RIP Mike Pinera

Post by scotty » Fri Nov 22, 2024 8:38 am

Former iron butterfly and early 80s Alice guitarist Mike Pinera has passed away at the age of 76. He tossed me a pick at my first alice show that I still have somewhere!

Sorry to hear that, songwriting credit on Vicious Rumors too, one of the better songs on the Special Forces LP.

Saw him with Alice three times on the Special Forces Tour.
There are pictures below of those shows in the pic section.
Very nice guy and one hell of a guitarist and singer.
