Brad Delp dead

[HEK]

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

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.

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.

Banks,

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
