Sad news. One of the greatest guitarists the UK has ever produced. The early Mac were, of course, a big influence in Quo's transformation from psych/pop to blues/boogie.
During his comeback in the late '90s Peter was asked by a guitar magazine which players he enjoyed listening to. Perhaps they were expecting him to name one of the American blues greats, but no... "I like Francis Rossi, he plays some interesting notes."
Rest in peace, Peter.

"Peter walked into a recording session of ours some time ago. A good number of years now. Thereabouts. And he just kind of walked in. We’re halfway through a take, and – ‘there’s Peter Green!' You’re certainly inhibited about playing your three fucking chords when he’s standing there…!" - Richard Parfitt

Some were as good, no one could be better. The word great is bandied around these days but Peter Green and greatness are no strangers.
Simplicity is genius

He was good. At least despite his sorows he didn't just vanish like Syd Barrett did, he came back to playing in the end and AFAIK had a decent life since. He could have had longer, but 73 isn't too bad. RIP Peter.

One of the greats gone  Younger than I thought, if I'm honest. Albatross etc. was SUCH a long time ago. Despite his legendary status, I bet Radio One aren't playing Green Manalishi anytime soon. More than likely the dance version of Oh Well from 1989  RIP to a very influential musician. |

Very sad news. I was a big fan too. At least we still have his music. RIP Peter Green.
