I've been in love with Eric's playing for years now, when I was working in a music shop, my colleague was being taught by Eric. He was a great man, a real gent, and an incredible guitarist, theres not much else to be said that beats what has already been said about him. I just feel gutted I never got to see him perform.

Regarding Eric's musicality compared to Thomas Leebs, I've always preffered Eric Roche because he has more feel, more groove, more melodic lines, whereas Thomas Leeb is a little too clinical.

Check out "With These Hands" Erics best album without a doubt, every track a stunner.
