Who doesn't remember his goofiness in the 80's videos? What a shame.

Oh no. I loved Men at Work. Wonder what happened. Says he was only 58,
Very sad to hear this news.

I have always thought the riff in Down Under may have been a subliminal copy of Kookaburra, not a straight 'rip off'. The whole thing left a very sour taste in the mouths of many Australians, because that song defines the country to so many people overseas.

RIP, Greg.

Oh no is right... I have very fond memories of "Who Can It Be Now" and "Down Under"...a good time in my life...my thoughts to his family.

We all loved 'Down Under' here and it would be quite a popular song on the 80's scene. It was one of those 'anthems' we grew up to! So sorry to hear that one of its creators has passed away.

Greg Ham - RIP.

I know! :weep:This is something I can't help thinking about. Since I don't really listen to new music, someday will truly be "the day the music died".
Well, that's not true - the music will live forever, but you know what I mean.

RIP Greg Ham.

Yeah PM - I know what you mean. And you too, Soda. It hasn't been a very good week - that's for sure. This is very sad and my heart goes out to Greg's loved ones.

R.I.P. Greg Ham.
