Ah, shit. What a bummer.

Edit - that was meant to be ironic not facetious. That first album was part of my life in the Spring and Summer of 77

 

[KZNSeagull]

Oh no, that is sad news. RIP

 

[Nitram]

Very sad news, brilliant keyboardist. The Stranglers did a great set supporting Alice Cooper at The Brighton Centre last October.

 

[Jeremiah]

My favourite band of all time and a brilliant musician.

A Brighton lad. Very sad news indeed.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Gutted

No other words

Gutting news, RIP Dave Greenfield, a very unique music genius.

I was only reading about him online this weekend, and he recently made it into my NSC ideal band line-up.

Goosebumps every time for over 40 years:

 

[Si Gull]

I was a huge fan back in the day but lost touch as life moved on, though still listened to the old stuff up to Aural Sculpture. Mate convinced me to see them last year and they were superb. Got tickets for later this year but won't be the same without the keyboard maestro......

 

[Juan Albion]

Terrible, terrible news

Last saw him a couple of years ago in Toronto. He still had it.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

The first time I saw The Stranglers was in 1977. He was entrancing, and just a superb keyboard player. I saw them live many times, but never after Hugh Cornwell left - I always considered it, never went. Wish I had now.

RIP.

 

[Beach Hut]

Awful news, Walk On By is the greatest cover version ever IMHO

RIP

 

[BN9 BHA]

RIP Dave.

I saw The Stranglers a few times late 70s, Dave Greenfield, the best keyboard player I have seen live.

 

[vegster]

RIP Dave, another sad loss.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Really ****ing Crap News

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

RIP Dave

 

[Mr Bridger]

RIP Dave, was massively influence by the Stranglers, 2nd band I went to see at the Birmingham Odeon

 

[Juan Albion]

And I never even realised he was from Brighton.
