He's responsible for my favourite bit of music ever (the intro to Shine On...). hydrargyrum Advanced Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 362 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Monday, September 15, 2008 - 1:07 pm:    Wow, quite a shock. I always thought that so much of what gave Pink Floyd their signature sound was due to him. "And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime." daveski Junior Username: daveski Post Number: 34 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Monday, September 15, 2008 - 1:24 pm:    Very bad news briant Advanced Member Username: briant Post Number: 228 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, September 15, 2008 - 6:11 pm:    :-( RIP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcd0sQLRHl4 terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 580 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 9:52 am:    Bloody hell!!!

He will be missed. My favorite work was Us and Them. What a great piece of music. Let us all Have A Cigar for Rick. dtrice Intermediate Member Username: dtrice Post Number: 176 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 11:49 am:    No hopes for reunion now. basstard Advanced Member Username: basstard Post Number: 226 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 12:44 pm:    He will be missed... :-( davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7073 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 20, 2008 - 9:32 am:    One of my all time favorite concerts was the Dark Side Of The Moon tour. Prior to Dark Side, I had listened to all the earlier albums as the drummer in my band had them all; and we loved them. So I was prepared for Dark Side, but it still blew me away; it was amazing. For years afterward, a friend and I would regularly go down to the record store and pickup a copy of Billboard to see if it was still on the charts. paulman Advanced Member Username: paulman Post Number: 322 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Saturday, September 20, 2008 - 7:49 pm:    Dang, my fave was The Great Gig in the Sky from Dark Side. The singing over Wright's piano parts give me shivers to this very day. Thou will be missed but not forgotten. qualloyd New Username: qualloyd Post Number: 3 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Sunday, September 21, 2008 - 5:16 pm:    Truly sad. It makes me feel so...mortal.
