Happy birthday to the legendary Gary Richrath, whose guitar solos were faster than an REO Speedwagon speeding down a highway! Your riffs in classics like "Take It on the Run" and "Ridin' the Storm Out" still have fans air-guitaring decades later. If there was ever a Hall of Fame for epic hair flips and unforgettable rock anthems, you'd be inducted twice.Even though it's been years since you rocked stages worldwide with your electrifying performances, your music remains timelessly awesome. Today we celebrate you—Gary Richrath—the man who taught us that life's journey is best traveled at full volume!
