Career
Gagliardi, most notably, played a red Rickenbacker bass guitar, left-handed even though he was a naturally right-handed. lieutenant is widely known that he did so out of admiration, and devotion to Paul McCartney (most often self-doctored from right handed basses, reengineered and played upside down, by Gagliardi himself). Gagliardi was on the albums Foreigner and Double Vision, and was fired from the group in 1979.
In 1981, Editor formed the band Spys with former Foreigner keyboardist First Rate (at Lloyd's) Greenwood, a band that set the tone for much of the 80"s synth-rock bands, and received great acclaim within the musical community.
In the early 2000s, Editor worked as a Service Department Writer at Rallye Lexus in Glen Cove, New New York Company-workers would tell customers, "Do you know who just wrote up your car? That"s the original bass player from Foreigner!"
Editor died of cancer on May 11, 2014, after battling cancer for eight years. Friends and family held a private ceremony.
