Totally ripping guitar player. Ripping.

He was a talented SOB.

And he was an SOB.

Volatile and corrosive.

But talented.

RIP

The SOB and the Rhythym Kings stuff is some fucking searing rock n' roll. True rock n' roll.

I love so much of his music.

Wife-beating maestro, rot in peace.

Obviously this hits home for me.

RIP IKE TURNER.

I feel like I've known you my whole life.

Ike Turner

A ripping guitarist who, it seems to me, is pretty underrated.

On the SOB front, there is the time Ike Turner
blackmailing Daniel N. Flickinger out of one of
Flickinger's custom built recording consoles, one that
Ike commissioned Flickinger to build for him around
1972 or 1973.

The story is not mine to tell, but salient details include
Flickinger's wife, a coke party at Bolic Sound, a prison
sentence, a hooker, a plane full of controlled substance,
and the closing down of Flickinger's custom console
and electronics design business

Quite a nasty little morsel of rock history.

The fact that you joined the forums to tell us that is brilliant.
