- sbcea, on 02/20/2009, -0/+39So sad. By the way ... "Mr. Blue Sky" is hands down my favorite ELO song.
- Semblance, on 02/21/2009, -1/+28Very sad. This is back when musicians and bands had talent. Not the studio-processed hacks of today.
- pacman122, on 02/21/2009, -1/+25Very sad to hear that, ELO is a great underrated band.
- gl77, on 02/21/2009, -0/+24Don't Bring Me Down........
- SRSco, on 02/21/2009, -1/+24Dugg for ELO on the front page. Requiescat in pace.
- TheSkunkMonkey, on 02/21/2009, -0/+18One of the best concerts I ever saw was ELO on the Out of the Blue tour. The stage looked like the spaceship on the album cover, but from the edge on. The top half opened like a clam shell to reveal the band rising up on the stage in the center. Once fully opened, a large screen at the back of the stage unfolded from the top.
This was the first concert I had ever seen that had a laser light show. The screen in the rear acted as the canvas for the laser to draw various patterns, symbols and logos. They also had carefully placed lasers that bounced between the bottom and top of the stage before shooting out and over the crowd up into the ceiling.
To this day, that was the most impressive stage setup I'd ever seen.
I even had back stage passes and got to meet 3 members of the opening act, Starland Vocal Band.
As long as we can hear his music, Mr. Groucutt will live on. - michaelrsa, on 02/21/2009, -0/+14That sucks, I was born to late to enjoy them in their prime. Well, might as well put on Turn To Stone. I was to late to enjoy any of the greats of rock and roll. No, I'm stuck with today's music and that is a punishment.
- shiddysmurf, on 02/21/2009, -0/+14I always loved "Fire on High"
- Abomonog, on 02/21/2009, -0/+10Another sad loss to the music world. ELO was one of the most underrated bands ever.

- TheTommyD, on 02/21/2009, -0/+9I just finished listening to ELO before I saw this.
I was 16 in the early seventies and played the album(s) to death.
This really brings me down... - JRW5061, on 02/21/2009, -1/+9BRUCE
- jonathanseely, on 02/20/2009, -1/+9Sad to hear!

- douglasr007, on 02/21/2009, -0/+7I am under the impression that ELO has never made a bad song. There's so much to choose from in their discography. My favorite album has to be A New World Record because it's short, sweet, and to the point with the pop ELO sound.

There ain't a cloud in sight...
*sniff* - inactive, on 02/21/2009, -0/+7ELO was a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. R.I.P. sir.
- RizzoFrank, on 02/21/2009, -0/+6And it's raining all over the world.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fowtv_JRTIU - TheIndigoSky, on 02/21/2009, -0/+5From his haunting echo at the end of "One Summer Dream" to his shouts of energy in "Don't Bring Me Down", Groucutt will definitely be missed by me.
- beerhound, on 02/21/2009, -0/+5Mr. Blue Sky, Turning to Stone, Evil Woman and the cover they did of Roll Over Beethoven are my favorites
- nadalbg, on 02/21/2009, -1/+6Rest in peace! You will be remembered.
- leamanc, on 02/21/2009, -1/+6He had a strange magic...

- twiztidsinz, on 02/21/2009, -0/+5get the ***** back to 4chan
- SRSco, on 02/21/2009, -1/+6They aren't underrated. They were on the charts constantly during the heyday, awarded handsomely, and people who like music, talk about them favorably.
- ncapone, on 02/21/2009, -0/+5Man..I can't believe it. I'm actually learning the bass to Shine a Little Love right now.
- inactive, on 02/21/2009, -0/+4Don't bring me down with your puns.
- bouche, on 02/21/2009, -2/+6Jeff Lynne was and still is ELO. don't underestimate that legend.
- LilJimmyNordin, on 02/21/2009, -0/+4From the wikipedia entry:
A common mondegreen in the song is the perception that, following the title line, Jeff Lynne shouts "Bruce!" However, according to liner notes, he is actually saying a made-up word "Grroosss". This is similar to a German word for "greeting", Gruß possibly referring to the Bavarian greeting Grüß Gott the group would have heard while recording the album in Munich. However, after the song's release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as Bruce that Jeff Lynne actually began to sing the word as Bruce at live shows. - MasterTroll, on 02/21/2009, -1/+5♪ Oh oh Telephone Liiiiine, give me some tiiiiime, I'm living in twiiiiiiiiiilight ♪

I dont know where you are
But I miss you so much till then
I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an IBM. - superterrorizer, on 02/21/2009, -0/+4So sad. Showdown is one of my all time favorite songs. I was just listening to some ELO last night. RIP.
- Reapz, on 02/21/2009, -0/+4Really sad to hear, ELO is a great band. RIP Kelly. Time was such an amazing album!
- burjzyntski, on 02/21/2009, -0/+4you're never too late to enjoy the greats of rock 'n roll.
- theWaterboy, on 02/21/2009, -0/+4ELO was a great band, and it's very sad to hear he died so young.
- joshf52, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3Telephone Line, Turn to Stone and Evil Woman are my favorites
- portnoy, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3I think mine might be "Standin' in the Rain", but I think I like pretty much everything they did.
- jimmsta, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3My parents saw ELO several times during the 70's. I've been a fan since I was young. I'm a fan of the song "10538 Overture".
RIP Mr. Groucutt. Your music will live on. - peterinjapan, on 02/22/2009, -0/+3Just on the Boarder of your waking mind,
there lies another time,
Where darkness and light are one.
And as you tread the halls of sanity
you feel so glad to be
unable to go beyond.
I have a message from another time... - PeterFile, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3I never had the opportunity to see ELO live, but I saw The Orchestra live which is Kelly Groucutt, Mik Kaminski and Louis Clark from ELO and other people from ELO Part II. Eventhough he was in his 60s he was full of energy.
- UK31337, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3Sad news indeed. ELO are one of my favourite bands ever.
RIP Kelly, you'll be missed. - SirBruce, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3It's Groos, you morons.
- AmazingSteve, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3Take heart kid. A lot of us know what it's like to be born a generation late as far as music's concerned.
- carolinaws, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3Well, John Lennon did make the comment that the ELO were the "sons of the Beatles."
- carolinaws, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3Last Train to London :(
