bucketfoot Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Wow, just seen this news, another legend gone. 90 years is a decent old age though. RIP Chuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely got his money's worth. Had to fight for a lot of it though, so it's said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 He was the real king of rock and roll. Everyone else were just pretenders to the throne. His life should be celebrated. 90 years on this earth. He was a gift to humanity. Going to listen to some Chuck Berry now. You all should do the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Not that 90 is a bad age to make it to by any means, but man, this hurts. I'm looking forward to the new album when it drops which will be a mighty fine parting gift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Imagine if some ancient symbols were some far out rock n roll lyrics sent from an alien civilization in space... I think that's awesome that we sent some rock n roll into space on a crazy gold disc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 ... and so the hyperbole begins. Don't get me wrong, I fully acknowledge the influence this guy had on popular music over the last 70 years. But having said that, some people are more influential than they are great themselves, and as unpopular and controversial to the hipsters as this may sound, I think Chuck Berry fits into this mould. The majority of the general public would only recognise one Chuck Berry song, and lets face it, once you know one Chuck Berry song, you know them all. They all sound the same. But it was that style that went on to influence so many others, who took what he did, and made something bigger and better out of it. Chuck may have been one of the early pioneers, and he indeed deserves his dues for that, but anybody who claims that he did it best is lying to themselves.
