    Mr Gales , I had the good fortune to see you in concert. My friend had a opportunity to go back stage...As for me he different offer that situation. You see Im inflicted with the same thing that you can relate to. Upside down. bass guitar play playing.. You gave me hope for all of us, backward rockers.

    The fact that he's playing like that with a right-handed guitar flipped upside down puts him high above in a different category for me.

    Love this dude. Im a metal head but as a player myself i can appreciate another players chops and vibe. I also was a severe heroin and benzo addict then became a fentanyl and benzo addict and have over dosed and almost died more times than i can count over the span of 10 years. When i turned 30 i was mentally and physically tired and exhausted like erick was. I got clean and decided to pick up the guitar and ive never looked back. Been clean for 3 years straight. I still trip out sometimes that i made it out of that lifestyle alive. Will always respect this man as a man first and a player second. Much love big bro.

      My hero as well of all time. Son and I have known him since 2008 hanging out in Memphis and helping in whatever way we could. My son worked on his first crude website for a while, Eric even gave him a credit (Arthur Smith) on the liner notes for Transformation. I can't wait for the new release coming in a few months, produced by none other than Joe Bonamassa. Eric is the real deal
