Which musician's death in the last 6 months has affected you the most?
For some reason Prince's death didn't afffect me at all. I like his music but the Prince from Purple Rain that we all love died in the 1990s.
Jed Speare's
>>64477414
No im p sure he died the other week anon
Because I'm a proghead Piotr GrudziĆski and Emerson
>>64477632
Agreed. I didn't like ELP, but his death was very sad.
Bowie and Scott Weiland the most, probably. Lemmy's up there.
My father
Bowie obviously

Lemmy, followed very closely by Bowie. Both were heroes to me.

He got in a fight over a girl as a child and his mate scratched his eye or something
>>64477348
Scott Weiland. Still bummed out about that.
Bowie
>>64477949
Wow. Your mom's a pussy. I could feel bad over the death of an artist but crying is bit too much desu.
Brian Douglas Wilson
>>64479029
She's a 60 year old woman. They cry rather a lot.
>>64479029
I cried like a baby when Bowie died, it's not that weird
>>64477632
Yup
Both and Bowie for me

Lemmy
I woke up at like 5am the day Bowie died. Wasn't working that day and if I had been i wouldn't have needed to get up until like 9 anyway, just felt like something was wrong. Turned on the radio and boom: Bowie's dead.
Fucked me up brah
>>64479241
The singer and guitarist both died on the same day, didn't they?
>>64477348
none of them
>>64479303
yeah it was fucked
>>64477748
>when he was in school his best friend was gonna meet up with this girl
>he told his friend that the guy bailed on him
>he told the girl his friend bailed on her
>planned to seal the deal on distraught girl
>best friend finds out
>punches bowie in the eye and leaves his pupil permanently dilated
what an icon
>another person affecting my life in any way
nope
>>64477348
Can't really bring myself to be sad about the death of someone I didn't really know. I guess that's because I don't really care about people unless I get to know them. Sounds pretty edgy now that I type it out
>>64479446
more like what an idiot
Why?
>>64481541
Because that hair was too good for this earth
>>64479029
I'VE BECOME SO NUMB
Aaorn Huffman (bassist of Harvey Danger)
mainly because he's the only musician whose died recently whose work I actually listen too
that and he was fucking young, only 48 years old when he died
>>64479029
>having an emotional connection to a musician
Bowie obviously.
>>64477348
George Martin, not even remotely close
Herbie Hancock
>>64479191
This.
>>64477869
kill you are self please and thank you
>>64482063
this will hit me hard
>>64481679
damn, didn't know this
Joe Skyward
Richard Lyons
>>64482749
Indeed. I had just discovered the ABCs of Anarchy (which is fantastic) and I found out he was dead. Then I read the official post from the band and it really hit me, they seem like crazy good people. Sad they're all dying so fast.
Bowie, its not even close
Bowie, its not even close...
and with Blackstar, i dont think any other artist made me think about mortality more than him
>>64477348
scottie
>>64477348
Prince.
I literally got teary over him a few hours ago.
Bowie
Eddie watkins
Prince upset me as I was a big fan for Purple Rain and Diamonds & Pearls, used to play a lot of Prince covers back in the early 90s. A real funky dude. I was also rustled by Glenn Frey, as I was a big Eagles fan when I was a kid in the 70s.
I was also whistful over Merle Haggard's recent departure, and had a thoughtful feel when I heard Dennis Davis passed.
But that last one really brings me back to what still rattles me today, when Bowie died. Man that was a real punch in the guts. I don't know about you young guys, but for me Bowie was an eternal presence.
I was born just after Ziggy Stardust was released and all through my childhood I remember new Bowie songs on the radio, it was like the passing of the seasons. I remember when he really hit his pop stride in the 80s, just when i was really getting into pop like Prince and MJ. Let's Dance and Tonight are still great listens to me.
I may have let Bowie slide when I was le angsty late teen and getting into metal and hard rock, but he was there putting out albums. But most of all I remember the recent renaissance I had with my Bowie relationship. How he just appeared with The Next Day, that exhibit at the V&A, and Nothing Has Changed.
Man I listened to Nothing Has Changed nonstop for months, and no lie I have just been churning his whole discography since then. I really enjoyed Sue as I'd really been into orchestral jazz like Darcy Argue and Maria Schneider, and hoped that Bowie would give me more.
He did, that Blackstar album was all I wanted and more. When I heard the leak here I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. I listened to it solid all weekend waiting for my local record store to get me a copy. Then that Monday came, I've been rocked ever since. ;_;
>>64477949
If only Amazon had delivered on time, David would still be with us
>>64479255
I firmly believed the man was immortal
>>64482927
That's what makes the difference, Bowie released a great album two days before his death. It hits hard
seriously no phife dawg yet
>>64479446
The guy went on to do some art for Bowie including the iconic covers of Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust. The eye thing was a boon for Bowie as it took attention away from his diamond dogs teeth.
>>64477348
Tony Conrad...
>>64477348
With Bowie I was completely crushed emotionally. Then Prince was added onto that, and now I feel dead and hopeless inside.
>>64482927
Man I love that album so much, but it hurts me every time. Those last two songs... :'(
I remember when Elvis and Lennon died. People were sad of course, but it didn't seem like such a massive loss as there were no shortage of music gods in the world. But now, every death is just a reminder that music as an artform is dead.
>>64477414
Prince is a fake-ass little Little Richard, he sucks.
>>64483755
Oh crap Mr. Weiland pointing out those doubles.
>>64486360
How old are you? Why are you here?
>>64486427
43. There are more of us than you would give credit. But I could ask the same thing, why are you here? There's no way I would have been here when I was a young guy, as I was off getting laid and partying.
So if you're implying this is some secret club for shutin neckbeards, all I can say is harden up you little faggot because you're dead already.
While Prince's death was quite sudden and Lemmy was pretty much knocking on death's door before his passing, David Bowie dying probably hit me the hardest in terms of these recent deaths.
That being said, the only death of an artist in the past few years that really struck me any hard was Lou Reed, since unlike Bowie and Prince, I had a decent amount of Reed's albums in hand when he went.
Prince and Maurice White.
>>64477869
Who?
This is about people who actually did things important to music.
Sincerely, one of my close friends.
He was an amateurish noisy outsider one man band, and I miss him.
The fucker died like 3 days ago.
Fuck cancer.
>Went to go look up Chris Squire
>He's been dead for almost a year now
Hold me
I guess i'll go with Keith Emerson then alongside
>>64477632
>>64481541
>>64487893
What important things did Weiland do?
>>64487842
this
>>64479303
>>64479425
No, the rhythm guitarist and their original singer they never recorded with died. Not the important ones
Bowie. He revived my spirituality.
ïžïž
Definitely prince. As a kid I'd always listen to "When Doves Cry" as well as "1999" with my parents.
David Bowie I honestly wasn't phased, just a little surprised for about 30 seconds.
Lemmy I also didn't care about because Motörhead sucks.
It's going to be sad mostly but I will honestly be a little bit happy to see him set free from this horrible, mean world.
Bowie because I'm a fan
Prince because I live in Minnesota
>>64477748
Some girl punch him like a dude ,"Hold your mad hands" he cried.
>>64482063
Fuck don't say that, goddammit.
None of the deaths "affected" me, but as a Motörhead fan it was definitely sad to see Lemmy go.
>>64489106
Awful opinions
you know whats funny?
nobody knew david bowie had cancer except for close friends and family until after he died.
lemmy didn't even know he had cancer until a couple days before his death.
that being said lemmy's death hit me hardest because he just seemed so immortal with all the shit hed survived already.

