B Thorpe's Memorial...Part11..Max Merritt - "Slipping Away"

[daverow49]

Two dislikes. How sad for you. Cloth-ear buffoons comes to mind. Billy Thorpe is a music legend in Australia and so is Max Merritt. Bloody great blokes and good mates. The music is getting better in Heaven because we have lost so many great musos recently. He is sadly missed and his music will live on, because we care.

[anamie1956]

The tears flowed even though he's been gone so long

[waynesmuseum]

I was at this wake for Billy Thorpe and everyone had a beer or two before and after at the Star Hotel , just up the road from The Entertainment Centre . A sad day , but Thorpie would have loved it .

[ironcarvel]

I miss that time.

[reginacremm]

[bourbonmatt]

Wow..I still love this song and he sings it with such emotion..by the way rpkziruvar..this shouldnt be forum for max's guitar selection..which is by the way a line 6 Variax..if you didnt see the guitar you would think it was an acoustic..( He plays this because the electric neck is easier on aging fingers...I know i use mine for the same reason..)

[plfj222]

great

[rpkziruvar]

i dint like the guitar max uses in this, it should be an acoustic

[gfrkiss]

This must have been very difficult for him to sing...

[LimeStreetBlues]

The "O Boy" at :26 says it all......

[Miller5014]

This song holds the greatest memories for myself & Marshall as this song here our Dutch sang to us two boys when we were babys and even sang it to us as we got older but never knew the value of it till he died... exactly 1 week prior to my 21st on the 10 of October 2007.And was burried 3 days before it.

So this song holds alot of memories!!!!

[Foxhound101wh]

[truckie69r]

ive love this song all my life ..

awesome

[Kiwiblokenz]

What an awesome song!!

[damo3805]

Sad to hear Max is not too well himself now. Hoping your better soon mate.

[jijastacy33]

Very neat - last saw Max at Millenium concert in Christchurch. Shared a little home made Bourbon with Max and my mum.

[Fastjohnth]

Brilliant, just brilliant. New Zealand's best ever song, very appropriate.

[thatkiwidude]

Agree here.Bravo Max!This and For Today would have to be the best ever I reckon.

[chuthekiwi]

it sure is and the aussies think he is one of them ha ha

[noteatpig2getha]

Most Aussies know he's kiwi, but he's one of those rare kiwis that we like to adopt as our own.

[NanaMex]

We sure do know he is a Kiwi and he has been forgiven, but then most Yanks think Little River Band is American.

[archienuke]

One of the saddest and most joyful afternoons I have ever spent. Left that arena and got well pissed...one more time for Bill. Thanks for the up.

[noteatpig2getha]

''Thanks for the up.''...no worries. I watched the telecast and found the audience participation quite wonderful.The singing along to Billy on the big screen and the often funny tributes from his friends made quite a touching tribute to one of the good guys.

[archienuke]

A good guys he was.He would do anything for a muso in trouble & in the end was to proud to ask for help himself.He was a good mate that we never thought we would lose so soon.

You wouldn't happen to have the whole show would you?

A few of his other mates and I have been trying to get a hold of a copy but to no avail.

A couple of these people appeared on the telecast but have been knocked back by sky for a copy.

If you could help it would be great.

Cheers.

[noteatpig2getha]

''You wouldn't happen to have the whole show would you?''...Yeah but I'm such a stingy bastard that you might have to wait for me to upload it bit by bit :P

[waynesmuseum]

@archienuke  A great day for Thorpie
