This is terribly sad news. I'm pretty sure I heard that Boston was working on a new album.

Very upsetting.

Good band with good songs.

Besides family and friends, there are few deaths that I would call very upsetting.

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

Banks,

You're right. If you died I would not be upset.

That said, I had to click the link to remember the guy. Now it comes back to me. Man that first album of theirs was among the best of all-time. In addition to a great artist, the world just lost another Charlie Manson look-alike.

He can still play the part of John Lennon or George Harrison.

Yes, but would you dispose of my porn before my family found it?

Banks,

Obv.

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

I agree with banks. Who cares if celebrities who don't put out anything good anymore die.

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

More than a feeling is one of the top five [censored] rock songs of all time.

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

Playing for a week in Rhode Island
Man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar
Drove a Cadillac car
And said, "Boys, I think this band's outta siiiiiiiiiiiight"

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

This was my favorite band when I was in high school and college.

Now you're climbing to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone

I understand about indecision
I don't care if I get behind
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind

R.I.P. Brad Delp.

It's human nature to feel some sort of emotion when somebody who has changed your life in the slightest of ways passes away. No, nobody KNEW Brad Delp or really cared for him, but hearing this makes people feel sad.

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

Banks,

You sound like an ass!

I'm gonna go play some more than a feeling on guitar hero right now as a tribute.

Thank you for this post. For some reason reading those lyrics affected me more than hearing them all the times before.

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

I saw him play in Beatlejuice(sp?), his Beatles cover band quite a few times. The guy was amazing.

Of course it natural to feel some emotion. Anytime a human being dies its sad. But you see it all the time when a celebrity or semi-famous person dies that its a "tragedy" or "very upsetting". I find it a bit disigenuous. I was asking the poster why it was "very upsetting". Did he know him or was there a special reason.

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

Banks,

Best play for everyone here was probably for you to not post in this thread. Just saying.

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

I read this in one of the articles about his death and thought, assuming your question is a serious one, that it answered it better than I (a 40-year-old has been/never was) could:

Some people never tire of any of it, I realize, and for them, this is a case of one of the voices of their youth dying. Brad Delp was certainly never a rock god like Robert Plant; he wasn’t even Steve Perry, really, in terms of stature. But he was every bit as popular at a certain time in pop music history. His voice became a major element of the soundtrack to millions of people’s lives - and at a very specific time in their lives.

Re: Brad Delp dead
 

For reasons that are beyond me, EE Times posted an unflattering obit for Brad Delp

I guess since one of the Boston founders was an MIT graduate it makes Delp fair game. Overall though it was a really, really weird place to talk about Brad Delp.

suicide

Re: suicide
 

Wow, Dom, thanks for that post. The fact that he committed suicide is even more disheartening.

Re: suicide
 

All,

Updated story at CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Musi....ap/index.html

Re: suicide
 

So sad. He was a great talent. I saw Boston in 1987 on the Third Stage tour and he could still hit all the high notes perfectly.

Re: suicide
 

Weird that he had a fiance and was a few months from being married, but was still so depressed he killed himself. Also strange for a singer from a major band to end up doing cover songs of another band.
