Your post makes me laugh. Just because you are old and out of touch doesn't mean singers/performers today don't have talent. Today its harder to be a mega star because there are so many others out there ready to take your place. Plus, record companies want to make money, if the performer isn't in the latest music genre that makes money they drop them. Look at Darrius Rucker, finding success doing country. Do you honestly believe old Darrius made that decision himself? Nope, his people did.

As for long ago, your musicians were fueled on cocaine and ludes. Radio station DJ's were paid off to play music with money and drugs. Gregg was a herion addict along with booze and coke. Most of those guys were, they didn't have handlers (like today) to say "Hey dude, you need to chill or were dropping you, get your ass in rehab."  The 1960's and 70's were a free for all.

Check out Gregg's rendition of Skynyrd's Tuesday's Gone and of course his most popular hit that was played on Top 40 radio stations "I'm No Angel."




STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might head out this morning to buy  "Live At The Fillmore East" in memoriam.  I've been meaning to get it but put it off.  I usually buy an album (vinyl) once or twice a month.

RIP.

RIP.  The greatest white blues singer of all time.  Gregg was an incredible vocalist, as well as writer, and his music will live on forever.  Gregg's early 70's solo album titled, Laid Back, is brilliant, and as underrated as they come.

He sang on a song on a Brad Gillis (Night Ranger guitarist) solo record. Good tune.

That's about the extent of my caring.

Was married seven times, though?! Sounds like a real peach of a husband.

Same here.  I literally saw Warren Haynes perform about 2 hours after the news was announced on Saturday, and everyone was wondering if he would even perform.  After saying a few words to start the show, he went on to perform an incredible version of Dreams, and then brought up a couple other musicians and they absolutely brought the house down with an excellent version of Whipping Post to end the show.  Very emotional performance from Warren.   After the song ended, a guy in front of me, literally bawling his eyes out, turned to me and said, "that just made my whole fucking life maaan"  ;D

Memorable moment, that I'll remember for a long time.

Eat a Peach is a great album, not that the ABB only had one. They had many. I personally have always loved the song "Ain't wastin time no more". I've seen them with Dicky Betts several times, with D Trucks as well. Great musicians. Nothing wrong with not liking them or anything else, but saying it sucks because you either don't like it, or realistically, don't get it yet, is a bit silly. Dig a little further into his music and a little deeper within yourself and you might well change your mind.

typical getbig posters. they post when they dont even know the anything about the what or who the post is about. so they say crap and try to be funny and call person names etc. why? a person has died.  a man who has contributed much to this world thru real music and talent. not screaming a bunch of meaningless words with 50 lbs of chains around his neck and everyother word is fuck . he may not of been a great husband or even a great dad  but we dont know that or what has happened.  he had issues as does alot of people. remember him for his musical talent and what he brought to the world. dont make fun and disrespect but you ass clowns will because you have no respect no decency and no common sense. so go ahead with the childish replys  like "meltdown" and other stupid 'catch phrases" that you simpltons use. and remeber i wont get in a back and forth pissing match so your just wasting time( as always)

On a related note, I saw Derek Trucks play with his band when he was 12 years old. Just mind blowing that a kid that young could have that much talent and be on the road at that age. Always remember that when I see anything Allman Brothers related.

Derek Trucks is the best guitarist I have ever heard. I've played since I was a young kid but I only discovered him a few years ago. I've always loved the great Soul and Motown vocalists so to hear someone recreate that sound with a guitar slide was awe-inspiring.
