His lead guitar player Erik had a heart attack after the show. Spent 3 days here, angioplasty and had 3 stents put in. Touch n go for a while for sure. My niece was his nurse here at Mt Carmel. Said he was the nicest guy she’s ever met.

I played in a thrash band with the drummer in this clip when we were teens... long time ago.... we still keep in touch.
We used to go see Ratt when they were still playing clubs back in the day....

Funny - I was playing at down the street that night or I would have gone to that show ha. I went the night before for Bullet Boys / Winger. BB were really raw and somewhat unrehearsed sounding. Winger was much better even though I like BB more than them

BB is another band that used to have a member I played with during my teens. Jimmy has always been an awesome drummer. He left due to drama with Mark T. Bummer...
I think the guitar player is not original either. Maybe that's why they sounded loose....

Wow…get well!
Reminds me of Mark ‘Rockstah’ A, collapsing and passing away after a Starship show back in 2011 maybe?

September 2012. He was only 46. He had told his fiancé he’s been having chest pains on and off for a few weeks but they had a full concert schedule and he had to wait until it was over he didn’t want to disrupt it
