She wasn't only beautiful but she had a beautiful voice. I wish we could hear more of her songs, like b-tracks never released? Very unique voice. Most unique taleted underrated band ever.

Prime Time one of my favourite songs of all time ⭐️

Rest in Peace, you beautiful doll. Awesome, underrated band.

Sad but seems to be daily now that someone from the great eras of music passes. Rip and condolenses to the family

Saw the Tubes at Hammersmith Odeon in December 77 I think. Best gig I ever saw. Loved Re Styles. My Prime Time Re RIP

Saw the Tubes about 40 years ago in Iowa City with Todd Rundgren opening. They were performance art pioneers . Loved the theatrics mixed with great musicianship

I always loved the Tubes. Definitely an, if not the avant-garde band of the 70ies and beginning of the 80ies. Death is part of all our lives and the older you get the more you have to realize that these impacts are coming closer and closer the older you get. Thanks for your musical and artistic contribution to this great band. R.I.P. Re Styles. Thanks for sharing! Cheers DimiZ

She represents a history of San Francisco that should always be celebrated and remembered.

Prime time is my favorite Tubes song. She and Fee sang a beautiful duet in that one.

R.I.P. Re Styles. 1950 - 2022.

I'm crying as I think of her. .I miss her . People were blessed that got to know her

I saw the Tubes with Alice Cooper, The Kinks, Nazareth, Flo and Eddie and Sha na na. Re sings on "Don't Touch Me There."

Sad news. Only saw her once with the Tubes. Did not know she was from my home country. Thanks for info!

The Tubes are one of my favorite bands and I first saw them in '83 during the Outside Inside tour. I've also had the opportunity to see them many times over the years, including just last year, the 40th anniversary of Completion Backward Principle. I've seen that show 3 different times over the last couple of years. Great band, Re Styles influenced a local Rhode Island band to add a female dancer/performer to thier lineup, and they even opened for The Tubes during the '83 tour, "The Probers" was the name of that band. RIP, it was nice that you did a piece on her, sad news indeed.

Rest in Peace RE !

I saw the What Do You Want From Live tour in Toronto, around 1978. It was a fantastic show, and are was a huge part of it. She was the choreographer and was in every dance number, plus singing!

I always loved "Prime Time" in which she shared the lead vocal with Fee. So sorry to hear this, RIP Re.

Tubes: one of the great American rock bands. I saw them in Central Park in NYC in '74 or '75 when they did the whole show with the giant cigarette butts and remote control TV head, partial nudity, etc. Then I saw them a bunch of times in the early '2000's at BB Kings paired down somewhat, but still rockin' and kickin' ass. They're a great band with great songs who know how to put on a show and entertain. They should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by now if they aren't already. Not to mention...you've gotta be doing something right if Todd Rundgren wants to produce you. Great, great band. R.I.P. Re

Thank you for not killing that spider! Thank you for the video paying tribute to Re. Sometimes we don’t hear about the passing of musicians, unless they’re very famous. I depend on channels such as yours to keep me in the know. Please continue with the music news. It is vital and appreciated very much!💜

I grew up with her in Seattle. Sweetest girl…visited her several times about a year before her passing …

She was married to their drummer Prairie Prince too. Many people don't know this but Prairie Prince was a founding member of Journey. RIP Re.

Big fan growing up in the Bay Area. Local legends who couldn't really sell albums (or singles) Wild timing that their Remote Control album with its slicker, more accessible production was a launching pad to more commercial success and she just left to live her life. ❤🙏❤Re - watching a motorcycle drive out on stage & The Tubes in varying stages of undress was pretty fucking wild! 🤘😎🤘

Excellent video, John. The song Prime Time is an absolute classic. It was a minor hit here in the UK, reaching No. 34, and it reached No. 49 in Australia, but it didn't even chart in their native USA, or apparently in any other territory. It was their biggest hit featuring Re, and she was one of the co-writers. On my channel I have the best-quality upload of the official music video on the web, and it's now just become my most-viewed video. If you do a search for the song on YT, my video is the first one you'll see. It has HQ audio and optional subtitles for the lyrics. RIP the amazing Re Styles.

John thanks for giving her some attention, she was an integral part of The Tubes in the seventies

I first saw the Tubes at a dive bar in Berkeley before their first album was released. They were absolutely amazing and I was hooked. Yes, her name rhymed with Fee. RIP Re, you were a terrific performer.

I saw Tubes at Greek Theater many many times great place to see them

Bummer. I still play Prime Time whenever I need a pick-me-up.

Rest in peace Re. We loved you and always played the Tubes at our parties in the late 1970's. and still listen to the songs now. Our thougths go out to your family at this time. Jo

Wow just been revisiting that album ‘Backwards Principal’ on Spotify. I used to thrash the living daylights out of that album back in the early 80s. Wasn’t aware of the the lady though. Wasn’t much information back then in New Zealand anyway. R.I.P to her though!🌹🌺🙏 Thank You for sharing! Much appreciated.

Rest Peacefully Miss Styles

And to think, I watched Xanadu a couple of days ago. Wow. R.I.P. Re Styles.

