hank left.
hank was or is involved with another project called "Dr. Midnight & the Mercy Cult"
featuring members from Extol, Marilyn Manson, Satyricon and Apotygma Berzerk.
not shure if the scientology rumours are true....
yeah, they are the kings of rock. honestly gluecifer is one of the most underrated rockband ever. if i listen to "automatic thrill" from a-z it just blows me away every time...outstanding!!!!!
Dr. Midnight had their premiere live in front of a 100.000 audience in Oslo last week. Not bad at all, even though it isn´t my cup of tea.
There are many scientology rumours. The detox and his "colaboration" with the movement are true. But Hank is not a scientologist himself. At least, so he says.
100'000? wow. i heard the demo last autumn since anders (guitar) is a friend of mine. hanks voice sounds special and a bit weird in that musical context...
Talk about your favorite band.

I'm from London. Which era shall we start with? Went to college with Sid Vicious, John Lydon and Jah Wobble. Madness went to the school down the road.
Was it obvious he had talent even then?

Gary Richrath from REO Speedwagon is from my hometown. His parents live down the street from me. They have a wall in their living room filled with his gold records. I use to look at them when I delivered pizzas to their house back in the day. Also Mudvayne is from the town next to mine.

I was born in Birmingham, England and now live in Wolverhampton so two lists for me:
Brum
Ozzy Osborne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, Steve Winwood, Muff Winwood, all of Judas Priest and assorted members of ELO and the Move. John Bonham was from a satelite town, Redditch which is about 10 miles from Brum.
Not a bad list but we can also lay claim to UB40, 4/5 of Duran Duran, Dexys Midnight Runners and Ocean Colour Scene so I'll get me coat and leave!
Wolves Robert Plant - still lives in the area and you see him around town from time to time - and Slade.
The West Midlands has a rich musical heritage particulrly in the late 1960's/early 1970's. A new exhibition has recently opened with exhibitions donated by some of the names listed above: www.homeofmetal.com
I'll be popping along next weekend, especially as you can play a few Gibsons!

Well if you are going to count New York, London or LA as a hometown, then you may as well count the country you live in as a hometown as well. Unless you have had some contact or at least seen them in the street, it doesnt really count.

About 10 minutes from my hometown was the late Rick Danko,formerly of The Band/The Hawks.
He went to high school with my mother and most of my aunts and uncles.My grandfather used to work at a tobacco factory with his father and one of his brothers.
