I am crushed by this news. Welcome back my friends to the year that never ends. There had been rumblings and rumors about Greg's health, so this doesn't come as quite the bolt from the blue that Keith's death was. Still, what a blow.
I had just been listening to Tarkus last night, hearing it for the very first time in surround sound. Such an unbeatable classic, and a huge influence on my own personal musical development. (I'd hear a little rhythmic grouping and think, "Yeah, that's something I would do--this is where I learned it!") This morning, I played the ELP debut on my morning commute. That iconic Moog finale to "Lucky Man"--which came on just as I got to my desk--has always felt like a lament to me, like a bagpipe pibroch, and it was sadly fitting this morning. Father Christmas, please take 2016 away.

Well, I guess this is the official thread, so I'll comment here as well. Certainly a distinct voice and his work with King Crimson and ELP won't soon be forgotten. Don't recall reading about his cancer (though it may have been public knowledge), but a strong blow from 2016 again. RIP

I've just finished playing From the Beginning on my acoustic guitar. It's more than 30 years that I use it to warm my fingers. But nobody will ever sing it with that voice. Greg Lake was tge best progressive vocalist, at least my favorite. Another enormous loss.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Died earlier today from cancer, aged 69.
There's not much I can say other than the man was a musician's musician. And someone I've listened to for a long, long time.
RIP. |

RIP. Of all of this year's losses, this is probably the one that's hit me the most. An incredible voice lost.

Horrible news, may he rest in peace. His work on In the Court of the Crimson King will stick by me until I die.

Oddly enough, I just picked up Court of Crimson King CD at a record show recently since it has been long gone from my collection.
May this year just go away... RIP Greg! One of my favorite vocalist.

He wrote his own epitaph a long time ago
The wall on which the prophets wrote Is cracking at the seams Upon the instruments of death The sunlight brightly gleams When every man is torn apart With nightmares and with dreams, Will no one lay the laurel wreath As silence drowns the screams Between the iron gates of fate, The seeds of time were sown, And watered by the deeds of those Who know and who are known; Knowledge is a deadly friend When no one sets the rules The fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools Confusion will be my epitaph As I crawl a cracked and broken path If we make it we can all sit back and laugh, But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying, Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying, Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be dying RIP Greg...  And thanks for the music. |
