I heard about it on the way to work last night, not really a fan of A7X but still slightly saddened at the loss of another musical person.
I found out the night it happened. A7X are my all time favourite band, and to say I was devastated by the news would be an understement. It's like I lost a friend, and I am still having a hard time believing it.
I don't like A7x much, but he was a good drummer and I'm sure it must be devastating to those close to him. RIP.
They were an ok band in the 90s. Good drummer. Never liked his choice of snare though. I know tons of kiddies at school who'll be crying.
