RIP Jeff Hanneman
I don’t know what more to say but thanks, Jeff. Those Slayer records up to and including Seasons In The Abyss are all very special to me in many different ways, none more than Reign In Blood.
RIP, man.
RIP George Jones
This may be the first country and western post on this site, maybe the last. It’s been reported that George “The Possum” “No Show” Jones has died. One wouldn’t think that I’d have any C&W influence but that was the music that my dad primarily listened to growing up, and he was especially fond of George Jones. I have fond memories of hanging out with dad in the garage while he worked on old cars. GJ had a special voice and his deep pain and anguish that led to him to the bottle came out in much of his music.
RIP
RIP Clive Burr
My heart is saddened by the news that Clive Burr passed away last night. He was a fantastic drummer and seemed to be an all around good guy.
RIP Jon Lord
Such a loss. He was a fantastic musician and songwriter and I’m glad I got to see him live once. Amazing what he could do while rocking that keyboard back and forth.
RIP Greg Ham
I’m a huge Men at Work fan and have been since their first album. Read about it here and of my encounter with Greg in 1999.
