One of the best original Australian rockers R.I.P BILLY

I feel so privileged to have been able to see Billy play live. He was truly amazing, and of all the hundreds of bands and artists I’ve seen live, he was without a doubt the loudest. One of a kind and a true legend.

LOVE Billy Thorpe. Beautiful memories come flooding back BUT I am sitting here crying because I am so sad, depressed and missing my sister who committed suicide 7 months ago because of our abusive "mother". Miss you and love you so much big sis.

I saw them at the Royal Easter show when they were just begining and fell in love with them then. Im 70 now and still a fan.

I remember in the old days seeing Billy play at Crown in Melbourne. I wore ear plugs for the whole show, got home couldn't hear anything for the next 12 hours. It was that loud I reckon you could have heard the band in Lonsdale street. Some of the greatest gigs I saw, was Billy, and a another one that comes to mind was South Side Six in Moorabbin. R.I.P. Bill Thorpe

Mid 70s me and 2 school mates travelled from Bega to Cooma to see Billy Thorpe at a small theater. Before he came on there was a small projector up the back where every one watched Suzie Quatro. It was a great night, my ears were ringing for about 3 days.

Thorpie OMG. Saw him live during his "Sunbury" incarnation (same rhythm section) in 73-75 including the Lifesaver gig when "Billy killed the fish" then, after returning from his explorations of the USA, at Tanelorn in 81, then finally in 1994 with this same line-up. His voice was still crystal clear & so powerful, and his guitar playing seemed to get better & better. Sorely missed. RIP Thorpie.

The KING of Sunbury. From the estate where I live I can look across to the site where the festival was held. The stage area is hidden in the valley but can see the slope where everyone watched from. At the end of Duncan’s Lane is a plaque commemorating him at the festival. RIP Billy.

I have orders from my older brother that when he passes, it's my job to ensure Somewhere over the rainbow by Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs is played. And it must be the one from Sunbury. Can't listen to that song. Just makes me howl.

Ive only had the pleasure of rocking out to Billy Thorpe for 20 years and wish i had the 20 years before that to love and enjoy. Hes like the Australian Steven Tyler! A true legend who will forever be missed.

I say underrated in how often I get to hear of them compared to others I would rather not ever again hear, and also: that is way better than some things I choose to listen to.

His "Children Of The Sun" Concert (1979), in Dallas, Texas, U S A, sounded phenomenal, as well, in my opinion and he might have even been playing the same Guitar and/or a similar Model. Wish i had been there and here. Rest, in Peace, your Dad's Cousin.

Saw Bily many years ago at the Palace in Melbourne with Pig Morgan etc. Spiderbait were the support band and they were loud. Until Billy came on and fuck he was LOUD. My brother in law and I drove home along Punt rd without speaking a word because our ears were ringing. That didn't stop until the next morning 😀 Aaah the good old days😛
