Reports flowing in on Facebook that Rick Derringer died on Saturday.
I've seen him a few times and he always put on a great show. I hope its fake.

Nothing about it that I can see yet. If he died, I assume Weird Al would have said something.
However, I did find this nugget...he's apparently selling his CDs on his website. Nothing odd about that, right?
Except, he's selling them for FIFTY DOLLARS, and after taxes and fees, they're SIXTY EIGHT. SIXTY EIGHT FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A RICK DERRINGER CD.
Don't believe me? Go look for yourself,

I got mine signed by him 5 years ago at a club show he played for 20 bucks.

Well, the CDs ARE all signed! Guess his signature is worth $35!

Yeah, now all the Wrestling sites are chiming in, since he did Hulk Hogan's theme. Didn't realize he was 77.

He also did the Demolition song from the second Wrestling Album.

Those were terrific. Back in the day when boobies went unsheathed (and the women were naturally fit).
Funny how the vocals/video were so far out of sync. Editor was probably too busy watching the boobies.

He was a good player. Underrated.

Demolition had one of the best entrance themes of all-time.

Also, I had totally forgotten that Rick Derringer also produced Weird Al's first six albums and did the solo on "Eat It" until Al paid tribute just a short while ago.

I also never knew that the reason he was on the wrestling album was because he played on Cyndi Lauper's records.

you talking about the “Exciter” solo?
For real, I didn’t realize he played on so much varied stuff

Yeah, he made a nice little career for himself producing/guesting after his solo career fizzled.

He played the solo on Alice Cooper's "Under My Wheels".

Exciter may be the best song by Kiss. Good solo also.
