Sad news indeed.

Sad times. Glad I saw him in his prime.

RIP. Also is it me or can anyone else see a mash-up of the lead singer from The Cure and Matt Lucas?

I remember seeing Slipknot at Ozzfest in 2002, their showmanship was phenomenal. Like Andy said, I'm glad i got to see him in his prime.

Sad news indeed.

Not a Slipknot fan but damn that's some impressive drumming in the YT video in your link! RIP.

Sad news.

Saw him live before they got really big. Awesome drummer.

Huge shame absolutely loved Slipknot as a teen and his drumming was second to none.

I used to watch my Disasterpieces DVD so much and mostly for this scene.

My first ever gig was seeing them at Manchester Academy in 1999. A couple of 13yr old kids definitely didn't fit in well with that crowd but i absolutely loved it. As mentioned above the stage presence of them all was absolutely incredible.

Amusing anecdote, they were in HMV doing a signing during the day, me and a mate skipped school to go, and i would've gotten away with it, except a photo of me queueing up appeared in Kerrang magazine and my form tutor used to read it :/

I mean, the first 30secs of 'Eyeless'... just wow. What a drummer.

EDIT:

Stupendously talented drummer, devastating news

I remember seeing him do the vertical spinning seat drum solo in approx 2004 and its still the coolest part of any concert I've ever been to. Sad news and too young, RIP.

Sad news, makes you worry. Only a few years older than me

 

[Shadowness]

Just saw this on the BBC news front page (glad it made it there).

I mean, the first 30secs of 'Eyeless'... just wow. What a drummer.

100% and still stands out as an amazing bit of writing over 20 years later. The sheer number of time's people have tried to immitate / copy his playing says it all really. Undenaible talent!

Amazing drummer, RIP.

 

[Alice In Wonderland]

Poor guy. He had an incredible talent. I know he had MS so I'm assuming that somehow contributed to passing in his sleep so young.

Jeez, dead at 46.

I never much liked Slipknot's music, but they were a good live band. I must have seen them 6 or 7 times and they never disappointed.

RIP dood.
