RIP the great guitarist Dick Wagner

Bad voogum. Lost a great one here.

 

A talent, truly a great guitarist and an accomplished writer. His work with Bob Ezrin and Alice Cooper puts him in the history books, though he had a storied career with highlights before and after, some documented, many uncredited, as you all know. A remarkable musical life.

 

Man I loved him when he toured with Alice Cooper during the Welcome to my Nightmare tour! He was a freaking awesome talent!

 

that's the guitar he used with Alice Cooper!!!

 

A great guitarist who played on some of my favourite albums. We've lost so many this year - a tough time for music fans. RIP Dick and sending best thoughts to his family and friends.

 

train kept a-rollin' is my favourite aerosmith song, and get your wings my favourite album of theirs.
i love all the song but my favourite parts are the guitar solos.
i read about hunter & wagner playing on the album a year or so ago. kind of surprised me at first, what with the band having two guitarists of their own.
saw lou reed on the rock n roll animal tour when he came to nz. the only reason i went was to hear the intro, as i never like reed himself.
back then concert tickets were cheap!

 

Yes, Lester, they did.
R.I.P. to a modern guitar god.

 

Damn...one of my all time favorite guitarists ever. I've been enthralled by his work since way back when I was a kid. I didn't even know who it was I was listening to until just a few years ago.

RIP Mr. Wagner
you truly made my life a better place.

 

Paying my respects bump

 

RIP to a Detroit LEGEND. Dick Wagner will always mean the Frost to me.

Steve Hunter did the solo at the end of "Generation Landslide," one of my favorites.

 

Absolutely. Growing with the Detroit music scene, Dick Wagner has always been a local hero. Fortunately, I still have both my Frost LP's. I am grateful that I was able to attend the benefit show this past March for Gary Grimshaw that featured the guitar army of both Dick Wagner & local gunslinger Ray Goodman. Some mighty fine playing that night.

RIP Maestro.

 

Playing his self titled solo album now and enjoying it. I think I'm going to play all the Frost albums in order next. He was one of the greats
