Just heard about this. How the hell did he make it to 90?!!
Whatever people say about the man he changed music forever in a way few people ever have. Genius? Yeah I reckon so. Despite the unsavoury side of his character.... Some respect is due. He practically invented rock n' roll.
RIP Chuck Berry

Re: RIP Chuck Berry
As ever, trust the art and not the artist. I like Springsteen's quote about how important Chuck Berry was to Rock and Roll. He said something along the lines of 'The first time I heard a Chuck Berry riff, Keith Richards was playing it'.runcible wrote:Just heard about this. How the hell did he make it to 90?!!

EDIT: This took a while to find. It really says it all.
Legend.
RIP.

Re: RIP Chuck Berry
I give massive respect to Chuck Berry. Without him no Beatles, No Stones. Listen to his records. He didn't just write songs. He wrote Rock 'N Roll standards.

Re: RIP Chuck Berry
Chuck Berry an Icon when the word is thrown around to people not deserving,the man was a total Icon. Can't imagine Rock and roll without him . Another greatly influential musician gone. Such a defined guitar style and so many songs.
R.I.P. Mr Rock and roll.
