Bob Casale (Devo), RIP
 

Devo guitarist Bob Casale dead at 61 - Washington Times

This is devastating news to me. He was such a gifted guy and really molded the sound of Devo in studio and added so much to the band. It will certainly never be the same to see Devo live. His guitar work while subdued, was unlike anybodys sound. He will be missed.

Again very underrated and an artistic genius.

My personal favorite, but I've never heard a Devo song I didn't like. Truly underrated band, everyone knows "Whip It", but hardly anyone I know can name any other song they did. RIP.

hey Screen13....thank you for that first video....just finished watching the entire q and a

the man had a unique gift among guitarists of the 70s and 80s - talent, taste, and style

first thing that popped into my head when i said to myself....72 hours of only DEVO!

I broke out Devo's first album about a week ago - first time I've heard it in a few years. It's still as brilliant as ever. RIP, he was a wonderful guitarist.

Thanks!

Through the classic times and even troubled times that fit every great band, the Casales and Mothersbaughs (and in their first decade plus a couple, Drummer Alan Meyers - RIP, plus a little early help from Bob Lewis) always had something interesting going on, which kept me listening to what Devo brought to music, and their most recent album was great. Bob 2's style was a very important part of Devo's mix of the future and past. He will be missed.
