Happy Jack Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Extraordinary to think he was several years older than my Dad! I grew up listening to Chuck and Elvis and The Beatles. So that's just Sir Paul and Ringo left ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 THE reason I started playing music. Absolutely gutted, a legend. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Truly one of the original legends. Perhaps a flawed genius in his later years, but that shouldn't detract from his contribution to music and the influence he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Always a genius. RIP Chuck. Treated very badly in the beginning and, sadly, spent the rest of his life trying to get even. There will be a lot of Chuck Berry songs being added to set lists around the world over the next few weeks.

BrunoBass Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 An originator and a pioneer the like of which doesn't exist anymore. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 RIP. Very sad news! He's one of the very few musicians and songwriters who's songs we all will have played at one time or another in our own musical careers. As such, his reach and influence can't be overstated.. As Jack said, only Sir Paul and Ringo left now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 While he didn't invent the electric guitar solo, he's certainly the guy who brought it to the masses. Everyone who's ever played in a guitar band, from whatever genre, should be doffing their cap today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Jale Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) The first poet of rock'n'roll, the great R&B-to-pop crossover pioneer, inventor of the guitar riff, practically. What a legend. I'd say Paul'n'Ringo are in another, later category... there's only Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard left now.

Grangur Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 There would be SO many musicians we have been enjoying over the years who would never have started, if it weren't for Chuck. Thank God for Chuck Berry. RIP He was the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Roll Over, Beethoven. Another great is on the way. I guess, at some point in our gigging lives, we have all played a Chuck Berry song. Which is quite remarkable. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandad Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) [url="https://twitter.com/stephenking"]https://twitter.com/stephenking[/url] - I like that line too, "The coolerator was crammed with TV diners and ginger ale".

Paul S Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1489879046' post='3260583'] What can you say about Chuck Berry, except legend [/quote] Some people might add he was a pervert and one of the nastiest human beings on the planet. But, yes, musically the world would be a very different place but for his genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
