RIP Robin Gibb

[* ORM *]

Not unexpected but still shocked. Not sure any tribute would be good enough so I'll just say a massive thank you.

Gutted,RIP Robin.

Very sad news, reunited with his twin...hadn't realised he'd had the same cancer that took Maurice almost 10 years ago. RIP Robin.

A favourite track....

Currently in the very local area of Redcliffe where the Gibb family lived whilst living in Australia. Would never say I was a Bee Gees fan but their music was part of my growing up from the radio and family parties/weddings etc. Sad news.

I agree about their music, although I like a lot of their early stuff but really didn't buy into the 70's disco music. I was going to make a similar remark on the Donna Summer thread.

However their music was influential and long lasting and forever changing.

RIP

Very sad. Poor Barry lost his 3 brothers, all before their time. Seem to be more and more of the musical greats passing away.

RIP Robin - another good guy gone - my faves are First of May and I started a joke

Yep by favourite BeeGees number too!

Saw the Bee Gees live at Wembley in '98, the greatest concert I have ever seen. I can't believe that 14 short years later, two more of the Gibb brothers have left us. The Brothers Gibb, a true music phenomenon.

So true and I freely admit to being a huge fan of them all my life....there are just so many fantastic tunes over the years, it is really hard to pick out a favourite as different ones meant different things at certain times...As somebody said today, The Bee Gees wrote songs for so many music categories, probably more so than any other group.

From the later years I loved this.

I see your taste in music is no better than in politics or strikers.:winking:

Unlike you Barnaby, I favour strikers who can score, and musicians who can actually write and sing great tunes. I also favour politicians who aren't whiny bitches.

With all due respect Barna, there's a time and a place, and this isn't it. Let those of us who appreciated and enjoyed the music of the Brothers Gibb reminisce on this sad day....and however you look at it, for a family of 4 brothers to now be left with only the eldest one alive is simply tragic.
