But still not as newsworthy as one of One Direction going AWOL or Cheryl Cole having a haircut

I think some of Mr Kings fine work will be emitting from the iPod on the way to work later

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had was at BB kings house of blues on international drive.

Fortunately the live band more than made up for it

So the poor food gave you the blues?

Bob king was one of the Mike stones along the journey of my musical education, along with my dear uncle who taught me not only to listen to music but how to listen to it, and my cousin who introduced me to led zeplin and age 16 I first heard of BB King, when U2 released "when love come to town" I made me look for BB King records, and opened up a whole new world of music for me, yeah, BB King gave me the blues, but in a good way, so any time I listen to bonamassa, Clapton, or any of the rock gods that his music inspired, BB King is to thank, and so he didn't die, it's just a crossroads in his legacy, play on brother man

I know there are typos, but I'm genuinely upset at this point in time

Old Blues classic. I like the George Thorogood and the destroyers version. Plenty more legends have done their own versions

since I posted this terrible news early yesterday on here I have taken comfort but not been surprised by all the heartfelt posts by other people.it really does show the man and his music touched hearts and minds across the world and will be a sadder place without him.but the legacy off music he left and his influence on others will last for ever. thanks one and all for all the replies. THE THRILL MAY HAVE GONE,BUT HIS MUSIC LIVES ON. R.I.P. BB.

I've loved BB's music ever since I was a child. He's been a huge influence on my playing since day one. I have been lucky enough to see him live several times (once with Gary Moore). He will be sorely missed in my house.

I still find it ironic that he is considered one of the all time great guitar players and he couldn't play chords.
