Yipes! Not a big fan of ELP, but they were a notable band. Very sad to see that.

And wow! She is 52 years old?!

The only band I could think of where people actually hung around for the drum solo.

I respected ELP, but preferred Yes.

I read that KE shot himself because of a progressive neurological condition affecting his playing. No way for a musician to go out...

Rush?

I like drum solos.

Latin music is all about percussion.

Emerson's death has been ruled a suicide:
Rock musician Keith Emerson, who was found dead last week, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Los Angeles coroner's office has ruled.

Ed Winter, a spokesman for the county Medical Examiner's Office, confirmed the death was ruled a suicide.

The keyboard player also had heart disease and depression brought about by alcohol, the coroner's report said.

Very sad. I still enjoy their music.

Rush?

Good call.

I'm not big on Rush, but their technical ability.. damn.

My favorite are these Greg Lake solos.
