Absorbine_Sr Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 RIP. Listening to Made In Japan right now and fuck it sounds good. Lord's playing on Child In Time is so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Seriously. You wouldn't know it from listening to my music, but he was an enormous influence on my early playing. Tracks like "Child in Time", "Lazy" where he went crazy on the drawbars, and "April" is one of my favourite rock-meets-classical pieces ever. Gonna go play "Before I Forget" in memorium.
