    I once met Eddie and the whole band back in 1986. I had won a radio contest for backstage passes when they had come to my city back then. I still have several pics of this. They were all very nice and Eddie even let me strap on the famous Frankenstrat and showed me how to play a few chords to the song panama. I walked away with a ton of t-shirts, caps, jackets, autographs and great memories that will stick with me forever. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience!

      @Gene Prevento II I tend to focus on band members that are less flamboyant, like bassists. For example, John Deacon contributed to Queen both by performing and his sound engineering designs that helped the bass and the guitar to sound better. Band members like John and Michael deserve way more attention :D

NOW, more than a huge appreciation and gratitude to the rock gods that came before me and made all this awesome music. Never before, and probably now more than ever, do I understand it all. Eddie, a HUGE thank you for all you've provided, but aside from the music you've made, but also taught us a very valuable lesson. I've heard from tons of people the one thing he was: kind. Always gave you the time of day to talk, always smiling, always knew how to treat people. I think we can all learn from this.
