Yes

Uncle Ted sucks! He plays it better and he can sing! Teddy's too busy being a politician now!

@@edcollins9377 tell me you're a flaming libtard, Kamella butt nugget without mentioning you're a total idiot too..

@@RonaldWeathers-l3g Uncle Ted shit in his pants to avoid serving our country. Trumpov had bone spurs and Biden had asthma. Which of the three is the most disgusting? "sense you wanna make a political statement" The word wanted to use, you illiterate maggot, is "since." And Nugent still sucks.

100% correct

I think the bass player has been in the band since the early days.

⁠Cronin has been with the band since 1972. He left for a couple years and came back in 76. Bruce has been in the band since 77-78. So they are still classic era members. Kevin sang all of the hits.

​@@writer62951No.

​@@colinmajewski705he said O-R-I-G-I-N-A-L... ,hence origin, so yes, Neal was the only ORIGINAL member left!

Is Neal bald?

No need to say it,..everybody already knows....file next to Yes,Riot,Blackfoot,Molly. Hatchet ,,Quiet Riot and Skynyrd,of NO original member bands...

They’re not REO when they leave out half their hits in concert! In Your Letter, Keep the Fire Burning, One Lonely Night….. all missing!!!!! Why even go?

This is a tribute band if only 1 or zero original members are left. I'll bet Gary's family still gets royalties.

Don't forget to add "foreigner" er, I mean "FAUXreigner"........LOL@@chriswoosley1697

The original REO singer? What was the occasion?

You’re right about that smile; Gary’s smile could light up a room! He’s probably looking down at his son, proud as punch, and smiling! RIP sweet Gary ❤😢

look up 2013 video of REO reunion with Gary.

Kevin has repeatedly, and continues to credit Gary for REOs success. There is a video where he flat out says “we wouldn’t be here without Gary’s talent”. How is he a jerk? Gary was an (admittedly) raging alcoholic. Kevin said publicly time and again that they would love to get him back in if he could overcome his addictions. He couldn’t and it killed him. How does that make Kevin a jerk? I don’t think you have any idea what you are talking about @shawn ray

@@someoneelse6934 no sure how the sweet talking "dude" boots an original member.. How many bands have paid for a members rehab? Kevin was a hostile takeover.

Gary left on his own due to the direction Cronin was taking the band. Cronin til this day is taking credit for “Time for me to fly” when it was actually Gary who finalized the song to make it a hit. Face it, REO was done when Gary left! Regardless of alcohol or not the man was the True Star of REO 🎸

@stephsjamn yeah.....Kevin kind of pulled a hostile takeover like Steve Perry and Dennis DeYoung did/attempted. Funny thing is....Styx got better with Lawrence Gowan. Instead of realizing that the songwriting was of tandem magic and not a solo effort those ego driven singers decided to ruin bands.....

REO Speedwagon is not REO Speedwagon without Gary Richrath. No hits since he left the band. RIP Gary.

REO died after Alan and Gary's departures. That's just fact. Their albums from 1990 onward are commercial duds, and just plainly, Kronin Krap!

*must have

That's just mean right there. Funny yes. But mean.

@@scottashby6745 Not even funny.

With the kicks and the thumbs...

That's because Gary was a lead guitarist

Gary was one of the best an so under rated. I recognize a Richrath lead immediatley! And Garys slides made chills on my spine every time. Yes, Gary Richrath was and will remain one of the very best lead men EVER

​@@juliereminiec4937no shit, Sherlock

Tanya. I 100% agree with you. As a HUGE fan of Richrath, please do yourself a favor and check out Scott Gorham's solos with Thin Lizzy. They have a VERY similar tasty playing style and tone. I think you'll be surprised (or maybe you already are familiar with Gorham?( @@tanyacamp7475

Cause nobody plays the guitar like Gary does

I went to Knox College in Galesburg with Eric!!

@@Anniearchy I didn't go to either with Eric.

⁠@@MrSimmies I didn't know the guy that didn't go to either with Eric!

yep Gary always had this dead sexy twinkle in his eye

RICHRATH.... THAT'S R I C H R A T H......SPELL IT CORRECTLY

How bout GARY MOORE???

It don't matter how Anthony spelled it, it's the thought that counts and YES RICHRATH was and will always be the best. The only effect Gary ever used was an occasionally a wah wah pedal, other than that, it was straight Les Paul to Marshall. The 70s was the period of rock n roll where you knew what guitarist you where listening to by their STYLE, so many greats, Richrath, Schon, Shaw, Moore, Nugent, Frehley, I could go on on, my point, 70s classic Rock just kicked F...ING ASS

HE WAS TRYING to show off his boom sticks hit stretched leather...........😐

Uhhmm, that's disingenuous outright fraud. A new REO can't be cloned. Some guys have tried to do what you say but inevitably crash and burn. REO was a singular creation that took mamy years to tune up. Nobody has that dedication anymore. The age of arena rock bands, except for Journey limping along, is past. Enjoy what we have.

@@danielfronc4304 Michael jahnz is already doing that under the name of Richrath project 3:13...

@@danielfronc4304 That is like Queen now with Adam on lead vocal. Just not the same. Start new bands with your own sound.

I totally agree. No Gary, No R.E.O.!

It might not be the absence of Gary but rather father time that catches up with all of us. Of course the band doesn't have that youthful energy! It isn't the absence of Gary. Gary played his part. Every member has a part to play. The team is everything. REO fans on these sites need to get off the Gary bandwagon..no pun intended. Gary was just one piece of the puzzle. He should have been grateful to have been in this unique band. It's a shame he needed to be top dog. In my life I have come in second many times. My attitude was that there was only one person better than me and they may have had a genetic advantage. I know I outworked everyone else. And that is its own reward.

@@joseftullen6372 It wasn't that Gary wanted to be number one, it was the way it was taken from him. Fact is after Gary left the never even made a top five hit, yet they still play and live off of what he wrote and co-wrote. After all, who do you think put the line-up together that produced those number one through number five hits together in the first place? It was mainly Gary doing the footwork. Even Cronin himself has stated , "without Gary none of us would be where we are today".

@@joseftullen6372 Dave Amato is very good, but his style/sound of lead guitar is different as is true of every guitarist… Gary’s style fit the early REO songs and simply had more energy that the current lineup never could match…

I think youth gives an energy to bands and other artists that age cannot duplicate. Case in point, John Denver. He was on fire in the 70's and couldn't buy a hit later on. It killed him. These guys should be more grateful. I would be good being a one hit wonder.

I can't see any resemblance - at all.
