“The one who plays different, has some of his own, that’s the one you’re gonna remember.”

Geezer Butler took to social media as he wrote: “Sad to hear of Leslie West’s passing.”

“Such a lovely bloke. He was fantastic to us when Sabbath supported Mountain on our first US tour. He came to see us at Mohegan Sun, even though he was wheelchair bound. Mississippi Queen one of, if not the, greatest riff of all time. RIP.”

Tom Morello, the star of “Rage Against The Machine”, wrote: “Rest In Peace #LeslieWest. His guitar tone on ‘Mississippi Queen’ is hands down the BADDEST guitar tone on record.”
