[Lotisambo]

Your wretched saxophone me forever in my heart,even though your heart has made ton last.You"re still here with me,i believe you got,there between the angel wings,which will allow you to return back to earth.

[LPRoad2revolution]

So sad....saw him Live in England twice on the 80's tour....such passion in his playing had to be seen....sent goose bumps over me when he solo'd...R.I.P. 'the BIG man''

John... :'(

[xyzaffair12345]

Rip big man. God's gotta live performance now woot woot.

[JAKE076]

Bill and Ted!

[Hister333]

6 people need to tell me their addresses, so I can kick their asses if they're worth the travel. NC here.

[LittleMickeyPooh]

I think people dislike this is because they hated how he died... so if you guys Liked it, you're happy that he died?

[hjalle95]

the best sax player of all time!

[lurch321]

It's bad enough that I'll be in mourning on 8-20 (the anniversary of Leroi Moore's passing)....................th­e fact that I'm now mourning the Big Man is even crappier. Life SUCKS so badly sometimes! At least God has a hell of a sax band now (Leroi, Grover Washington, Jr., and C.C.)..................LUCKY!

[babsie1909]

R.I.P. and bring glory to heaven and make them happy...in our hearts you will survive until we meet us again

we thank the lord for the plesure of hear his sax

[hombrelubinero]

His legacy will long out live me. Rest in peace Clarence

[pauldoncha]

[bogiesmom58]

RIP Big Man. You were the best and E Street will never be the same.

[SaxopwnJazzCombo]

My band director died a few months ago. He played sax and loved leading bands. He loved people like Sanborn, Clemons, Marienthal, etc. And hey, maybe they are up in Heaven making music with eachother!!! I bet the Big Man is first chair in his band! Rockin it up there with Coltrane, Parker, and other guys :D

[MrLanimilbus]

@UserIdGoesHere what do i think? i think you're a joke pal. i bet you sit in your sad little bedroom thinkin up shite to say online that you wouldn't have the bottle to say face to face. i bet you've never had a girl friend, in fact i bet you've never had a friend. i hope you're happy sittin there starin at your p.c.listenin to your Glee and hannah montana cd's. you still live with your mummy and sleep with the light on all night. take a look at your sad little life you fuckin retrobate.

No one could replace him, what an amazing musician..so sad!

[petersteventon]

So sad to hear Clarence has died. I first heard Clarence play on Born To Run. He made me realise how great the saxophone could sound in rock music. What a legend.

[JawsFan27]

May he rest in peace....... :(

[ssrprosthetic]

The Soul of the E Street Band is gone but the big band in the Heavens got a bit brighter

[oldphoque]

My understanding is he died due to complications from his recent stroke. I heard he was both hypertensive and diabetic. I don`t know that, just read. What I do know is he was a good man and I`m gonna miss him.

[sivytaf]

WE CAN'T HEAR HIM NO MORE, BUT HE WILL STILL PLAY THE SAXOFON IN HEVEN, WE WILL MISS HIM FOREVER!!!!!

[sindi458]

You are an inspiration to everyone who was fortunate enough to have any contact with you both live and through all types of media. The universe will never be the same without you! I hope you are in a better place - Thanks for all that you did and continue to do!!!!

I remember reading an article years ago ,the late Robert Moog stated that the

sound of Clarence Clemons' saxophone was the catalyst to advance similar

sounds on synethesizers.Every person who has ever attempted to invoke a

sax-like sound on thier keyboards,owes him a thanks.

[psnLoneWulf14]

aww he fell off the edge of glory :( R.I.P

[MrMattRocker]

"And the change was made in time and the Big man joined the band" . From the gates of heaven to the Throne all the angels are waving their hands. RIP Big man. Never had the chance to play with you. Maybe in the next life. God Bless.

[ExodusPessoa]

@MrMattRocker I hope you will.

[NALung]

@MrMattRocker Correction..."The change was made UPTOWN, and the Big Man joined the band" R.I.P Clarence

[MrMattRocker]

I found out before going to bed after having a hard day. I'm extremely depressed to hear of this. I never knew him personally. I have read his biography and watch interview clips of him. I myself am a musician. I'm a huge fan of Springsteen and the E street band. The sound they had was amazing. I was fortunate to see them live before Fercidi passed. I'm a guitar player singersongwriter. I am very much influenced by their sound especially Clarence sax. I put sax in my songs thanks to his sound.

[PremiseTester]

Hearing of his death was sad enough. Finding out on this clip that he appeared on American Idol with Lady Gaga leaves me clinically depressed.

[Stratman78]

R.I.P. Clarence Clemons.

"The Big Man."

