A great band playing in the sky today: Moerlen on drums, Dean on sax, Barrett on guitar & vocals, Boz on bass & vocals. Great singer, great bassist. Bon voyage, Boz.

^^ like above, for some time Islands had been my fave King Crimson piece along with Lizard (later I learnt to appreciate Court more and more...)
RIP
btw, does anyone know it was Fripp who taught Boz to play bass?? very interesting. Though I have tendency to take everything on the internet with a pinch of salt; this is proven by two sources: AMG and wikipedia http://www.answers.com/Boz%20Burrell also see wikipedia entry for King Crimson: http://www.answers.com/topic/king-crimson#Wikipedia

 ...Oh, no!
I guess we're coming on that time, eh folks? Within a decade or two, many greats will pass on.
I always thought Islands was underrated by many people. It's a very mellow, beautiful album.

That's sad. He was the second best KC-singer IMHO. A unique and very english singing-style, and it suited "Islands" perfectly.

Recently i've been buying KC live albums, and my most two recent (Earthbound, Ladies Of The Road) featured Mr. Burrell. Always thought his voice had something special in it that made him different from all the other KC singers. Not my favorite, but still quite good.
Way too young.
 Rest In Peace.

Well I love the 70's albuns by KC, but I need to say that 'Islands' is the only one I dislike... Even 'Lizard' an album with an absent guitar (and I love this instrument) is a great work for me, but 'Islands'...
But, I'm really sad, because I like BAD COMPANY very much, and have all the Boz albuns with them.
Rest in peace Boz... You made a good job with these great bands...

Sad news, R.I.P. Boz.
I listened to 'Islands' earlier this weekend. Bad Company's debut will follow later on.

Some of his highlights as a KC member is his solid performance in tracks such as 'The Letters' and 'Cirkus', as registered in the official bootlegs that were released by DGM in the early 2000's. He should have been the lead singer in the "Lizard" album. I never got to listen to a live rendition of the beautiful, eerie 'Islands' ballad, but there he reveals his softer side as a vocalist, something unusual for an Englishman who had a deep kick for wild, raw American R'n'B.
Kind regards.

Every individuals death is a tragedy, but I never respected his contribution to KING CRIMSON. I guess he fitted better in the other bands he was into. I'm still sorry to hear this news, and I'm sorry for his family and his friends. |

Icon, your question of why? You are wise to like prog at such a young age. But with all youth, the idea of mortality hasn't really set in yet. As you age, this sad reality of life will sink in. People get old, sick and eventually the body wears out and we die (duh!  ), that's why. Scary?, it can be, but reality. And you are unique in the fact that most of your prog idols are much older than yourself, some 40 years older. Most people these days that are your age listen to pop garbage from artists only a few years older than themselves. I was lucky, because when I was your age, psychedelia and prog was the happening thing, and I was exposed to great music. You are also unique to have not followed the horrible mainstream path of pathetic pop music. You are wise to have gone out of the way to research and enjoy more artistic and much more interesting music. Remember and honor the legacy of these old prog school musicians. I'm not happy that these great musicians have left our world sooner than I'd like, but their good work and place in prog history is assured. I used to think Boz was the worst musician King Crimson ever had. But since listening to many of the "live" KC Collector's Club releases with him on it, I changed my mind. Even though in his heart of hearts he was a rocker (Bad Co. proves it), his contributions to King Crimson were admirable. May he R.I.P.The old sage- Dennis (52 years young) Edited by Dennis - September 23 2006 at 12:06 |
