Give me BB King any day. No makeup, no ladies clothes and hair.

Just music.

You know this is a tribute thread.

Bowie was a ******* genius who wore ladies clothes with aplomb. It's not a competition, it's a tribute.

This is not the greatest thread in the world, this is a tribute...

Fml Jon English has died

A very sad day for Australian music. Such an enduring star. He brought a lot of pleasure to a lot of people. Will be missed.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Noooo. Was just talking about him recently.

Some great songs, stage performer, actor. Dead set Aussie legend.

Same. Bobby was a great character.

Old Black Eyes will be missed. I was looking forward to seeing him at one of the APIA concerts at the Palais. I heard a couple of his songs today and they have stood the test of time. He was a trooper, an all rounder who was adept on the stage, TV or fronting a band. How lucky are we that £10 bought so much?

Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake & Palmer Has Died.

Suicide in this case........sad.

Terrible news. ELP were the Kings of Prog Rock. So pretentious but I ******* loved it. Emerson was the showman of the band. Performances would see him playing with his Hammond organ while playing it. He'd toss it around, he'd stab it with knives and the fans loved it. Beneath it all he was a seriously good musician. I shall get out my copy of their self titled first album and celebrate the gifted Keith Emerson.

Just heard that Merle Haggard passed away about 10 hours ago...

Legend of the country music scene.

Dennis Davis (drummer/percussion) with Bowie has also just passed away from lung cancer. Started playing with Bowie during the Young Americans. I am listening to Low right now and his playing is brilliant. No surprise really because Bowie always surrounded himself with brilliant musos.

[OnceWeWereKings]

Musical genius. yes, it gets bandied around more than it should, but it is truly apt here.
Bowie and now Prince, what a huge drain on musicians that can inspire.
Truely sad day.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Watched him as a young man strut around with his ass cheeks hanging out and thought "just another showboat"
Then he played "that" solo on guitar......
How wrong was my first impression.

 

[Kramer1]

Once in a generation artists? If not, they're pretty damn close.

Not even once in a generation I reckon Harks...just once.

Unparalleled musicianship. Amazing guitarist.Love his three minute face melter at the George Harrison Hall of Fame gig. Takes ownership of the stage at 3.30

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Oh no!

 

[Aphrodite]

No words!

R.I.P Prince Rogers Nelson

Enigmatic. Musician. Performer. Artist. Songwriter. A modern day dandy. A sad day.
