the Man who killed your instrument

Keith Emerson - Keith Emerson - one of the three greatest keyboardists of rock music, along with Rick Wakeman and Jon Lord. Each one is unique, and I think each differently applies to your instrument. If Wakeman almost worships the keys, showing them great reverence, the Lord just sees them as a tool to improve and diversify the band's sound. But Emerson by keys gives vent to his emotions. And along with the unique talent he also became famous very eccentric behavior on stage, especially early in his career, speaking with a group of Nice. He dragged his body across the stage, played it upside down and lying underneath him on the floor, jumped on him and through him. And he came up with a trick - to ensure a long sound of music, he hold the keys, inserting between the knives. It seemed that he stabs a knife right into the keys. Journalists even called him a man who kills his keyboard.

In 1968 the Nice released their second album, Ars Longa Vita Brevis. For the cover of the album they decided to do x-rays of their skeletons.

And so they went to the medical center. The radiologist made the necessary images, and then asked Emerson to come to him for a minute. Then followed a dialogue, which Emerson gives in his autobiography.
"- have a Seat, ' said the doctor, putting pictures to the lit screen. - You know your problem?- he asked, pointing to the chest.
- what's the problem?- in turn I asked, staring at the blurry picture and my heart beat faster.
- This!- he showed the finger. Two broken ribs... didn't You know?!
Well, now I know from you. That is something I could not understand why when I sneeze, I twisted it.
And how did you get that?
- Must be at the concert in new York... occupational hazard.
- You have broken ribs, playing on the keys? Didn't think it was such a dangerous profession.
And it depends on how you play."

by the Way, the resulting picture won the award of the magazine New Musical Express for the best cover of 1968.
In conclusion, a couple of clips showing the skill of the musician.

"And they didn't drink before the concert?"

to be honest, I still read his autobiography, sketchy, maybe he is somewhere and writes about it, I don't know yet.
