One of the best and coolest rock guitarists ever. At his best he was everything that I like about rock music. R.I.P.

GravitySlips · 01.06.2009, 03:02 PM

really sad to hear about this, r.i.p.

o'connor · 01.06.2009, 03:09 PM

awe, me and a buddy were just talking about the stooges last night at the bar. ain't that a bitch. rip indeed.

SuperCreep · 01.06.2009, 03:21 PM

Wow, I can't believe it. I wonder what the hell happened.

RIP Ron. :'7(

viewtiful_alan · 01.06.2009, 03:52 PM

Man... talk about irreplaceable. Even when he was in his late fiftie's dude could still play those stooges' songs the way no other professional guitar guys iggy had over the years ever could.
Iggy better not continue with the Stooges name, not only because it would be a flat out lie, but also because its just disrespectful.
In any case.. R.I.P yer playin spoke to me at a time when I was real confused in my life (as stupid as that may sound, everything about those first 3 stooges albums spoke to me)

dazedcola · 01.06.2009, 04:54 PM

wow im devastated. Now i really regret not seeing the stooges live on their reunion tour. their will never be another band like them again only imitators.

i guess the lesson to be learned is that fat dudes shouldn't play in bands with mike watt.

A little anecdote a friend of mine just e-mailed me:

Quote:

I was doing an in-store signing in Los Angeles with Ron and the Empty Set and bought a copy of Fun House for him to sign for me. He cracked up when he saw me in line for an autograph, because I was in the fucking band! He was an awesome guy and I am grateful for having the memories of playing with him... I'm gonna have to dust off the fucking wah-wah pedal now.

jon boy · 01.06.2009, 09:09 PM

so sad. i feel honored having seen him play.

Death & the Maiden · 01.07.2009, 02:05 AM

RIP Ron.

repeater · 01.07.2009, 03:28 AM

A total guitar genius
Glad I got to see him play live

RIP

Kosako · 01.07.2009, 07:01 AM

Well...
Rest in peace, man.
