July 17, 201214 yr comment_526135 RIP. Listening to Made In Japan right now and fuck it sounds good. Lord's playing on Child In Time is so good. Report
July 17, 201214 yr comment_526136 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. Report
