Angry the Clown Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I cannot stress how utterly, utterly depressed this shocking news has made me. It's gone and put such a dark cloud over my entire day. He'd only recently admitted he had been living with multiple sclerosis since the mid nineteen nineties. His work went even further beyond his wonderful film scores orchestrating music for bands such and Pink Floyd, Queen and others. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Didn't he work with Metallica on S&M also? Brilliant musician. Very sad loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted November 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 He did. He both arranged and conducted the orchestra for the S&M performance. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Bloody hell. I had no idea about this; its pretty shocking. He's hardly an old guy, either. Admittedly I continue to think of him as even younger than his actual age, due to having an image of him from the Brazil box, but even so - 55 is a knock to the system, particularly today when I'm feeling old.

blackcalx Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 He did some work with Queensryche on occasion and I'm saddened to hear of his passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan FB Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Wow. I mostly knew of his work from cinema (i.e. his Band of Brothers, Open Range, Event Horizon, Robin Hood, etc. soundtracks), and this is pretty sad and unexpected. His Band of Brothers work in particular is some of my favorite stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I am a big fan of his soundtracks - the Lethal Weapon series comes to mind. He'll be missed, but at least his work will live on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted November 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I wanted to share something from the forum at Michael Kamen's website. I saw someone alert others to this over at a film music forum, and it is both poignant and deeply, deeply moving. I've no qualms in admitting the following put tears in my eyes. Written the day before he passed away, his last post to a fan on his forum: http://www.michaelkamen.com/forum195/viewt...p?id=1&t_id=221 :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
