Saw a couple of older interviews with Tom...
Just seemed like a really cool, down to earth guy who managed the "rock star" role humbly.
A couple of highlights imo. I always knew he collected guitars....one was in his man cave...guy said he counted 149 axes....Tom just let out an honest laugh...."Yeah...and you only need one
"
He didn't like the frontman, singer role either...but that was what his band needed at that moment....he was just another member of a well oiled music machine that stuck together for decades...Tom said he could never have done the solo thingy....he was a team player with all of them being integral, and truly a band of brothers.
