    Yeah. Music isn't the same without guys like that. Eddie was heroic. He was really freaking good!

    Yeah, 5150 was the album that got me into rock then metal. Album came out when I was 14

    Before that was into like Talking Heads and Michael Jackson

    There was a time when I thought the song "Get Up" on 5150 was too heavy, lolz, then like a year later I'm listening to Slayer

    RIP Eddie

    Yes drug abuse has taken a heavy toll on rock stars (though not cannabis) but Watts, who was 80, died while recuperating from an unspecified medical procedure.

    Stevie Ray Vaughn died in a helicopter accident, with many claiming he had an eight year NA medallion around his neck. We must celebrate our heroes, and that means making a note of their victories, and not assuming anything.
