Now Keith Emerson is gone...

I loved the guy. He and ELP got me into music on a level I hadn't experienced before. Heck, I liked ELP long before I got into the Beatles.  Keith Emerson led me to (then) Walter Carlos which led me to love classical. I never got enough of them. 

So sad to hear about how he may have gone.

All the best,
Nonoise

Huge sad loss, what a great talent, never to be replaced, R.I.P.

Keith Emerson turned the keyboard to the main instrument, no-one before him couldn´t do that. He became the master of the Hammond and Moog, the mightiest player of them all. He took symphonic classical music to another level, he made classical to rock´n´roll. "Pictures at an Exhibition" (March 1971) is a live recording rock version from Modest Mussorsky´s symphony, its Blue Variations section adds extra drama to this quite incredible performance of a simple rock group. 

I will play Intermezzo from Karelia (Sibelius) and Jerusalem in his memory.

Keith, after all your work there´s no more pain, now you have peace.
Thank you for the music.

Why the hell would you post that crap in a thread like this...???
