Didn't think of it at first, my only reaction was shocked and sad because they are one of my favorite newer metal bands.

However, nothing remains now, or summat. (I probably blew my chance to make one now)

Shame

 

If he straddled The Pushbike Song and No More Heroes he'd have been one hell of a musician

It's ok. I admit that when I first saw the article posted in thought it said "Stranglers", then I thought, I don't remember him ever being in any incarnation of the band

I don't think they can just wiggle out of their tour obligations.

Ahhh.. sad, but it was a continuous up and dwon with him for the past 3-4 years. Apparently, the "miracle" cures can only give you so much time.

Fucking short listed bastard.  He made it to a final 50 or so (who's counting) but last I saw was he was PERFORMING again with Warbeast, so I put him in the wait and see pile.  I guess we waited, now we are seeing.

Its really amazing how many rockers drop dead around 67-72.   Grace Slick is such a famous outlier and exactly why this is Ginger Baker’s year, sad to say.

Top contending DDP pick Lee Kerslake has received his platinum discs that he asked for. That’s good to hear.
