David Coscina 3 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I miss him. His music is awesome but I'm saddened that we have not had any new Goldsmith since his passing. I'm sure his family misses him a lot more than just his music though so I'll stop complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Eh, never really liked him.

Andy 4,090 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Jerry's music truly lives on for the legions who enjoy discovering his many little gems. Just got a chance to hear the Swarm for the first time yesterday. Fantastic stuff! He poured his heart into it, no matter what the project.

Ollie 1,059 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 One of the greatest film composers of our time. I still miss him, it was one of the few times I felt sadness over someone I'd never met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Coscina 3 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 One of the greatest film composers of our time. I still miss him, it was one of the few times I felt sadness over someone I'd never met.I agree with this sentiment. Both Goldsmith and Kamen's passing truly affected me. Goldsmith because he was such a master of film scoring, Kamen because as good as he was, I think he was just scratching the surface of his abilities.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Awwww.....Anyways, I am not a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith's music, but I respect his contribution to the film (music) industry very much. "Hats off" is the phrase appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 He has a lot of scores, and a lot of the unknown ones aren't very good. I'd say he has at least 10 solid scores under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hlao-roo 389 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yes, you do.Indeed, that would be my all-time favorite Goldsmith score.

Dean1700 4 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Happy Birthday Mister Goldsmith. Your memory will always live on in your music.I'm lucky to share your birthday today. I wonder how many other people can say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 This is one fan that truly misses him. You all know that I prefer Goldsmith's music over Williams any day of the week. I think today I will listen to either the complete score for Star Trek The Motion Picture or Star Trek Nemesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrygollay 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I miss Maestro Goldsmith very much , he was such a truly gentleman, very easy going despite he was a shy person, I have been visiting the Hillside Cimetery in Culver City, 3 years ago...I got the famous 3 CDs StarTrek : The Motion Picture, I wish some day we can have an official release of this music ( 3CDs !!! ) with his OUTLAND complete score .

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 This kind of thread is kind of pointless. You can't wish someone dead a happy birthday. I find it morbid to celebrate a dead persons birthday. Thats for Elvis fans. Each of us can remember him in our own way. I have STTMP in my cd player in the car, but even just remembering him is enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Somebody above listed some of the movies Goldsmith scored as a tribute to the great man and reading it makes one understand completely why some are hugely unaware of exactly what he contributed.RIP Jerry Goldsmith: THE greatest 2nd placer of all time*.*After Al Gore.
