Farewell Manny Charlton

Manny Charlton, founding guitarist for Nazareth, has died. Nazareth remains a criminally underrated band and Charlton was an amazing talent. Charlton was 80 and the reworked "Love Hurts" remains one of the greatest early power ballads, period.

"Hair of the Dog" has one of the best choruses for radio, ever. When the part "Now you're messing with a son of a bitch" happens, you must admit you press the accelerator a little harder and zoom on down the road. The track's been in regular rotation on classic rock radio since... forever. The best songs never get old.

Manny Charlton, the founding guitarist of Nazareth who played on the Scottish rock band’s best-known records including “Love Hurts” and its LP 'Hair of the Dog' and also produced early Guns N’ Roses demos, died today. He was 80https://t.co/ExSgGsF1eU
