Well...... let's talk about legends...... those artists that are not with us anymore, but their music and their legacy will always be part of us...... this thread is a celebration...... a tribute to them...... to their music...... to their art......

So...... I guess that this can be one of the better way to begin......

Ronnie James Dio - Jul 10th 1942 - May 16th 2010



Well...... I've never had the possibility to see him live...... I had the ticket to see HEAVEN AND HELL but he died some months before...... I imagine him sitting beside the Devil, with his horns-up, keeping on singing about "heaven and hell"...... R.I.P. Ronnie James...... you are a legend......

R.I.P. Ronnie...
Here another awesome legend in the world of music...

Mister Jimi Hendrix.
A founder of a lot of the nowadays great music out there.
If i could wish to see one man play live... this is the one. R.I.P.

Maybe, for Jimi, the word "legend" is too small......

Well...... here we have a guy...... I don't know if some of you guys have heard his name...... anyway, they told me that he was a bass guitar player...... that once has played something with a band...... and that one fucking horrible day he passed away in a even more fucking horrible car accident......

Cliff Burton - Feb 10th 1962 - Sep 27th 1986



R.I.P. Cliff, we miss you so much...... keep on beating the strings of your bass and shake down the pillars of heaven......

Cliff... damn...
Another one then who we all remember too well i think, even the younger ones...
Kurt Cobain, the man who invented grunge...

Kurt Cobain, the man who invented grunge...

And surely the ancient ones do...... I still remember when I read the news "Kurt Cobain shot himself"...... well...... at that time I still was a little "integralist" with music...... I was an open-minded metal-head, but a metal-head anyway, and mostly oriented on the extreme shores of metal...... but I remember that "nevermind", an album that I felt strange and someway "indigestive", in some other way had opened some still unknown door in my mind...... and I would understand it only after a few years......

Well...... we have to mention this guy...... and it's better to say it now......

Freddy Mecury - Sep 5th 1946 - Nov 24th 1991



The band was QUEEN, but he was the king...... please, help me, because I'm not able to find the words...... I can only say R.I.P. Freddy...... you was made in heaven...... and in heaven I imagine you......

Some smaller and perhaps not as well known fallen musicians who I miss dearly

David Gold - Woods of Ypres. June 19 1980 - December 22 2011


I had tickets to see WoY in their first ever UK gig, but David passed before the concert. Forever one of my favourite musicians.

Valfar - Windir. September 3 1978 - January 14 2004


Mike Alexander - Evile. June 22 1977 - October 5 2009


Quorthon - Bathory. February 17 1966 - June 7 2004

For Freddy

Chuck Schuldiner - 13 May 1967 / 13 Dec 2001 (Death, Control Denied, Slaughter).
He was the founder of the metal band called "DEATH" and he died for a cancer in 2001.
