Tim Curry IRBS

[cmatthes]

Looks like another one has left the building.  I am sure that the Rocky Horror fans are having a rough day...

Cool BC Rich Eagles in this are probably the only saving grace, but...

 

[Saul Goodman]

Oh man, I loved that Sweet Transvestite.

[Dave Scepter]

Kinda sad that his passing will be overshadowed by Dolly Partons... kind of like Farrah Faucet with Michael Jackson's passing

It's astounding~

Time is fleeting

Madness takes its toll

But listen closely

Not for very much longer

I've got to keep control

Old boy played a ton of cool roles. Rest well sir. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

This one hits hard.  I loved Tim Curry in pretty much everything he was in, but especially as Frank in Rocky Horror.

RIP, sir.  Thank you for everything.

My favorite of his songs from Rocky Horror:

 

And for my money, this is the greatest movie entrance ever:

I thunk he showed off his versatility real good in supporting roles in movies like Home Alone II  and The Hunt for Red October.

And that demon from Legend still scares the bejeezus outta me...

Hijack: But the Legend soundtrack has a very good song called "Is Your Love Strong Enough" with Bryan Ferry on lead vocals and David Gilmour on lead guitar. Yowsuh! Very cool collaboration, Gilmour "embellishments" all over the song, and an unmistakable  D.G. solo starts at about the 3:10 mark. Soundtrack's actually credited to Tangerine Dream.

Yeah, I cried when he sang, "I'm Going Home," first time I saw it. I was 15 and I think you needed to be 17 to see it. They wouldn't let me and my date buy a ticket. So we went around back and broke a hole in the Exit door big enough to get my hand in there to pull the lever to open it and in we went. What a voice and such emotion. Great movie. Great performance. I bought the album too.

I was truly bummed at this news but then, Tim was not in fine form these recent years. RHPS conjures so many memories: my cousin gave me a tape of the soundtrack back in the mid- late 70's. I LOVED that album. Had the words to every song memorized long before I actually got to see the film some 8 years later. It was during undergrad and it was being shown by the university with the added bonus of a couple of Tim's rock clips including the one @cmatthes posted.

Took a few viewings until I picked up on all the appropriate responses and came prepared with the requisite props. And yes, I experienced some random eye moisture, right around the time the scene with "I'm Going Home" played.  I still have the mp3 of the film's sound track and I watch the DVD every Halloween when I can't find a local showing with crowd partici...    SAY IT!    ...pation.
