RIP BB King

[TrickyNicky]

Lost a great legend today. Got to see him once and it was one of the best shows I ever had the privilege to see.

Rest in peace.  He had a good run.

Over the last few years, my musical tastes have completely moved over to Blues. BB King is a legend. He has been an influence on so many artists over the DECADES that he has been a musician. He really helped to form the genre. Artists come and go, and most will be forgotten, but centuries from now, people will still know the name BB King.

 

Rest in peace.

:sadwave:   RIP BB. 

 

 

He came to town a few years ago and I wanted to go but wasn't able to work it out.  I had a feeling that might have been my last chance.

I was lucky enough to see him once at a small venue in San Diego. It was by far the best show I've ever witnessed. The acoustics were great and he had a large band on stage that he seemed to control by thought. Truly impressive!
RIP!

A true legend in the music world. I guess he and Lucille will be re-united now.

 

R.I.P. Mr. King. You brought much joy to this world in your stay.

Can't say I am a fan but still, R.I.P, I am sure he will be missed by many.

[Mike.357]

got to see him several years ago with George Thorogood.   It was an amazing concert.

 

I am sure the BB King channel on Sirius will be extra awesome today.

BB King was one of the greatest musical influences in my life. I've listened to him literally since conception. My dad is a huge blues fan and I still have all the old vinyl albums with lots of BB in it. I've listened to many styles of music, but BB and Blues were always there for me. We have truly lost a legend that can never be replaced. It is a very sad day.
R.I.P. BB King.

His music helped me through some tough times. I got to see him once always wanted to see him again... Music has lost a great man.

[bersaguy]

I have always been a big fan of his and love his music. RIP BB and you will surely be missed

truer words have not been spoken about this man

 

Got to see him many moons ago back when Starwood Amphitheater was a thing...greatest concert I've ever seen. Crossed that one off my bucket list.

 

Loved his music so much I named my dog Lucille after his guitar.

 

We may feel this loss today, but his legacy will never end.

Saw him at the World's Fair Park in Knoxville several years back.  Great show and, I believe, a great man.

I never had the opportunity to meet the man, but his legend is eternal. Everyone I know that knew him always said that he was a wonderful human being, too. Godspeed, BB. Now, go show ol' Chet a thing or two.

[Woody]

A legend was lost for sure.   R.I.P.  

[R1100R]

I saw him in underground Atlanta the first time in 1976. Been a fan ever since.

He's a legend! May he rest in peace.

[TNWNGR]

He was a really nice fellow, I watched him interacting with other people and he was a genuine gentleman.

[Glenn]

I had the pleasure of seeing him 5 times. Once at a very small venue. One of the biggest musicle influences of the last 100 years.

Calm down Nancy, I'll stop and get a bottle of bourbon for you on the way home from work. You can turn all the lights off in the living room. We'll light a candle and you can have a vinylpalooza. I'll just be out on the pool. :-D

[Garufa]

:rofl:

[TrickyNicky]

My vinyl is locked in purgatory, er my parents basement, so I have to make due with you tube tonight. Aside from that though I think a candle and some bourbon are certainly in order for the evening.

Now that's just not cool, monkeyman. Giving the woman who has supported your gun fetish all these years a bit of grief ove her fondness of BB.

I mean, really...after she bought you all those nice toys recently. You should be ashamed.

At least sit beside her during the wake. lol

Yeah. The thrill is gone and Lucille's an orphan. But Mrs. M cut's to the end of the line and goes to the pool instead. That's what's known as having your priorities well grounded.  :D
