I worked on Ric Ocasek's solo album and observed Greg creating parts and sounds. Always the perfect part.
I can only dream of being that cool for five minutes of my life.

Total control of the song, and the moment. Legend

Elliott Easton perhaps the most underrated guitarist of all time.
Really??? 😂😂😂😂
He is my all time favorite.

His playing was amazing, it always stood out.
He crafted solos that were perfect to serve the song..short tight melodic. Berklee trained- he was a musician...
