have some very early ike turner stuff (before ike @tina) he wasnt the greatest husband around, but he could sure bang some good music out R.I.P.

Re: Ike Turner dies
 

Whatever his personal faults, he was a great musician and performer. Most of today's "R&B acts" couldn't hold a candle to him. A true original!

Re: Ike Turner dies
 

Ooh he was a nasty piece of work ,,according to Tina

Re: Ike Turner dies
 

Hate to speak ill of the dead, but he shan't be missed.
There is no excuse for domestic violence, even his part in creating rock n roll won't suffice.
IMO.

Re: Ike Turner dies
 

agree no excuse,but this section is Music,Bands,etc, theres other places in the forum for that,so get off yer soapbox.:p

Re: Ike Turner dies
 

There certainly isn't...which is why there was no excuse for that working-class hero, John Lennon, when he slapped first wife Cynthia so hard, she banged her head against a wall, after seeing her dancing with Stuart Sutcliffe.

Re: Ike Turner dies
 

Totally agree.

Re: Ike Turner dies
 

john lennon did that???nooooo:eek:

Re: Ike Turner dies
 

it just goes to prove ya dont know what goes on behind closed doors!!!

Re: Ike Turner dies
 

many artists have deplorable things in their past/background, in football george best was one, didn't make him a "bad footballer" think folk that cannot distinguish behaviour from talent must be very narrow minded.:p so again R.I.P. to a great musician.
