The world is responding to the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and among those paying tribute are rockers. 

Here are some of the words musicians wrote about the innovator, who revolutionized the music industry with the introduction of the iPod and iTunes:

•           Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider: “Thank you, Steve Jobs.  You rocked our world… and you never played a note.”

•           Sebastian Bach: “RIP, Steve Jobs.  Thanks for allowing me to put my whole CD collection in my pocket.  You have made air travel a lot more fun, among other things.

•           Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx: “RIP Steve Jobs.  Steve was of his era what Thomas Edison was to the beginning of the 20th century.  You made all our lives a better place.”

•           Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee: “RIP Mr. Jobs!  Excuse me… Mr. Incredible!”

•           Joe Satriani: “R.I.P. Steve Jobs.  I bet you’re busy right now revolutionizing and redesigning the afterlife for all of us to enjoy when our time comes.”

•           Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum: “Rest in peace, Steve Jobs.  The visionary master.”

•           Bret Michaels: “First, I must express my deepest condolences to Steve’s wife, Laurene, his family and friends.  He showed great strength and perseverance through his illness and    continued to be an innovator all the while remaining positive while fighting his battle with cancer.  I can only thank Steve for his innovation, inspiration and creativity while touching all of our lives in some way, shape or form.”

•           Former Kiss member Bruce Kulick: “For me, Steve Jobs’ vision as a creator and head of Apple has had a huge impact on my life. I have always said that the Apple products I am addicted to are vital to my business, and high on the list of things I use for entertainment value.  His genius will never be forgotten, and his devices have made me feel like I live in a time of wonderful sci-fi tools that have made all our lives more enjoyable.”
