NJS 4389 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Only really get these threads when it's someone who means something to me. First band I ever got into were Deep Purple. I've always preferred guitar based music but some stuff does prove keyboards can have a place in rock - and this bloke was the epitome of that.

Ayatollah Hermione 13894 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 RIP indeed. Live in Japan features him completely taking the piss out of everybody on Earth who has even entertained the idea of playing keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I've seen him live 3 or 4 times with my dad. Deep purple, Black Sabbath and Ac/Dc were the first 3 bands I got into as a youth thanks to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
