Robin George Sadly Passes Away at 68 this is one of the last interviews conducted late 2023.

Sad to hear of the passing of Robin who worked and collaborated with a wide and diverse selection of some of rock musics biggest names and who "Kerrang" magazine hailed as "the axe of tomorrow" During the 70's and 80's he worked with Uriah Heep's David Byron , Diamond Head, Robert Plant , Phil Lynott, Glen Hughes to name just a few. In this interview recorded in 2023 we look back at the period when he rose to become one of the most in demand musicians of the times. The news was announced in a statement on his website, which said: “On Friday April 26 at 11:45 our beautiful Robin left this world and flew away to the next life, where we hope he’s partying with the family, friends, and musicians he loved and lost over the years. Robin had been fighting a long illness but by Christmas, it became obvious that he was not long for this world. “He was devastated when he was no longer able to play his beloved guitars but he continued to write songs, do interviews, make videos, and tell his story on Facebook and through his biography. “He desperately wanted his music to live on because music was in his heart and soul. Robin leaves behind his adored wife, four beloved children, two beautiful sisters, nine lovely grandchildren, many dear friends and the animal family that he rescued over the years. We are devastated because there will never be another Robin George. LovePower with you always. You're with your angels now.” George summed up his unique approach to guitar playing and music: “As a guitarist, my inspiration wasn’t The Beatles, although my first guitar – a Christmas present from my parents when I was about eight – had their pictures on it, but blues players like Johnny Winter and Peter Green. “I thought Zeppelin I was a fantastic album and I still do, but bands with great guitar players like Cream, The Kinks and, of course, Hendrix always interested me most. The early Fleetwood Mac stuff is fabulous – I was listening to it as a kid, at school, and thought, ‘Bloody hell! How does this man make a guitar sing like that?’ Which is more the style of my playing now: it’s more about feeling. “There was no particular influence. I somehow developed my own style, and this works against me in lot of ways, because I don’t sound like anybody else. I could still play a million notes at a million miles per minute, but these days I’d rather play one note that matters.”
