    I saw in in KC in the very early 70's. Never will I forget how he looked standing upon the stage in his white suit with the breeze blowing his hair. His voice was just as good in person, in that concert, as it was in the sound studio. It was wonderful. God rest his soul. A prayer that he is with the Good God, and not in the court of the crimson king.

    Greg Lake has brought a lot of great memories to his fans for many years......a great musician and singer. Cal Jam in '74 was incredible. Yet he's always seemed to be gracious in his interviews, appreciative of the life he has lived with his music. Unlike so many others that let fame ruin them. Greg is a "lucky man", and so were we......

      Everyone who had something like a brain could see that Greg was ill. And I hope that those guys who wrote all these disrepectful coms realize what they did.
      Keith was always somewhat like a guiding light in my musical career. First with The Nice and then with ELP of course. But my background was classical music and I thought that it was a great idea to combine it with the power and freedom of rock and jazz music. Since then I really had a crush on Keith and on Greg as well cause he was such a good multi instrumentalist, writer and singer. I try to keep their music alive by playing it with my own trio. Two years ago I played a real big concert with my band, a symphony orchestra and ELP-music. It was just great and we all had a lot of fun. On the other hand it was kinda sad as they will never be heard on stage or in the studio anymore. And today´s rock music is just the opposite of what ELP did - what means trying to create something new even if it´s not a commercial success. So - whenever I think of them I feel a bit lonely.

      I loved him dearly but I've spent 7 years studying health and no matter how you gain the weight food or drugs, the outcome is the same. At 70, I lost over 80 lbs so I could listen to my friend Greg Lake for another 10 years, If I'm lucky enough to get to heaven, I want to shake his hand and tell him how I spent over 20 years learning his songs on guitar. His live voice sounded just like he was in the studio. If you think back, there was no tech for those that sung out of key, Greg was a real artist and I'll never forget him even if I get Dementia or ALS, which is also food related. There is no shame in being overweight as most of the population is, but not before the 1950's. Don't believe me, do what most people won't bother with, look up the obesity rate in 1950 compared to today.

    I fell in love with Greg Lake when the King Crimson album came out. I also saw ELP in concert when the Brain Salad Surgery came out. He was most definitely one of a kind. I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and have spent over 15 years working on perfecting from the beginning. When I watched him play Still you turn me on, at that very instant I knew that I would spend a lifetime playing guitar, I'm 71 years old and have had some bad health problems -->obesity was the worst. I turned my life around after a bladder cancer scare and lost over 80 lbs. I noticed in this interview that Greg's weight is just way to much. I have no doubts whatsoever that had he found a way to control his eating habits, he might still be alive today. I've spent almost ten years studying the human body and what's so crazy is the sheer number of obesity in this country is mind boggling, every metabolic illness there is can be corrected by proper diet. I could have given him 4 rules to live by and I bet any amount of money (Which I don't have), that had he listened to my words would still be alive today. 1. Eat NO GRAINS. Grains were fine 100 years ago, when they decided to remove all of the good stuff so they could sit on a shelf forever they made grains deadly, grains cause Leaky Gut. How many times have you seen a cave man walking into a cave with a bunch of grains thrown over his shoulder? 2. Avoid all dairy products, they contain estrogen (which makes everything grow even your prostate), it's a female hormone in cows milk--It makes calves grow big in a hurry. 3. Avoid all seed oils. vegetable oil comes from corn, corn has been ruined by adding glyphosate which is basically Roundup. ALL seed oils, are inflammatory. I only cook and use Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, and Unrefined Unprocessed Coconut oil, and last and most important, SUGAR. Sugar is TOXIC. I avoided these for almost 2 years, lost over 80lbs and no more High Blood Pressure. I know it sounds like there's nothing left to eat, and my wife says organic food is just too expensive. I told her what's cheaper the organic food or a bill for an ambulance ride to the ER after a heart attack? People can say I'm crazy and call me names but if you have the drive to make these changes, it will change your life forever.

      I knew Greg for over twenty years. What people don’t know is that his increased weight was a side product of the various drugs he was taking at the start of his long battle with cancer. He was always upbeat and fought like a bastard against his cancer until the end. I miss him.
