HI , My name is Brad from Auckland, New Zealand. When I was first turned on to Jeff's music back in the mid 80's, I was blown away by the raw power and emotion of his playing - and I soon grouped him in with my guitar favourites of all time, ie: Hendrix, Santana, Clapton, SRV. I was lucky enough to see Jeff and the band in concert, here in Auckland in the early 90's - and his unstoppable spirit shone through then when he was heckled by some idiot in the audience. Jeff ended up telling the guy to "Shut the F*** Up" - and the whole audience cheered. I'll never forget it. My deepest sympathies to Jeff's family. The world has lost a great guitarist, and a great man.
