I'll forgo the obligatory "off to the Great Gig in the Sky" reference.

LuketheXjesse Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Geez, he helped write one of their best albums, Wish You Were Here, which is also one of their best songs. I'll post it here for the heck of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DXCHa9BYfE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I read the news when I got home this evening. Seems kind of sudden, it wasn't too long ago that he was touring with Gilmour. RIP, Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiesty Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 this really choked me up as rick was one of my big influences. He's one of the forefathers of prog rock keyboards and though he wasnt always at the spotlight of pink floyd, he was the brains behind alot of the writing, especially in the early stuff. RIP rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowStorm Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 And yet another great musican has passed on. I'm not that big of a fan of Pink Floyd but I do enjoy their works. R.I.P. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
