    Terry’s talent transcends what the highest musical ability looks like.
    He rarely looks down at his instrument while hitting every note with blazing precision. I am convinced that no matter how hard you work, or how much practice, very few musicians on earth will ever come close to this level of expertise, and do it with soul. This is a God given talent on display. There is no other explanation.

      @adude394 12 днів тому

      @@annawarner1078 Terry was playing with a gun, a 9mm semi-auto pistol, at a party. Somebody warned him to be careful with the gun, and he ejected the magazine, pointed the gun at his head, and pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, as any one with any knowledge of guns will tell you, if a semi-auto has a round in the chamber, it can fire even with the magazine ejected. This gun had a round in the chamber, and Terry died instantly, only about a week before his 32nd birthday. A senseless, needless, tragic death, just as an overdose would have been. The thing is, I've read that he enjoyed target shooting, so one might think he would have followed the first, common-sense rule of gun safety: Every gun is loaded, always, and should be treated that way. However, as is painfully clear, intoxicants and guns are a very, very bad mix.

    Terry Kath is a stellar guitarist. His mastery of the neck backed with his depth of feeling is on par with virtuoso like Hendrix, Page, Clapton and on and on. Definitely in the top five best of all time. From slow to lightning Kath plays exactly what feel. Never a bad note. He is truly channeling from a place very few can elevate to.How he has been overlooked makes no sense whatsoever. But to us guitarists in the know embrace him for who he is, a master of craft. A stellar talent taken way too soon.

    This is one of my favorite Chicago songs but not for the reason most people like it. Terry Kath is completely awesome in this but if it weren’t for the vocals in this it would have only been half a hit song. Peters vocals and his bass are imo what makes this one of Chicago’s and Robert Lamms masterpieces. Listen with headphones and see for yourself that Peter Cetera was one of the best bass players in rock music and he never gets the recognition he deserves for that and also his amazing vocals.

      Chicago Fan I dunno. I wouldn’t be so dismissive, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
      Shit, my opinion is as valid as either of yours and frankly I don’t particularly like Chicago. 99% of it, to be honest, unlistenable lowest common denominator, capital S Soft Rock (in every bad sense possible).
      However, Chicago Transit Authority SMOKES.
      Peter Cetera represents everything I hate about a certain sound that permeated music for a while. Vapid. Insipid. Shallow enough to play to a sickeningly cut-out-of-plastic sappy, “radio friendly” music for people who grew up too fast and/are afraid of the real thing.
      Take out the heart and the dangerous parts and...
      you’ve got Chicago.
      But Terry Kath was a shit hot fucking guitarist.
      His wild and fiery playing on the (very) early Chicago records (especially CTA) is positively inspiring.
      The dissonant, atonal manipulated feedback of “Freeform Guitar” or his lead playing on “I’m a Man”, where his guitar is always veering dangerously close to becoming unmanageably out of control, but creates an absolutely thrilling, hold on to your seat excitement that stands in stark contrast to me to Peter Cetera leading the band through some of the most “safe” and boring adult contemporary music ever created.
      Nah. Fuck that.
      The Chicago I Love is all about Terry Kath playing like a bullet train off the rails. On fire. Full of Tyrannosaurus Rex’s.