I saw her with The Tubes when they toured over here in the U.K. One of my favourite bands. R.I.P.

Saw them at them in San Jose at the civic auditorium, have been to a lot of rock concerts …. Never have seen anything like it since…

Sad to hear -more tubes please John...... much luv

So sad to hear. My top two favorite Tube songs are "Don't Touch Me There" and "Prime Time" (T.R.A.S.H album version, which featured Re Styles as the lead vocalist, instead of second lead). She had a gorgeous voice. As much as I liked 'Completion Backwards Principle', I lost interest in The Tubes when she left. Rest in peace.

My favorite Tubes albums are The Tubes(debut) I guess? And Young and Rich. RIP Ms Re.

Thanks for posting super interesting super sad

Thank you John for the update. Love the Tubes, never had the chance to see them.

I saw the Tubes back in Winterland in the 70's! RIP Re😢💜✊🏽

Thanks for the post… RIP Re Styles…

Good evening John. I hate to hear she passed away. I saw the Tubes two times in their A&M days.Great live shows.Lost interest when they went to Capitol sad to say....loved the edge on the early albums. Rest in Peace Re 🕊

"...at this moment of surrender, darling, if you really care, don't touch me there." Her performance on that song was so spot on.

Have enjoyed seeing The Tubes many times through the years, very underrated sadly, and Re was great! As I have said before it seems that 72 is the new 27. RIP

Love “Prime Time”…R.I.P. Re

Love the tubes....R.I.P,

I saw the Tubes in 1979 on the Prime time tour and she sang with them on that tour. R.IP.

May Re rest in peace.

Hey, Cool! I was at that Tubes/Gabriel/Bowie show too. Summer of '83. Twelve of us drove up from Calgary in two cars. Good times.

R.I.P.

TUBES were a hit from the first album. COMPLETION BACKWARDS PRINCIPLE was, sure, more MASS...but they broke through years YEARS earlier.

R.I.P. Miss Re

R I P Re Styles

Devastating to hear this.Re Styles was a awesome performer saw her with the Tubes on several shows.Read that she looked after the boys in XTC when they were recording Skylarking and they spoke highly of her.

Sad time R.I.P+

They were a fun and smart band. Saw them at Vanderbilt university late 70s. And on SCTV "fishing show". Rock'n'roll without humor isn't really rock'n'roll. Sorry to hear of her passing.

R.I.P. Re Styles. Canadian rocker/guitarist Jerry Doucette also passed away the day after Easter Sunday. R.I.P. to both.

Bummer she was One in a million rest in peace

booze, pills, coke and more, it's amazing she made it to 72, RIP Re you were awesome!

Pretty sad for us who knew the Tubes. I'd almost call the Tubes a parody band but I wouldn't want to do them any injustice. When they'd parody a big Rock anthem sort of song, it was actually better than what they were parodying! And when Re & Fee sang, Don't Touch Me There it might have been a comedy riff on a "sexy" duet.....but it was actually pretty steamy! Goodbye Re and rest in peace. We all love a gal with a sense of humour!

Sad indeed. The Tubes were important in the annuls.

Best live band around

Greek Theater saw Tubes in 80's great show

Prairie Prince was Journey's original drummer.

They toured the UK in 78 or 9... what a show! And Re and Fee were like the front for the Tubes. Good comparison with the Rocky Horror show.

So sad I saw them in 76-77 ? On Long Island the first album great show Be Bop Deluxe opened for them.

Johnny Bugger, chainsaw, great band. Nuff said. RIP Re Styler🙏

I'm sure I saw her sing "Don't Touch Me There" with Waybill at the Bottom Line in NYC in the 70s.

The way to see "hitting thumbs up " for a video that is bringing bad news is actually a acknowledgement of gratitude for giving the news of the death. That's how I see "liking" a video of a death announcement. You can totally use my decryption to the people who are uncomfortable liking these types of videos.

I went through a big Tubes phase, and got all my friends into them. IMO the 'real' Tubes are only up to the 'Remote Control' album. They were fan-fukin-tastic. And early on when they had Ortega (?) doing the stage production it was out of this world. I saw them many times when they were wild. But I recall seeing them in NYC a couple times after RC album, and the show had really lost a lot of insanity. Re was so great on stage.

I'm trying to remember the band but her name I've heard of before. I absolutely love that shirt your wearing. Shannon picked it out? But I am off to seek out her work so I can remember who she was. But her name definitely triggers my "ugh how do I know that nane and this will drive me crazy trying too remember who she was...such a aggravating feeling trying to remember someone... What year were the band at their peak?

I saw them open on the David Bowie serious moonlight tour

Cool Music Trivia: The Fee Waybill is the state bird of Louisiana.

Their album "Young And Rich"

Saw them last year in North Tanawanda, NY. They killed

Love, White Punks On Dope.

I used to know him. he seemed like a regular guy.

And the band played on .............

Didn't she participate in the very early tubes videos like Mondo bondage with fee?

Salute! Now put me on Remote Control

They just played last year at Freemont st Las Vegas

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
