rip Just heard it .....what a man he was

HEY BO DIDDLEY. Great man, great music. Saw him play live and he was awesome. Very sad to hear of this.. big inspiration for the Stones too. And ofcourse Ronnie's tour with him.

Here's an article just released.

Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, 1972:

Slide show

One of the big, big trees has fallen - glad I got to see him live three times, sad that he never really got compensated according to his influence.

Sad,sad news.
RIP Bo

Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep -
He hath awakened from the dream of life -
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings. -We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

Oh no - this is sad news indeed. RIP Bo.

Very sad news.

A guitar legend.

God bless you man, you rocked like a true king

R I P Bo,

So glad I saw you live on stage , a real showman .

Sad news RIP Bo

It's a sad day. Usually I do not react when I read all these RIP's but this one is a different story.
For me Bo was a real originator of the rock music as we know it today. For me he is the second most important cat next to Chuck Berry. Chuck & Bo, they did it.
I was even a Bo fan in the 70's before I discovered Da Stones. Remember when I discovered Stones and noticed that they are into Bo's Beat, woow, this Stones band must be a good one as they do Bo stuff.....

Well, living in a remote part of the world I had the pleasure to get him live only once, but the most important thing for me is that I did see him perform.

I am so sad to hear these news. I have taken Bo Diddley and his riffs as granted, part of my backbone, kept me going. I saw him in Montreaux mid 90's when he had operated his back, still he was great on stage and handing out so much energy to the crowd. Met him backstage and got some great memories. Last time I saw Bo was April 2005 in London and Dublin. Had some great time with him alone backstage then too and he was such a genuine perforemer and also very friendly. See reports about my experiencs here: [www.iorr.org]

Rest In Peace Bo. Miss You!

RIP.

All Stones fans love you, Bo!

Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep -
He hath awakened from the dream of life -
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings. -We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

The One remains, the many change and pass;
Heaven's light forever shines, Earth's shadows fly;
Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
Until Death tramples it to fragments. -Die,
If thou wouldst be with that which thou dost seek!
Follow where all is fled!

Y'all remember that rubber legged boy

That's sad news. I had a ticket for a show in 2006, unfortunaly because poor ticket sales, the show was canceled. So never again got the chance to see him live.

Rest Bo Diddley
Rest Bo Diddley
Sleep well Bo Diddley
