hitmanhart408 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 aww thats sad. While I don't know much about him or his music I do understand that he was a legend and why. I think I may just have to go listen to his stuff now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Slash told NME.COM that Diddley greatly influenced countless musicians, and the Bo Diddley beat was the inspiration for GUNS N' ROSES' song "Mr. Brownstone"."He's a huge hero of mine and the fact that he knew who I was was a huge compliment," Slash said."Bo Diddley created a myth that was uniquely his own. An entire rhythm is owed to just one guy and that's pretty rare," he said.Slash pointed out that Diddley touched a vast array of artists from THE ROLLING STONES to GEORGE THOROGOOD to GUNS N' ROSES."He was such a trooper and a timeless individual. I'm hoping the pioneers of rock like Bo Diddley won't be forgotten." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
