Riverside Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 A sad loss, indeed. So long ago, too. I guess some of us are getting too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duende Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Dark Horse is so true! He was a great and often overlooked song writer and a very tasteful melodic guitarist. Cheers Cookie for the thread Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 He was only 58, too young. All Things Must Pass is one of those always replace (if something happedned to it)classic albums in my collection and his last few songs in the Beatles were phenomenal, he really came into his own.

RIP I agree, and the tribute that his friends made (Concert for George) may be the best live performance I have ever seen. I actually bought a Hammond console organ and Leslie speaker behind Billy Preston's solo on "Isn't it a Pity"... What it must have been like to see that show live...

Maybe the best concert film ever. If you've never seen it get it NOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Music, and the world, still misses the gentle soul of George. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8s9dmuAKvU&feature=fvsr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 And I'd add, since we have been talking about slide guitar a bit lately, George had a unique and immediately recognizable slide guitar technique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 More Hawaiian style than the normal blues style but very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Wow, nine years?!?!? Thx for the thread/reminder Cookieman. Gone too soon. I think he had a lot left in him. I still enjoy watching the 30 minute Traveling Wilbury's video. Those guys were just having fun and it was all George's idea. I think of all the Beatles, he was the most pragmatic and "down to earth" if you will. He was also not given enough credit for his ability with a slide, either. RIP George.

MrNylon Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 George was a bit under rated for his guitar skills, and his song writing. The man was incredible. His co-writing and rhythm guitar work with Cream on "Badge" is a masterpiece. A great loss. RIP George, indeed. December 8th, remember John as well.

Riffster Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 George is very much missed, may he rest in peace. Sam Brown blew my mind singing Horse to the Water on that Concert for George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The unsung "hero" of The Beatles...IMHO. I sure do miss him! And, quite often, I liked his songs, the best...even his very early one "Don't Bother Me"...was like my anthem, in High School. LOL He had the best looking (first) wife, too! Pattie Boyd...WooF! ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Better times with that one. (I Need You) Great vid. .... Though it musically looks simple from a sheet of paper, but I like the way in how it speaks pain, longing and acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
