avalanche 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 RIP.My wife and I watched a late-night showing of Twister on cable this weekend, and there's a great little part where one of the stormchasers blasts "Child in Time" as the caravan closes on a tornado. Such a great song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm not hugely familiar with Deep Purple's discography, but I'm huge fan of the songs I know, "Hush" being my favorite.RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,488 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The rock world will miss him. Although not as dexterous, and inventive as Rick Wakeman, or as subtle as Tony Banks, he was absolutely what Deep Purple needed to propel them to rock royality.Thanks for the heads up, Alex. I knew that Lord was an accomplished classical composer, but I had never heard of the c.d that you posted. Again, my thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
