He left us at only forty-two years old, here’s what they said about him:

He was a unique artist, an original in a sea of imitators. (Mick Jagger)

Before Elvis, there was nothing. (John Lennon)

I used to hide behind the curtains, in front of the French window of the typical English house I lived in, pretending it was a stage while imitating Elvis. That was my environment at ten years old. (Robert Plant)

Elvis was my greatest hero. At that time, I was foolish enough to think that being born on the same day would mean something. (David Bowie)

My early influences were the old blues and rock singers, Elvis above all. I heard them at the right age to be conditioned by them. They seemed to open up a new world for me that I didn't even suspect existed. A strange landscape of which I could glimpse only a few fleeting images in my daily life. (Jim Morrison)

When we were kids in Liverpool, all we wanted was to be like Elvis Presley. (Paul McCartney)

The charisma he had was insane, I’ve never seen anything like it to this day. (Faith Hill)

He embodied rock ‘n’ roll, he owned it 100%. That was it. (David Lynch)

The first time I heard Elvis's voice, I realized I wouldn’t work for anyone; no one would be my boss… listening to him for the first time was like escaping from a prison. (Bob Dylan)

Elvis was really great. In every show I did with him, I never missed the chance to watch from backstage. We all did. He was truly charismatic. (Johnny Cash)

I would be very happy to be introduced to the afterlife by the voice of the greatest rock & roll singer of all time. Kentucky Rain and How Great Thou Art are the ones I’d want at my funeral. With Elvis singing gospel, and heaven and all its angels listening. (Nick Cave)

With Elvis, it became clear to me that you could use the power of imagination to transform yourself, to transcend the origins and constraints from which you came. (Bruce Springsteen)

Elvis was a giant and influenced everyone in our world. (Isaac Hayes)

In Elvis, there is the model of rock ‘n’ roll. It had everything: the gospel and the mud of the Delta, the blues. Sexual liberation. Controversies. Changing the way people see the world. Everything was in Elvis. (Bono)

Thanks to Elvis, I decided to take an interest in music. I’ve always been a fan of his since I was a kid. (Elton John)

My idol is Elvis Presley. If you come to my house, you can see portraits of him on every wall… He was the greatest entertainer to ever exist. (Eddie Murphy)

I wasn’t just a fan; I was his brother. Elvis was a hard worker, and the Lord loved him. The last time I saw him at Graceland, we sang gospel together. I love him, and I hope to meet him in the afterlife. (James Brown)

Before Elvis, the world was in black and white. Then he came along... and here’s a magnificent technicolor.

Riot - Swords & Tequila

RIOT [ FEEL THE SAME ] AUDIO TRACK

The metal that is primordial and genuine… Mark Reale and Guy Speranza…

Mark will always be the backbone of the band until death, while Guy retired to private life after the brilliant first three albums: Rock City, Narita, Fire Down Under.

Fire Down Under made the young Conte fall in love… an amazing album - just like the previous two.
“Metal album of the year,” I remember reading after listening to it... and it was indeed fantastic.

Guy retired because his religious beliefs were incompatible with the life of Rock’n’Roll, turning down, among other things, the attention of the big emerging bands of the NWOBHM.

His religious beliefs did not bring him much luck; he passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 46…

I will always thank him… Guy… among my favorite albums there’s also some metal… the genuine, sincere kind, mixed with hard rock and glam from the late 70s to the early 80s…

So much nostalgia…
