What about Windirs´ Valfar?And Chuck Schuldiner?I also dont get why Amy Winehouse´ Death is considered tragic.Correct me if im wrong,but didnt she just die cause she took and overdose?

Chuck Schuldiner.

Even though it's cliche I think Hendrix should be on the list. I don't know what you consider tragic but I consider the loss of someone who had so much more to write and achieve vs. Micheal Jackson who was a pop idol and famous in his own right I don't think he had much more to create. Other than that the list is good and I really like that you had Cobain he died to young.

not a big slipknot fan, i reckon?

His death made me cry. Although, it wasn't very tragic. He was addict, so his death was going to come sooner or later. His baby being born a month later made his death even sadder. But hey, she's got 8 other great fathers.

Wasn't he about to be a father before he died?

I had no idea he was even ded.
M sister listens to him.

yeah he died, about 2 years back. shook me and allot of my friends up.

While I do not think in any way that they are bad, I din think they let as big an impact on the industry as the others on this list.

I see your point, on a longer list i suppose he'd be included.

*them

I think Dime needs to be higher on that list.
I'm pretty sure he was the only musician to be murdered on stage in front of fans
Anyone who was at that concert that night probably emotionally scarred.

He may not be as famous as those other musicians but his death was pretty damn tragic

Well you have a point about him being a HUGE influence, but that remained in metal. In society, metal isn't considered popular

When one of the must popular bands of the 21 century makes a song about his death (Side of a Bullet- Nickelback), it's pretty damn tragic.

Zack Wylde (former guitarist for Ozzy) made a few songs and covers for Dime after his death too

That's my favorite Nickelback song. I don't like many other songs from them though, only really their older shit. from since they began up to about 2005 they had good music.

I may put him higher than BIG.

Well its just my opinion. Idk what kinda music you listen to but I listen to a lot of metal and Dime is my hero in the music world.

I wish I was born a decade or two earlier so I could have been around for the days of Pantera, White Zombie, and the rise of Metallica and Guns n Roses

I wasn't putting them onthe list for just skill, I put them On the list for impact.
But I think Darrell should be higher.

Frank Zappa deserves a big spot on there. He was an amazing musician and I've heard he wrote all his music sober too.

I haven't heard of him. My main guideline is that death of old age won't be on the list.
I'll put him as an honorable mention, with Whitney Houston, Eazy E, and Proof.

He died of butthole cancer.

How beautiful.

he's not that well known, so you might want to include on a bigger list (if you have one), but bugz of d12. he was killed over a watergun fight, which is fucked.

I was considering adding Bugz or Proof. That's when I realized I only know how they died because of eminem songs, so i decided against it.

makes sense, the others were more popular, so it's better to put them on the list.
