Urban Bassman Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Most sad indeed. His playing on Tull's album Stand Up was a big influence on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Pisser. Rather underrated, knew his way round the fretboard and a tone/style that suited the band at that time perfectly. Occasionally ame across on the DVD documentaries as still being slightly miffed at being dispensed with but that was very much how IA operated, many more would follow. Otherwise seemed a decent bloke. Didn't he go to Australia and do something completely different from music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coilte Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This is very sad news indeed. Hi was a big influence on me when I was in my early teens. Thankfully, I got the chance to tell him so in an email I sent about two years ago, to which he replied with thanks. A very under rated bass player. R.I.P. Glenn.

arthurhenry Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I was shocked and sad to read the news here, but my head was instantly filled with some of the great lines he played and a sense of the tone, feel and character of his playing. If you want to become a better bass player, just learn some tracks from Stand Up and Benefit: Job done.

I love playing along to early Tull's music with Glenn on board. Another song I'd add would be his great walking bass lines on Roland Kirk's "Serenade to a Cuckoo" from the "This Was" album.

Tullfan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Had a day of playing Jethro Tull, their music has been the background to my life. Was at Martin Barre concert and came home to news of Glenn's passing. So sad we will never see them together on stage again. God bless RIP Glenn Cornick.

[/quote] My dad hated most of my rock music preferences, but could enter my room and say: "[i]... but this is nice![/i]", and it would normally be a Jethro Tull song. He could often be found whistling or humming "Song for Jeffrey", "Bourée" or "Living in the Past". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire5 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 On hearing 'Bouree' I spent the best part of 2 days learning that bassline,note for note including the solo.I can still play it from memory.Such a melodic line,played on an EB0 iirc?
