Poor Shawn, still surely he's playing solos up there in heaven. Sad to hear how every single rock star, master, and exceptional player dies. In memory of Shawn. OZi

I like many... have been inspired by your existance and your music. I was first intoduced to your playing 18 years ago when a friend of mine had contacted you by phone and you were kind enough to send us video footage of you playing at local clubs in your home town. The things I have learned from these videos and your later works will continue to inspire me as well as my students for years to come. God Bless

I have found your music, yet you are not here! I hope your artistic soul is in heaven! I'm truly stunned by your guitar technique and vision of music! I really have to dig in your music more to understand more! Kindest regards, Mike

🙂 I saw Shawn together with Jonas Hellborg in the middle of the 90`s at a concert in Mainz/ Germany. I still remember I was sitting there with my friends and we didn`t quite understand what`s going on on stage, it was music from another planet, just great ! Shawn rest in peace !

🙂 I met Shawn when he and I were both on the same tour with Black Oak Arkansas. I have remembered him always though we never saw each other after the tour. He was a wonderful person and very talented..very respectful and nice to a lady as young as he was at the same time...and being in an adult forum. I am sorry for our loss. He and I both suffer with psoriasis and I understand what he has and did go through..I still battle it daily and pray daily that it does not pass to my daughters nor grandchildren. I wish the best for you. And know that his presence is still strong to this day with those whose lives he only touched for moments. I did not know that he was suffering with this..though we mostly keep it to ourselves...I wish I had known before..lots of love and prayer for you family always.

Quite simply the best guitarist in the history of this planet. God Bless you my friend - you are with the angels making glorious music with the King of Kings. Thank you for the gifts you have given (and continually give) this world. In Christ.

I barely knew Shawn in tha late 80's, which is to say I came to enough gigs to meet him and have him eventually recognize me. We all know about the incredible beauty of his music, but I hope everyone also knows his was a beautiful soul. I saw him routinely treat strangers as friends before walking on stage to prove he was not even of this earth! What a blessing to have walked the planet during his lifetime. Thank you so much for keeping this site running, truly.

vou falar, em portugues, pois nao me importo se alguem vai ler ou nao, eu apenas quero expressar oque tenho vontade, Eu quero dizer que a morte de shawn lane, é uma das perdas mais fortes que a musica mundial pode ter tido, isso me entristece profundamente, pois as criatividades desse musico, nao vao mais poder tocar os ouvidos de pessoas como eu adoradores da guitarra, que procuram irrefutavelmente, talentos como esse, e posso dizer que igaul a Shawn Lane nao viram mais, é uma pena.

Well this is great that I found this page. I was just turned on to Shawn about 3 months ago and I have been nothing but amazed by his talents. His passing was a sheer tragedy. Another amazing guitarist stricken with a fatal illness, reminds me of course of Jason Becker and the amazing metal master Chuck Schuldiner(RIP). I thank the mother and nephew for keeping his legacy alive...

I wrote Shawn back in 2000, I don´t know if he ever received my letter, I wrote him about how cosmic his music and approach seemed to me, I imagined this was little before he started the band with Jonas Hellborg... I hope he get it, I just want to share how much I love his music and how much I miss his soul in this world... Cheers to everybody
