Greg Lake died. :(

[Mushtang]

I just heard that the second member of ELP to die passed away today. Greg died after a long battle with cancer. I'll be listening to a lot of ELP music again for the next few days.

Man, what a year.

Sad news. The original King Crimson album was one of my favorites.

I am incredibly bummed right now. RIP.

Would 2016 just get over? We've lost so many legends this year... Enough Already!

What a lucky man he was

 

[Bat-mite]

Holy crap! I did not know this. Haven't looked at news yet.

RIP, symphonic rock genius.

A must see concert/documentary DVD by another symphonic rock genius showing the story of his family's history behind the story told in the album, "The Wall."

As a bassist and prog rock guy I am bummed. Very talented man. Been a rough year.

 

[MaxQ]

Tis the season.

Guess I won't hear him play his one ever again....with Tull's Ian Anderson.
Except in vids.

Back in the mid 80's they had a brief stint with Cozy Powell, called themselves Emerson, Lake and Powell. Caught the show at Reunion Arena in Dallas....we were only a few rows away from Keith and Greg doing an acoustic Lucky Man, sitting on bar stools. It was amazing and I can still remember it clearly.

Damn - first Keith Emerson and now Greg Lake! 2016 took two thirds of my all-time favorite band away!
