La vie du forum, c'est aussi les musiciens qui s'en vont. Une pensée pour le premier de cette rubrique, qui se remplira trop vite.

Je suis loin d'avoir tout suivi fidèlement, mais certains trucs étaient très bons.

il n'a jamais eu la cote sur l'autre forum, j'avais lance le sujet qui n'avait pas accroché.
Les septiques passent à coté de quelque chose.
Si vous trouvez ce DVD, jetez y un œil

Mon beau papa était sur le cul quand je lui ai dit qu'il était mort, il avait mangé avec lui dans un resto quand il tournait avec les Roadrunners, quelqu'un de sympa apparemment, un look très excentrique avec des bagues à tous les doigts, enfin en tout cas très bonne ambiance d'après ce qu'il m'a raconté !

(CNN) -- LES PAUL, whose innovations with the electric guitar and studio technology made him one of the most important figures in recorded music, has died, according to a statement from his publicists. Paul was 94.
Les Paul, whose innovations helped give rise to modern pop music, played guitar into his 90s.

Les Paul, whose innovations helped give rise to modern pop music, played guitar into his 90s.

Paul died in White Plains, New York, from complications of severe pneumonia, according to the statement.

Paul was a guitar and electronics mastermind whose creations -- such as multitrack recording, tape delay and the solid-body guitar that bears his name, the Gibson Les Paul -- helped give rise to modern popular music, including rock 'n' roll. No slouch on the guitar himself, he continued playing at clubs into his 90s despite being hampered by arthritis.

"If you only have two fingers [to work with], you have to think, how will you play that chord?" he told CNN.com in a 2002 phone interview. "So you think of how to replace that chord with several notes, and it gives the illusion of sounding like a chord." iReport.com: Do you play a Les Paul guitar?

Il a bien mérité sa statue celui la.

Memphis musician Jim Dickinson dies at 67

Iconic Memphis musician and producer Jim Dickinson has died.

The 67 year-old Dickinson passed away early Saturday morning in his
sleep, according to his wife Mary Lindsay Dickinson. Dickinson had
been in ill health for the past few months, and was recuperating from
heart surgery at Methodist Extended Care Hospital. “He went
peacefully,” said Mary Lindsay.

Just last weekend, a tribute concert, headlined by John Hiatt, had
been held in Dickinson’s honor at the Peabody Skyway, to help defray
his medical costs.

A third generation piano player, Dickinson was born in Little Rock,
Ark., but raised in Memphis. During the course of his colorful half-
century career, Dickinson built a reputation as a session player for
the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, a producer for Big Star and the
Replacements, a sometime solo artist, and patriarch of a small musical
dynasty that includes sons Cody and Luther Dickinson of the North
Mississippi Allstars.

Dickinson's health woes began following a high-profile performance
with Elvis Costello at the Beale Street Music Festival in May. After a
physical exam revealed serious cardiac issues, Dickinson was
immediately sent into surgery where doctors at Methodist Le Bonheur
Hospital in Germantown put in a pair of stents, then sent him home to
rest up for bypass surgery.

Dickinson seemed in good health and spirits when The Commercial Appeal
caught up with him at his Coldwater, Miss., home in late May, to talk
about the release of his new album of classic pop standards, Dinosaurs
Run in Circles.

However, just before he was to celebrate the CD release with a show at
Huey's on May 31, he had to be rushed back to the hospital with
complications. He remained there before finally undergoing triple
bypass surgery on June 24. Two days later he went into cardiac arrest.
He was revived and spent several weeks recuperating in a cardiac
intensive care unit.

Late last month, Dickinson was relocated to a rehabilitation facility;
family and friends and physicians had hoped for a slow but eventual
recovery that did not come.

“He just never did really get a break,” says Mary Lindsay. “He had so
many different things go wrong with him. Every time he would work so
hard to get better, something else would happen. It was a long drawn
out experience the last few months.”

Dickson’s wife says her husband was in a good place mentally and
spiritually at the end. “He had a great life, and he was a consummate
family man. He loved music and his family. And he loved Memphis music,
specifically.”

The family says there are no immediate plans for a memorial.
