I hated Warrant so bad but I have to admit it's a (little) sad seeing one of them die.
I saw Jani Lane on some reality show (flippin channels) about a year or two ago. He
looked so bad. Drugs and alcohol, man they f#ck you up.

You understood my point. If someone, even one person, understands why I said it, I appreciate it.

About a few years after I got hooked on hard rock when I was a teenager,Gary's playing blew me away.
Alhough I really enjoyed bands with good looking dudesback in mid 80's, Gary was the only exception,being not so good looking,whom I really got to love and respect.
He was one of a few heroes of mine I was dying to meet. Luckily, I already met my  top 4 out of 5 favorites, RATT, John Sykes whom I met as a winner of contests, Glenn Tipton in '08 and finally the Metal God himself last year. It was so fortunate for me to have gotten the opportunities.
If I could've met Gary as far as hard rock- heavy metal world is concerned, I would've had no regrets. Now he's gone. One of my dreams won't come true.

When I was 18, I tried hard to encounter Gary so that I went to Roppongi Prince Hotel (now it's closed down) dressed as a non-metalhead and went into a restaurant hoping to see a glimpse of him. No Gary, but able to meet Neil Carter, former UFO member, who is a superb keyboard/guitar player.
He gave me his autograph. I even asked him to give Gary a present & letter. Looking back, it seemed rude of me for asking a favor like that.
Soon after at the lobby, his crew told me the day was Neil's B-Day. I rushed out of the hotel and ran to a nearby liquor store and bought a big bottle of Japanese sake.
I didn't look minor so that enabled me to buy it. Then headed back to the hotel, there he was at the lobby. I gave him the bottle and left there.
Besides him, there were Bob Daisley (ex- Ozzy Osbourne band) and Chris Slade (later AC/DC) looking at me like WTF?.   
I really wished to meet one of my favorite guitar heroes.

A month before Gary passed away, I was really starting to check him out on YouTube remembering old days, his shredding era, even found Neil Carter's website.

Gary was starting to play his hard rockin tunes these days so that I was really really looking forward to see his live again. 
I hope guitarists who look up to him understands how shocking it was to learn his passing. He wasn't just a guitarist, a legend who influenced even John Sykes.

This article tells about his girlfriend.

Love this song by Gary Moore.  

You don't get my point, do you? The thread starter said this thread is not about showing the LIST of dead musicians.
Whether or not it came from Revolver magazine is nothing to do with the point I mentioned.
This thread is not Revolver magazine and magazine cover all kinds of topics and that 's a general notion.

As Budred did to another member, I will do it exactly what he sent in the pm showing discomfort to me.
He wrote "Are all gay people so angry?"

I hope he understands exactly how another member felt when he put that member on spotlight.

		Budred was simply remembering all the fallen hero's as published in Revolver magazine. So that makes Revolver magazine disrespectful and disgraceful too? I don't think so. It makes a person think, reflect and appreciate all the incredibley talented people that have left this world far too soon. It also makes me appreciate all those musicians that are still with us all the more. RIP to all those great musicians, you will all live on forever in our hearts.

Interesting video of Ronnie signing autographs and slammig Vivian Campbell

Man, did he die and if so when?  I saw Molly Hatchet back in 1981. They put on a great show.
I always liked older Molly Hatchet. I saw them again in 1992. Good but not like the early days.
I haven't listened since.

Great scene with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken from True Romance.

With the passing of Ronnie James Dio I thought a thread that we could post about some of the great names in rock and metal who are no longer with us would be a good idea. This is taken from the Live at Radio City Music Hall dvd. I was lucky enough to see RJD and Heaven And Hell about two months after this was recorded when they did a show here in NZ. I was absolutely amazed at the power of Dios voice ( at the age of 65 ) and his enthusiasm and graciousness toward the fans. It was a great show.
