Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 11, 2018 Acclaimed rock drummer Ben Graves (MURDERDOLLS, DOPE, PRETTY BOY FLOYD) passed away Wednesday, May 9 after a year-long battle with cancer. He was only 45 years old. The news of Ben's death was broken on Facebook by his fiancée Lydia, who wrote: "Most of you don't know that Ben has been battling cancer for the last 11 months. It was his decision to keep his health very quiet.” The bastard! SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,641 Posted May 12, 2018 Every time I see a drummer pegging out at an improbably young age I'm reminded that 71 year old Lee Kerslake semi-retired 11 years ago for health reasons (alcohol and mental demons being a big part of a noxious cocktail of troubles). I've wasted valuable deap pool team selections on the man already. But he's definitely one to keep watching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FixedBusiness 407 Posted June 23, 2018 My favorite Pantera track. May be their most famous too but I'm not sure of the charting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,437 Posted June 23, 2018 They had 3 UK Top 40 hits - Planet Caravan, the aforementioned I'm Broken, and Walk, which sticks in the mind mostly because of ECW. 14 years since Dimebag died? Blimey. I remember exactly where I was when I heard that news, though as I was having lunch with one of his old friends who'd spoken to him only 2 days previously, that's sort of a memory booster. It's a small world. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
