    • @frankkolton1780
      @frankkolton1780 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      I think because this was during the era of so many guitar orientated bands being so popular, he was overlooked by most rock fans. Chicago was truly a team effort, the way the songs were written and arranged, there no keying in on one person frequently, everyone got their chance to contribute and shine in the songs and during their shows. I think that was their core idea when they first formed the band. Many bands start out attempting that but personalities, different talent levels, and swollen egos quickly change the dynamics of the bands. They were all talented but they all looked to Terry, he was a natural leader, he was very good with people, they trusted him, liked his ideas, and his arranging. I think he could of lead the band in any direction he wanted and they would've followed.
      Had he lived longer who knows what would of happened. He may of decided to try different things on his own. I think if he stayed, he wouldn't of allowed it to become the Peter Cetera Show, but that happened because he was gone and no one had anything new in song ideas except Cetera. Kath's leadership style was to include and inspire all, he knew how help and support the other's song ideas.

And hired some more guys to help you. Terry Kath should have played around with a hand gun and play Russian roulette with it. I guess his parents never had a chance of talking to him about what not to do with a gun. He should be carrying one anyway. He should hired a trained military security guard to protect him and his band and crew members. Marlene Toledo Grayson

    The 70's created the best music we've ever had.
    I am 79 years old and in my opinion,
    We were trying to make up/ rebel, or get back at the assholes who censored any kind of fresh thinking that didn't adhere to the conservative thinking of a few who had the power to control what music we were allowed to hear.
    Oldies but Goodies then Rock and Roll were lame and the pressure was building. The Beatles, from England, were allowed to come to the US and everything changed!
    Many new bands came out of the woodwork with all new music that "we" were starving for.
    Harmony with a guitar and sax in the background was no longer cutting it .
    Music is considered the opiode of the youth but when the change came, it was like a dam bursting.
    I got back from Vietnam in 67', right in the middle of this, talk about a ride...

      Fans of the original lineup of Chicago are familiar with the extraordinary playing of guitarist Terry Kath. The guitarist whom Jimi Hendrix said was "better than me" fused numerous styles and influences into a truly original style of playing. But while Kath's musical approach was innovative, his use of instruments and equipment was no less groundbreaking. In many ways, his use of various types of guitars, effects pedals and amplifiers was as original as his playing. - Terry Kath's Official Bio Pages

Maybe.....umm, you "nudged" the back of your friend's chair, thinking he'd have to save it @ the last second, & spill his beer, (bong?) & everybody would have a good laff.... Ha Ha Ha...(& this entire "thought process" took you half of an instant?) anotherwords, not thought out @ ALL.... Buuuuut... INSTEAD of something "cool" happening, he falls straight backwards, CRACKS his head on the concrete floor, splits it open, & is bleeding profusely???? Maybe not this exact scenerio, but my point is, that Terry Kath had EVERY member of his band, his Family, & his friends, ALLLLL told him time & AGAIN, DON'T HANDLE ANY of your FIREARMS for ANY REASON when you've been DRINKING!!! BOOZE & GUNS DON'T MIX!!! Well, that's EXACTLY what he was (dis?)proving to one of his friends one evening when having (more than) a few beers, he picks up a semi-auto pistol, & to "Show" his friend how "safe" it was to BREAK the "Not when you're drunk" rule, he SEE'S that the clip is OUT, and in an INSTANT pulls it to his face (forgetting about the CHAMBERED round)....He expected to hear a "click" & get to laff it off, but instead, the LAST thing he ever heard was a LOUD BANG...... THAT'S why he hasn't made any "Best of all time" lists, lack of time on earth, & in CHICAGO, it was always a GROUP effort, "NO clear Stand-out in the group"... So, anyway, that's the story, & my take on the whole damnedable tragedy...