The heart & soul of the E. Street Band.

[acarouselofantics]

Rest In Peace! What a gifted musician!!

[patricusnr9]

RIP

[jdoret]

i hate that people only start noticing how great he is and was after he dies. thumbs up if you agree

[duncecap65]

RIP- WILDMAN FISCHER!!!!!!!!!!

[ETF1964]

When he arrived at the gates of Heaven, St,. Peter announced, everyone welcome the "Big Man" Clarence Clemons... Rest in peace Clarence, from a lifetime fan. God be with your family and friends. Thank you for sharing you talent with all of us.

[RandallFlaggNY]

I hope they don't take him to the Cadillac Ranch...

[frtw4428]

[615Cath]

Nobody could play the sax like Clarence. He will be deeply missed. RIP Big Man!

[ElmozGhost]

I first saw them back in '75, and several times afterwards. It's been a long road, but still too short is you ask me. Rest in Peace Big Man, we'll miss you.

[CrialCrial]

god damn what a blow to the musical community, loved this dude :l

[Pizuzuzimmer]

Should have stayed away from the poison known as Lady Caca.

[1f5sda]

I listened to "Born To Run" to pay tribute to Clemons.

[Californiway]

I've recently have become a Bruce Springsteen band and fell in love with Bruce and Clarence! I was very excited to know they we're still touring and was hoping to see them in 2012! I am very depressed over this news that my dreams of seeing them both will not come true now. This is just how I feel over not being able to see Queen live, because Freddie Mercury passed away at too young of an age. In my opinion, so did Clarence! R.I.P Mr. Clemons! I'll miss you!!

[fishinsolitude]

Many years ago I was lucky enough to have seen the E Street Band live. Of all the members of this band, I feel it was Clarence Clemons that really stood out. He was blessed with a wonderful talent, and that talent would bring out the fire in the other members. When Clarence played, people listened. What they heard would almost always bring them to their feet.

Clarence Clemons will be missed greatly.

[wheels0503]

such a good sax player!!!i hear him alot and i will miss hearing him on new songs.

@MrElectrician59 INDEED

[InfernalDescent]

I saw Bruce Springsteen in concert once and I was mesmerized by Clarence Clemons. I admired him.

I'm saddened by his loss and I will miss his bigger than life presence and the wonderful music he gave us. I also feel for Bruce, because his loss will be deeply personal as well as professional.

[INCEDENTON57THSTREET]

Now it's god's turn to say the big man joined the band

[Swegen]

Meaningless trying to vocabularize how much this man meant for Bruce and the E Street Band and us fans.

That's the trouble with getting older. All your earthly gods die. He was a rock god! Never will forget how great a sax player he was. He'll be alive in my minds eye and ears, till I die.

You KNOW heaven's got one HELL of a band!...

[Byakuyasamamark205]

Less jungle music, more better music.

[JDaKingman]

@Byakuyasamamark205 what is jungle music?

[Byakuyasamamark205]

@JDaKingman Congo music played by jungle babies.

[JDaKingman]

@Byakuyasamamark205 what is a jungle baby? Congo music?

[Byakuyasamamark205]

@JDaKingman Darkies and their African congo music that bred what is considered to be god-awful rap, hip-hop and R&B.

[JDaKingman]

@Byakuyasamamark205 ?? "Darkies"? African congo? So Reggae is also AFRICAN congo music? I thought Reggae originated from Jamaica? What is your point?

[Bassplayershadow2023]

@JDaKingman you are a disgusting racist pig! I hate racist pigs like you!

RIP Big Man! RIP!

[Byakuyasamamark205]

@Bassplayershadow2023 And you are a disgusting mud-mixer. You degenerative sub-human negroid. I hate multi-color people like you. You are trash and scum.

[miramesa92]

R.I.P. He'll be missed.

[elijah620]

I remember I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band a couple years back in Greensboro, NC with my dad, and my dad said that Clarence Clemons would probably be sitting in his "Grandpa Chair", as he called it, so he wouldn't move around too much. But for that one show, The Big Man decided he would stand and play, and he was movin' and jumpin' with Bruce. I'll never forget that show. R.I.P. Big Man, You'll be sorely missed.

[LBjim]

RIP Big Man!!...The E Street Band now will never be the same..

[teedeeiss]

Dang, what a GIFTED man, what a TALENT, what a LEGEND!!! Saw he play live a few times w/ Springsteen & w/ the Dead. Each time he literally blew the doors off the place. The Man just ROCKED!! Hurts to know he's gone. ROCK in PEACE Clarence, while many sure try to imitate you, sure as hell NO ONE can top you. 11:17 pm
