I don't know why I like these guys so much...
I hate Keyboard solos. 
But I listen to their best of like twice a week at work. And what was that thread about the longest song you listen to on a regular basis? Tarkus.
Yeah and I have the self titled on vinyl. Fun times. Very crazy/all over the place.

... and now back to your regularily scheduled thread topic. |

I've got their self-titled and Tarkus. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: florence , mississippi | | | YES! I own all of the vinyl up till Works Part II and on cd I have BSS , Tarkus and Self Titled. Kickass band, they are the only wankers I love to hear wank.
My favorite is BSS , I love each of the songs on it and the Epic kicks ass.
Greg Lake is a really good bassist and he never gets the credit he deserves. Lets see some of you play the bass part to Karn Evil 9 while singing.
Originally Hendrix was gonna join the band, that is of course till he died.

Another fan here, but got to know them only like 12 years ago. The trio is totally amazing. And Keith Emerson is a crazy guy. Just watch him wiping his a** with his ribbon controller in the "Pictures At An Exhibition" video! I have the excellent 2-CD compilation "The Atlantic Years", the live "Welcome Back My friends To the Show that never ends" (originally released as a triple LP) and "Works vol. 1", plus the PAAE video. Great stuff!  |

Warmoth Guitar Products, Inc. | | Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: South Hill, WA | | | Yup. Works, Vol I & II, ELP, Pictures at an Exhibition, Welcome Back My Friends...., a couple compilations, Black Moon and I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two.
Don't forget Emerson, Lake and Powell, and Three. Got those too. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Edinboro, PA | | Hey: What's up with Black Moon? Greg's voice sounds like he... went through puberty... or something. Doesn't he sound much deeper on this album?
Lake is a great bassist, trying to find space to play around Emerson's insanity would be a challange for any bassist.
Oh yeah, I have this album too! Jeez, I keep forgetting what I own.

He is still the best vocalist theyve had.

Mmm, I'd argue that...
I think Belew has such a fantastic range of style.
He did have the best lyrics though.

Matt, I agree with you about Adrian Belew. I love his vox. Not to take anything away from Mr. Lake.

It was around 85 or 86, and I was a 16 yr old guitar player then (I know, I know but I later came to my senses and switched to bass!). We bought tix b/c Yngwie Malmsteen was the opening act. We arrived at the arena to find out that ELP had gotten into an argument with him and fired him off the tour. We could not get a refund b/c it was just the opening act. Now, here's the kicker. Did they get another opening act. No! They replaced him with a 30 minute Max Headroom video. Yes, Max Headroom for the longest 30 minutes of my entire life!!!!!!!!! That showed me that these 3 guys could give a crap to put that kind of garbage on! Then they came on and played 2 hours with about 1 1/2 hours of keyboard solos! At the end, he smashed his organ (lame guitarist envy if you ask me). Sorry to the ELP fans but I'll never forgive those guys for the Max Headroom bit.

They opened with the entire Tarkus suite, and played most of their best stuff. All three of them, great showmen. Mindblowing... |
