To me as a kid, his character was the one I most related to. ..71 does seem young, I would have thought he was older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them in Rochester back in the day. They came up from under the stage. Keith Emerson was incredible. Plays his keyboard upside down and it was one hell of a concert. I always thought they were one of the most unheralded and under rated bands ever. Fabulous threesome like Rush were also. Do you have any details of what happened to Lake? As far as I know Emerson and Palmer are both alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepscoda Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 "Certain things you learn through exposure. It's really the elements which make up any artist. You really learn by example. You learn by influence. And some people have a huge impact on you, and that's how you become the artist you are." ~ Greg Lake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Someone better put Carl Palmer under 24-hour guard. Two-thirds of ELP wiped out this year. Because my dad loved ELP, I was a fan mostly for sentimental reasons. But I also love Greg Lake's contributions to King Crimson.

I agree ... I shook his hand. One of the few times I've been in awe meeting someone. He was almost 70 at the time and had a handshake like a vice grip. Rest In Peace to a true American hero.
