Chuck Berry is dead.

Harry Palmr

One of the originals and a genuine great of the classic rock 'n roll era.

Motorvatin' was one of the first albums I bought - 22 brilliant tracks.

Chuck berry died; but he's alright now.

Squall Leonhart

Not a terribly nice person by all accounts, but his contribution to music can not be overstated.

Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll!

He influenced a lot of bands, musicians.

RIP Chuck.

I usually don't involved with these kind of threads, but this is the exception.

Between himself, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, James Brown, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Fats Domino and the Everly Brothers.

They made Rock N' Roll.

You forgot Johnny B Woode :pac:

Quite simply the greatest rock & roller of them all. Hit after hit & classic after classic. Throw in unique & instantly recognisable guitar sound, great live performer & usual at the time wrote all his own stuff.

Feckin 2017, when will you let up!

Chuck punched Richards in the face for daring to touch his guitar

Summer wind

Absolutely and truly one of the greatest artists ever. I have always loved his music especially "You Never Can Tell" "Johnny B Goode" "Rock & Roll Music" and "Brown Eyed Handsome Man". Thanks so much for the memories and fantastic music. May he Rest In Peace.

He was 90, believe it or not everyone dies. 90 is more than average life span.

Ally Dick

I wonder what became of his camcorder collection

Richards really learned the true meaning of the idea that you should never meet your idols.

There's everyone and then there's genuine superstars such as Chuck. The sooner we see the back of 2017 the better.

One of the great rock n roll originators of all time. RIP Sir!

Elmer Blooker

If it wasn't for Chuck Berry the Beatles and the Rolling Stones probably would never have existed. In bleak post war 1950s Britain John Lennon and Keith Richards had nothing to do except listen to Chuck Berry records and try to copy the riffs and we know the rest....

Bit of a rascal and that's being kind to the man.

Really natural player though, hugely influential & with a style all his own.

Would have loved to have seen him play live back when he was in his prime. From what I've seen online his shows were an absolute blast and his sense of humour between songs was razor sharp.

RIP.

BBDBB

An icon whose influence is heard still today in music and will continue to be heard for decades to come. Loved his music

RIP

TheMercenary

Hard to overemphasise how influential he was and easy to overlook how good he could actually play.

The rhythm of rock and roll imitating 19th and early 20th century steam powered machinery is observed and captured very well in Chuck Berrys song "Johnny B Goode" . Art imitates life and life imitates Art.

"Every day he's sittin' by the railroad tracks, making music to the rhythm that the drivers made."

May he rest in peace and be knockin' on heavens door....

Man was a true innovator for sure. R.I.P

As a mark of respect, I've spent the entire evening playing with my ding-a-ling.

Outlaw Pete

Sad news, but big thanks have to go to Marty Mc Fly, as if not for Chuck's brother hearing him play way back when, we'd have never even had a Chuck Berry.

How true.

Far too young. 2017, you're a bastard of a year, aren't you? When will all the death of natural causes and old age come to an end?

Am I doing the boards RIP thread thing correctly?

RIP Chuck.

Yes there is a video of him farting on hookers out there. He liked setting up little spy cams too.

RIP Chuck.