Prince and Rowland S. Howard.
Eddie Watkins, the old drummer for Polvo. Today's Active Lifestyles and Exploded Drawing were 2 of my all-time favorite albums

Definitely Bowie. Bowie's death really got me.
Lemmy and Bowie

Bowie is human slime, degeneracy at its worst.

Lemmy Bowie Phife triage
Tbh I haven't actively listened to any of the artists who died the past 6 months. I saw Lemmy live at a festival once and it was legendary. Only show I ever been to where the moshpit started before the actual music, Lemmy's pure stage presence was enough to make the crowd go in a frenzy. His death wasn't really surprising though, everyone knew Lemmy was in bad health for years.
Bowie's death affected me the most though. I have never listened to his music actively because the size of his discography put me off, but still even if you didn't listen to his stuff, he was an artist that everyone was familiar with, he was omnipresent. He has been active for so long and you just didn't expect him to die. I remember waking up on January 11th taking my phone and seeing the news 20 mins after his death was made public and it affected me a lot. I immediately sent a message to a friend of mine who I know is a big Bowie fan and practically grew up with his music, she told me she was in a lecture at that moment and she was shattered by the news. Not just the fact that he died, but how he died and how he crafted the scenario of his death with Blackstar fucked me up.
At least his death had something good to it and made me check out his discography. I don't regret it.

Same.
>>64477348
For sure Bowie dying was really powerful because he dropped a great album that after his death was obviously the desperate last grasp at putting something out into the world. Had it not been for that, I don't think I would have been as deeply saddened about his passing.
Prince dying is what has killed me. It doesn't seem real that he's gone. I was always patiently waiting for him to do another large tour where I could see him perform again. I only ever got to see him once live. He's my favorite artist and I don't think I can think of anyone else that I could have as deep a connection to. He's the only artist I would pay any large amount of money to see. His passing is way too soon and leave the world less. Although, the only up side I could see is that now the Vault will get raided and we'll have a new Prince album every year for the rest of my life time.

None. People get old and die, I don't know them personally so I don't bother getting upset over their death.

I get what you're saying 'cause that's how I felt it the first time I saw it. I liked it but felt nothing special. I liked 'Blackstars album cover' way better. Then, I decided to give it another try, and again, I felt nothing special. After a few months of giving it several tries and giving up, I saw the album at Target. So, I bought it and decided to give it one last chance. I looked at the album cover. It BLEW ME AWAY completely! Wow, how could I have missed it all those times. Now I can't get enough of it. I see it all the time. I even downloaded the whole documentary and live versions into my iPod. Reality is like a fine dish, some people have to try it several times to get its FULL POWER. It's not an album cover, just really awesome picture that make the album unique. In my opinion, there is no better album cover, nor will there ever be, than David Bowies 'Reality'
