Devo Guitarist Bob Casale Dead At 61
 

From Devo Facebook:

Bob Casale of Devo. Born: July 14th, 1952 . Deceased: February 17th, 2014

As an original member of Devo, Bob Casale was there in the trenches with me from the beginning. He was my level-headed brother, a so...lid performer and talented audio engineer, always giving more than he got. He was excited about the possibility of Mark Mothersbaugh allowing Devo to play shows again. His sudden death from conditions that lead to heart failure came as a total shock to us all.

Gerald Casale, Devo founder.

Good lord, a third music related death within 24 hours.

I kind of lost track of Devo after the first couple of albums, but respect due to then for creating a sound of their own. RIP to Bob Casale :(

was fortunate to catch them in 2005 in DC, actually caught part of Bob 2's energy suit that was ripped off, sad day

RIP I love DEVO

BE STIFF B-ABY BE STIFF

Whoa, this dude was 61? Shit. Are we all getting that old that the people who weren't old when we were young are all old, some dying? Lord have His mercy.


either way, memory eternal to the departed

RIP Bob. Your music changed my life.
Devo is the only band I loved when I was 12 that I still adore today.
Total originality in the vacuum of Ohio.
True pioneers, true satirical geniuses.
We are all DEVO
