Titled "A Hall of Appreciation, a Touch of Regret," Duff reflects on the April 14 evening after watching the TV broadcast of the event. "Watching that HBO Special made me sad -- for the very first time, perhaps -- that the original GNR didn't somehow stay together," writes McKagan. "It would have been a miracle if we did. If I'd known then what I know now, I would have done my part to try and rid that band of the caustic resentments and outside inputs that finally wore us down to a nub of what we once were, and what we could have come back from. Alas, it just wasn't in the cards."

Noel Redding, who died in Ireland on this day in 2003, was, according to his manager Ian Grant, "very kind-hearted and warm. Take away his role as the bass player in the largest rock trio of all time, and strip away all the glory of his musical career. As a human being he was a fabulous guy."

That rock trio was the Jimi Hendrix Experience, for whom the guitar-playing Redding switched to bass and ended up working on three seminal Hendrix albums.

Born in the seaside town of Folkestone in England on Christmas Day, 1945, Redding went the art school route into the music business, playing with various bands and culminating in a residency in Germany with the Burnettes. But it was going nowhere fast and Redding was contemplating applying to be a milkman when, in 1966, he saw an ad in Melody Maker.

He didn't get the gig for Eric Burdon's New Animals, but then fate intervened as Redding recalled in his autobiography, Are You Experienced? "Chas Chandler came up and asked if I could play bass. I said: 'No, but I'll give it a go.' So I played with a drummer, Aynsley Dunbar, a keyboard player, Mike O'Neill, and this American gentleman, quiet and very polite, who turned out to be Jimi Hendrix."

Thousands of people all around the world are listening to 'Open', it makes my heart leap with the knowledge that my music touches so many people and that music is a journey. Music should always be thought of as a very special part of our lives.

Only yesterday I was feeling a little lost and there in my heart were the melodies of the symphony for the 'New World' by Dvorak, at that moment my joy returned twice fold.

Remembering my beginnings, those first records I bought, Duane Eddy's 'Rebel Rouser'., The Beatles on the radio, so on and so on, I thank my lucky stars everyday that I make music and write songs that have inspired me to create 'Open'.

Hoping you get the chance to hear it.....many blessing..Jon Anderson
