Roy Loney- Flamin’ Groovies R.I.P.*

I heard he passed away. Flamin' Groovies.

 

Very sad news. RIP

 

Oh no. That's very sad news and a real shame.

RIP Roy.

Confirmed on the Flamin' Groovies' Facebook page.

 

Roy represented the only era of the Groovies that mattered. RIP.

 

Terrible news. He had an accident as he was about to fly to Europe for a Groovies tour and the band had to do the tour without him. I'm not sure if this is a result of his accident, but I don't recall hearing anything about him since it happened. RIP.

 

RIP

Glad I got to see him live once.

 

Teenage Head lp is his masterpiece. This is what the Stones Sticky Fingers should have sounded like. Hopefully he's singing 'Evil Hearted Ada' with the King in his new happy place Wish he would have stayed with the Groovies a little longer during their UA tenure when they became white hot. Alltime favorite RL vocals are Teenage Head and Can't Explain. Gonna miss him. RIP

 

Only Twitter notices so far. Rick Criden on Twitter

Damn.

RIP to the master.

Extra-morbid note: Wish he had stuck around to record "Slow Death" with the Groovies--it was an all-time great 45 in the making.

 

This sucks. Got to see him a bunch of times, including four or five times with Cyril from 2009-2012, the Longshots, etc.

 

RIP

 

Sad to hear that

 

Damn. Hugely underrated band, I wish I'd gotten into them much sooner...

 

A friend and icon to my avatar. Very sad news. R.I.P.

 

R.I.P....

 

Rest in peace Roy, love the Flamin Grooves. Another tough loss

 

RIP Roy Loney...more terribly sad news to read today...another underrated group.

Thank you for all your musical gifts!

 

Oh no. Glad I finally got to see Roy & Cyril together last May. I saw Roy a bunch w/Phantom Movers. Was in the fan club, Roy laughed when he saw me wearin’ the T-shirt much later on when I met him. Did he make it to the Wilhelm tribute in October? Guess he’s the first of the original Groovies to pass.

 

Flamingo is every bit as great.

Very sad.

 

Tossing insults at the sky tonight.

Never got to see them.

 

Flamingo has some great cuts for sure like Texas Border. I rate Teenage Head because the Groovies take on the Stones and show them how it's done.

 

Anyone know how he passed?

Very sad news. Roy Loney, the original singer of the legendary Flamin' Groovies has died. Only minutes ago. Roy was a great talent, as a songwriter and performer, and a great friend. He was hospitalized last week, and I spoke to him Wednesday. He was in good spirits. He had a surgery this morning and never came out of it. Sorry, I have no other details. Roy will surely be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.."

 

Oh no. I used to frequent a tiny record store in San Francisco called Jack's Records. I went several times before I realized the guy behind the counter much of the time was Roy Loney.

 

Thank you.
