[Music] Rick Buckler RIP

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Genuinely saddened to hear this

 

[BN9 BHA]

RIP Rick.
Sad news, The Jam have been one of my favourite bands since my early teens

 

[Eeyore]

Must be one of the few bands where most of us could reel off all their tracks and, at the absolute least, have a passing administration for. For me it's so much more, hardly a week goes by and I'm not playing one of their tracks. They are eternal.

I remember Going Underground entering at number 1. I got home from school and my brother told me that Tuesday lunchtime. It had been announced on Newsbeat before the Tuesday chart. I refused to believe him.

Great music, great memories. A third now gone. I suppose we're at that time now and can become desensitised. But this one stands out. RIP Rick.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Oh no. What. A. Band. Brilliant drummer. That’s a shocker.

 

[METALMICKY]

RIP Rick. You've left a fantastic legacy with some songs that will remain timeless classics

 

[zefarelly]

Sad news. The Jam were a brilliant band and he was an integral part of it. RIP Rick.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

That’s a real shocker - only 69 - part of one of the very best bands of the late 70s/early 80s - and I know many of us think that. RIP Rick

To be merged?

 

[Wardy's twin]

Very sad new. One of the best bands ever.

 

[Weststander]

RIP. Love the bloke, iconic part of my childhood music.

Did Weller ever befriend him? Saw a sad BBC4 doc years ago, RB seemed low about it.

 

[Beach Hut]

RIP, very sad day for the music industry

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Very sad news. RIP Rick.

 

[Hamilton]

Bit lost for words…….

I think that says it all.

RIP

I had the privilege of seeing the Jam a few times. I went to hundreds of gigs and they were up there with the best of them. Rarely a week goes by when I dont listen to their songs.
RIP Rick

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

Loved the Jam, saw them 4 times including their last ever at the Centre. Rick was such an energetic drummer whilst still looking unshakeably cool. God bless you RB and RIP.

 

[Lenny Rider]

I feel privileged to have seen the Jam live 5 times.
They were never Paul Weller and 2 backing musicians, they were one of the best three piece bands of all time, each member crucial to the magic they produced.

RIP Rick, drummer extraordinaire.

RIP Rick

Were you there 11/12/82?

Sadly I wasn’t, getting nicked instead coming back on the Clifton Coach from Oxford vs Worthing

Guilty, attended the last ever Jam gig and also last ever Queen live gig at Knebworth

 

[Comrade Sam]

What a fecking legend. It's hard to think of a greater piece of frenetic drumming than Funeral Pyer.

 

[Swegulls]

Sad news. RIP Rick.

 

[Jahooli]

Very sad news. RIP Rick.
