Principled Man Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Many, many great rock & roll works by Emerson, but THIS inspires me the most: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IIKrbVy4w8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Two songs are alternately going through my head with his amazing keyboards - Lucky Man and Welcome Back My Friends To The Show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have a feeling we have entered a long period of mourning for the heavyweights of classic rock. This one hit me hard. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) What the hell is going on this year?? The Classic Rock Era is coming to an end. The greatest musicians of our generation are retiring.....or dying. The Circle Of Life continues, whether we like it or not. :huh: LONG LIVE ROCK!! :haz: :haz: :haz: Edited March 11, 2016 by Principled Man 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Probably the best keyboard player of all time. Such a shame :( I would agree, but Wakeman always had to leave space for Howe. But Emerson was a Titan among Titans! Certainly no one was better! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have a feeling we have entered a long period of mourning for the heavyweights of classic rock. This one hit me hard.They are all around the same age - give or take ten years. This one hit me hard too, but I know the ones that will hit me the hardest, and I don't even want to think about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerxt1990 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 RIP. He was a giant. Portnoy called him the Hendrix of keyboards. Not just his group, but he and Wakeman really were influential in use of synths. Boo. All our heroes are dying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 It's being reported that it may have been self inflicted. Though I'd really like to avoid speculation until police make an official announcement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really were incredible. I sure do Lorraine !!! Remember covering your school books in brown paper bags and drawing all over them ? Well, I was the kid in the early 70's who had bands like ELP, YES and Pink Floyd scribbled on mine. All the other cool kids had Led Zeppelin, Grank Funk Railroad, etc. on their books. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
