Julkaisimme sivustollamme eilen uutisen, jossa kerroimme entisen W.A.S.P.:n sekä L.A. Gunsin rumpalin Steve Rileyn siirtyneen ajasta ikuisuuteen 67 vuoden iässä keuhkokuumeen seurauksena. Nyt W.A.S.P.:n kitaristi-laulaja Blackie Lawless on julkaissut muistokirjoituksen edesmenneelle bändikaverilleen ja voit lukea kirjoituksen tästä:
”The entire W.A.S.P. family are saddened to hear of the passing of our friend and former bandmate Steve Riley. Steve was a native of Boston and came from a large family. He had several brothers, which from the beginning I dubbed, ’the Dalton Gang’. That came from an old Quick Draw McGraw cartoon and in a fun type of way they reminded me of some crazy kind of wannabe outlaws. They all loved the name so it stuck.

”Most drummers have some the best humor in any band. It’s just the way they are wired and he was no exception. Steve could make a dog laugh and that’s no joke.
”For any band, being on the road can be a grind. If you have someone in the band that can come in and break the tension just by being themselves, then that’s a gift that’s sorely missed when that vacuum can no longer be filled.
