SteveFord Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 So sad is right. It doesn't look like they ever released the cause of death, did they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabs Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yeah I don't think they released that info... Must have been all that sex, drugs and rock n roll :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 In an interview, Paul Nelson speculated that it was probably emphysema that got him...Paul had apparently helped him curb the heroin addiction, but the smoking was out of control... -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 As with many others like him,Johnny had been clean for years but unfortunately the nature of a lot of these drugs is that they do so much damage when they are being used,that the adverse health effects keep on eating away at the person's body and organs until they eventually cause death.Unfortunately by the time they get clean after years of abuse their life lines have been shortened significantly and there is no way to escape the inevitable premature death. Johnny was a monster guitarist and for eons to come he will be casting a giant shadow on all those who try to fill his shoes.I will be picking up a copy of his last album but I know that it will be extremely difficult to listen to it.

69tele Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 It's a pretty good album, I was lucky enough to see him back in May at a venue about 2 1/2 hours from my place, I originally whasn't sure about going as it was a long drive on a weeknight but so glad I did His voice was so croaky it couldnt be heard at some points in the song, but the guitar playing was amazing. Especially the last few songs when he ditched the Zematis and pulled out the old Firebird. RIP http://youtu.be/h324Xs5RKuA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
