THE LEGACY OF TERRY KILGORE

​

Guitarist Terry Kilgore is famously hailed by David Lee Roth as "the man who was Eddie before Eddie,"  iconic to the Pasadena, California sound. Kilgore’s playing is defined by a raw, soulful blues edge and a mastery of "tubey" tone that favors pure feel over high-shred tropes. His is contributions to albums like Your Filthy Little Mouth and his deep roots in the Van Halen legacy have cemented his status as the ultimate "guitarist's guitarist."

​

Beyond the stage, Terry Kilgore is inseparable from his instrument, playing daily to maintain his edge. Kristy Cepielik (Korpus Kristy) recorded almost a full album with Kilgore. Cepielik is a songwriter, photographer, videographer, producer, promotions and public relations, Website, social media and she is funding the project, which may not be released.
