And nobody cares. I say it again: Eddie Meduza is dead. The man responsible for hits like "Torgnys svettiga ansikte", "Punkjävlar", "Torsten hällde brännvin i ett glas åt Karin Söder", "EPA-traktorn", "Raggare", "Mera brännvin", "Evert", "Börje Lundin - nattens riddare", "Volvo", "Jag vill ha en brud med stora pattar" and "Hakan" is dead! It´s a terrible loss.

Kairo!!

Tragiskt, tragiskt, jag fick dödsbudet via DN i morse.
Jag blir nog tvungen att spela "Roaring Cadillac" på vinyl för att hedra mannen.
//Ë!

I don't know him either.. is there any relation between him and metal???

Eddie Meduza built his career on combining 60's rock music with funny lyrics. The song-titles say it all really: Torgnys svettiga ansikte (Torgny's Sweaty Face), Jag vill ha en brud med stora pattar (I want a chick with big tits) and so on...

I listened to him in the 80's when I was about 9 or10. Haven't heard much of him since, though I saw him live once in 1998....

He will be sadly missed...a rock legend here in Sweden...

No, he is/was a Swedish ragger. He sang oldstyled rock n´roll with uncultivated, swedish lyrics about booze, beer, women, Volvos and things like that.

Rest In Peace

No, he had nothing to do with metal. But his music is the best party music around!

Enos?! Har du hittat hit också? Välkommen! Du känner igen min bild från ANSTALTEN, va?

I guess that's why a lot of guys here (myself included) have never heard of him.. I was just curious
