Riffster Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I was 11 when Lennon died, I had just started listening to the Beatles from a friend that had some tapes. I will never forget that day and the day after. I still have some newspaper clips... The other death that shocked me was Cliff Burton's. I could not believe when I heard the news. I have always been a Metallica fan from the very beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Allen Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I definitely agree with KSG about SRV. I'd also add Rory Gallagher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikko18 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 not many have died in my life time but i know that there is buddy miles and mitch mitchell (R.I.P.) and also lynyrd skynyrds pianist (i always forget his name) and possibly allen collins too. i have been thinking and feeling sad lately though because lots of great musicians are going to die in my lifetime. also i have to say that even though it wasn't in my life time it makes me sad when i hear about hendrix and SRV.

RudyH Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 John Lennon because it was such a terrible tragedy that he be murdered. George Harrison because he was too young to die I never felt a pang of sorrow for the druggies like Hendrix and Garcia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Being a huge Beatles fan certainly John and George top my list. I guess if I had to pick one it would be John's tragic shooting. It was just such a shock and after not making any music or appearances for 5 years he was back with double fantasy. Just gives me a sick feeling thinking about it now. Of course with George we knew he was not well and you kinda had the feeling he was fighting a losing battle. It was not any less of a loss but not as shocking as Johns violent death.

retrosurfer1959 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Good question different! Answer Daune Allman and Jerry Garcia don't know why really never loved the music but John Denver was a wierd one so tragic that they couldn't even recover the body just pieces! I'm shocked nobody listed Sonny Bono??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Definately SRV for me. It was so sudden and he was at the top of his career. I remember hearing it on the radio while driving and I almost pulled over I was so shocked. I was a little young to have been affected by Lennon, but I can appreciate how shocking it was now.

wicked1 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I remember hearing about SRV's death on MTV news my very first day of college. Didn't affect me anymore then than it does now. Though I suspect I would've felt quite differently had it been Eric Clapton who died in that crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:oilpit: Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I really haven't had any of my musical influenced die when I was old enough to care, and all the people I would list, have already been mentioned.
