Guitarist for Saliva... 59 years old.
My buddy's band opened for them a few years ago.. a free concert in the parking lot of a Harley dealer on a sweltering hot Wednesday night..
Saliva brought everything they had to that show.. true professionals.
I know you guys are tired of RIP threads, but this one really hit home.

Not familiar with the band, but sorry for your loss. I think we've all had that sort of reaction when a band member/artist who really meant something us personally at some point, passes away. Got a favorite tune that you think of as their "signature"? I'm always up for listening to something I haven't heard before.
BTW: I was the main one whining about having the RIP threads here in Moe's, but that point of view was voted down in a poll so I, for one, am perfectly happy to abide by the wishes of the majority: most people are fine with having them here, so here they should be.

I'm surprised that I've never even heard of Saliva. It's not my kinda music but it still surprises me.

They were reasonably popular on MTV for a while.

Looks like the lad was a Shred-Meister.
Not a huge fan of the Rap aspect of their music, but I can appreciate it much better when it's used as one element of a performance by people who can also actually sing and play as well. These guys who just emanate attitude and rap in a monotone with samples behind them bore me and don't produce something which qualifies as "music" (just my opinion).

Unfortunately he gets added to the list of "People I've Never Heard Of." RIP.

I’ve never heard of him before as well. By all accounts he was a nice dude and, hey a Raiders fan. The music reminds me of Suicidal Tendencies and I like his blues-based shredding. RIP.
