Worst Deaths in Music

#1. Dimebag Darrell- The 9/11 of heavy metal. Dimebag was a riff machine who revolutionized metal in the post-thrash environment. Ironically, the killer believed Dimebag caused Pantera to break up, even though it was Anselmo's drug abuse.
#2. Cliff Burton- Metallica never was the same after his death.
#3. Randy Rhoads- He was very talented for his age and made some great riffs and solos. He could have been unbelievable if he lived longer.
#4. Chuck Schuldiner- He made intelligent death metal that was still as heavy as anything Cannibal Corpse did. Cancer killed him. Cancer sucks.
#5. Quorthon- Bathory was one of the most important first wave black metal bands, and a driving force in creating beautiful viking metal, long before the lame NSBM imitators emerged.
#6. Phil Lynott- After a short slump, Thunder and Lightning was one of Thin Lizzy's heaviest albums to date. It was also their last. I think the band would have made a great metal band if they just lasted a little longer!
#7. Euronymous and Dead- Mayhem was an interesting band that changed black metal forever. Dead committed suicide and Euronymous was murdered by Varg. But for a short time, they were the premier 2nd wave black metal band!
#8. Freddy Mercury- Despite Queen's up and down career, Freddy was consistenty great at showmanship and singing. Very few frontment can compare to him.
#9. Piggy- Voivod was one of the most unique, interesting thrash metal bands of its time. Like Schuldiner, it was cancer that killed him. Cancer sucks.
#10. John Lennon- After a long slump and many bad Ono songs, he was beginning to get back into music, and perhaps even a great comeback after a mediocre initial return album. He never got a 2nd chance, as he was murdered.
Post your top 10 if you want.

While those are all tragic, Lennon is the most tragic. Flawed, but my hero. And I reject the notion that he had a slump or that "Double Fantasy" was mediocre. That album is fucking great.
After that, Cobain.

Dime and Pantera revolutionised heavy music more than any other metal band aside from Black Sabbath. That is the most fucked up moment in music history ever.

Lizzy broke up in eighty three, though I agree Lynott's death was tragic?

1. Lennon
2. Cobain
3. Morrison
4. Holly
5. Mercury
6. Presley
7. Cash
8. Rhoads
9. Van Zant
10. Axl (if you believe all the stupid ass rumors that we get once every two months)
No offense to Dimebag, but I think alot of people are going to pick him just cause it was the most recent (and definitely most tragic).? That's just human nature to think the recent is always the worst.

I would say Mercury for the great charisma he put in every show.
Lennon he was a very controversial guy yet had great ideas in life and music.
Cliff burton even though he couldn't reach his highest peak with Metallica it's a great loss
Randy also was a great influence in a lot of guitar players of heavy metal
No order whatsoever I think they all has they thriumph in music history, RIP all of you
We all miss you

Dimebag and Freddy Mercury - they still had so much to give - what would Queen have become in the mid to late 90's? What would Pantera's reunion album have sounded like? We never got to find out.

He did too many drugs, which is why I heard the band broke up in 83, and that's what killed him later. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Pantera was still putting out great songs (before the breakup) and Dimebag still had a lot of riffs left in him. Guys like Elvis and Cash were more or less burned out and finishing up their careers. Dimebag's death was worse because he could still make great music.

People pick him because Pantera are one of the most respected metal bands of all time, and love or hate Dime's music, the man did make a ridiculous number of brilliantly memorable riffs and solos, he had a distinct style - and when u look about the metal scene, honestly, where is a better guitarist?

Well you're right to a degree, Lizzy were allegedly told that their planned tour would fail unless they promoted it as a "Farewell Tour" and so they agreed it was time to end the band, Philip put out another album and formed Grandslam. Eventually Lynott, Downey, Gorham and Sykes decided to reform but unfortunetly Phil overdosed so it couldn't happen.

Don't get me wrong, I love Dime's music and play his riffs on guitar about every day.? My point was that if any other famous musician died back in the 70's or 80's instead of 11 months ago it might affect one's list differently.?
I mean, I even proved my own point.? I totally forgot about Hendrix and Hoon.?
But I guess talking about musicians and their importance of death is kind of like arguing who's shit is browner.? There's no right answer.?

I'd haveto say the deaths that affected me most are from musicians of my time. In no particular order.
Shannon Hoon
Kurt Cobain
Dimebag
Layne Staley (Sad fucking situation was that and he got NO recognition, Asshole media swept him under the carpet)
Randy Rhodes
Cliff Burton
Also I'm not a fan but, Biggie, Tupac, Easy E
then there are the guys like Lennon, Mercury, Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Harrison, Bonham, Cash, John Denver, Elvis Rickie Valens, Buddy Holly, Ray Charles etc. etc. etc., but they really had no impact on me I'm too young and/or not my style of music.
