Shit! I was having a bad day as it was, and now I read this to top it off. I've always gotten crap from people (*coughsullycough*) for liking Enuff Znuff but for a pop metal band they were great and I've loved their stuff. This sucks...RIP my man... [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

That really blows! I dug his pinch harmonics better then ANYONE elses... I thught he was a VERY underrated guitar player in a very underrated band...
Get that first CD and listen to "In the Groove" and that will hook you as a Frigo fan and Enuff-Z-Nuff Fan..
Another Rock N Roll casualty... It's too bad...

Re: Enuff Z\'Nuff guitarist Derek Frigo RIP

I liked his playing in Lemans more than anything he did in Enuff...

That's really sad that drugs did him in. And if it's true that he's pawning guitars to feed his addiction, that just makes it all the more tragic. Hopefully he can find some peace now from his worldly demons.

Bummer! He was a great guitar player in a strange band that I didn't think anybody actually really liked.

It's a sad situation but unfortunately it's not the first time a rock guy has died from drugs and it won't be the last. People just don't learn.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Is it just me, or do people (meaning the dumb-fuck general public and the jesus-freaks) always associate rock-n-roll with dangerous drugs???
Why don't these fucking religious fanatics (or whatever they are) crawl out of their fucking holes and try to learn something about reality??
Any other opinions?
