This strikes me pretty deeply - ELP and The Nice were some of my earliest prog finds and loves, they've always brought me so much enjoyment. The derision, as you all know, is undeserved, as those bands' music is at the least the most fun you can have outside a house of ill repute, if not sometimes just stunning displays of composition and playing. Emerson had a knack for translating age old orchestral pieces and styles into his rock in a way that no other progger could even dream of doing themselves. And his demand that he bring a mega-Moog on stage was just the best use of '70's rock star extravagance. RIP, man. -------------

I rarely post anymore, but there's nothing to bring me out of the woodwork like the loss of Keith Emerson. The man was the Hendrix of the organ in his era. No one played like Keith; none of his peers (there were none) could touch him. The Hammond to him was a guitar, and he wielded it as such. Before Keith, the keyboard was just a part of the band. Think about it. Who were his predecessors in rock? Alan Price? Doug Ingle? Ray Manzarek? Rod Argent? They all played a couple of iconic riffs. But who transformed what an organist could be? It was Keith. He borrowed heavily, sometimes to the point of plagiarism. So what. So did every rock musician. And this is not even touching upon his pioneering synth work. Yes, in the later years he turned into a caricature of himself. That in no way negates his primeval influence on the genre this site celebrates. Man, I am depressed. RIP Keith. ------------- Can you tell me where we're headin'? Lincoln County Road or Armageddon. |

I'd thought him a balanced gifted fellow who'd escape from depressing feelings and die a very old happy brother whose eyes shine, that just laughs at everything and doesn't care about health problems. Now in the rock'n'roll world, we hear those drums that sound like weapons...A "bullet in his head" is tuned to his impetuous showmanship and lifestyle somehow. Let's do better than him if we can, if we're in similar condition, and treasure the amazing works.

| This bothers me so much, that words can't even describe, and then to hear it may have been a suicide was shocking to me. Mostly , I feel empty, but I am beginning to also feel the stirring of a real, palpable rage towards Jann Wenner and his crap Rock and Roll Hall of Stupidity that sees fit to acknowledge absolute dreck, but ignores Yes and ELP, and King Crimson. Mostly I feel regret, that in the past 2 years, and especially so far in 2016, we have lost many of the greats of music, from Daevid Allen and Chris Squire, to Bowie, and now Keith Emerson. How is this possible? |

I immediately thought of the piano improvisations from their 1974 live album. But I was not expecting "suspected suicide". At 71 I was expecting more elderly aliments. Too shocked by the fact he might have taken his own life. And worse, all the know-nothings in the Media will be all "lol! He wore extravagant costumes!" but if they did their job then they'd make more of a note that Keith really was our greatest keyboardist in Prog. I've looked at tomorrow's headlines and not a single one have Keith's death on the front.

RIP Keith - your Moog and Hammond were part of the soundtrack of my life. Devastated about the news and even more so by the circumstances being reported. My heroes are falling and I'm seriously getting down when the likes of Chris Squire and others are passing away. I was only listening to the wonderful 'Three Fates Project'' the other day, and a dose of Karn Evil 9, Hoedown and 'The Endless Enigma' was called for tonight. Tears in my eyes during the 'Fugue' section. The World is an emptier place tonight. Deepest condolences to family and friends.

Immediately thought of this forum and how very many of us admired Keith and his musical skills - his genius! This has been a very big shock for me personally, as I have always been a fan and admired him greatly. Now "they" are saying he committed suicide!. If this is confirmed, it will not lessen the sadness that I feel for the man and his music. As with the passing of David Bowie, this has been a defining and tragic start to 2016 as these ageing rockers succumb to mortality! R.I.P. Keith -------------

Not aware of his recent hand surgeries, but in the 90's Keith was diagnosed with ulnar neuropathy (I know it very well because I experienced the same injury at about he same time). Ulnar neuropathy causes tingling and numbness especially in the ring and little finger and if not corrected can lead to debilitating weakness and loss of motor control. Rather than a conservative "cubital tunnel release" which attempts to take the pressure off the nerve by opening up the nerve channel and removing a small portion of the surrounding soft tissue, Keith underwent a very aggressive procedure called a nerve transposition. In that approach, the "funny bone" nerve is moved from the outside of the elbow around to the top of the arm. The thought is by relocating the nerve you completely remove it from the cubital tunnel to fix the problem...unfortunately, this in essence moves your "funny bone" from your elbow to the top of your forearm and has a very small percentage of success. When my surgeon was recommending a cubital tunnel release, we discussed the nerve transposition option. I'll never forget his words, "I'm not a religious man, but I believe God put your ulnar nerve across your elbow for a good reason and I don't recommend moving it." My surgery was completely unsuccessful, but luckily a couple years later I found a DO (Osteopath) who was able to reduce the symptoms to a manageable level without surgery. I've always wondered if Keith's nerve transposition surgery (or any other recent ones I'm not aware of) actually helped or just caused more problems? The thought of being able to play like Keith, but not physically able to do so would drive anyone to despair. ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

The sad fact is when those who have reached the absolute pinnacle (Hunter S. Thompson and David Foster Wallace come immediately to mind, although neither were musicians) and can no longer perform to the standard they have not merely set for themselves but also defined for a generation and beyond, and can no longer perform at that level, well...I am sure Hendrix and Emerson are now playing in another universe and DFW is writing the lyrics and Hunter S. is rocking with the band.

At least we got Keith for as long as we did; when you think of Hendrix, SRV, and others like Bruce Lee, Lenny Bruce, they seemed to peak and die at the same moment, and far too soon. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

| Another great loss for rock music, and specifically for progressive music. One of the true heroes of the keyboards. May the Lord of all creation grant him peace. |

 He was the best prog musician Ive ever heard in my life , I don't think I`m alone feeling that way about him .. I`m devastated by this news .. may not eat today don't think I can. So soon after Chris Squire my favorite bass player ever. Still cant imagine Keith Emerson gone or a world without his playing ... through your music Keith I learned to love you, now your music is all that remains, I still feel I can visit you in a sense through your works, its moments like these we find out how deep music really is. |
