Dimebag Darrel for me. Not ridiculously young at 38 but murdered on stage, horrid way to go.
Would've loved to have seen how he would've progressed. Doubt we would've seen a pantera reunion but I still would've loved to have seen him live.
Absolutely.Would've loved to have seen how he would've progressed. Doubt we would've seen a pantera reunion but I still would've loved to have seen him live.
Also, Jeff Hanneman. Clive Burr. Cliff Burton. RIP y'all.
'Legend' is a very subjective term depending on your tastes, but I really miss Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit.
His well documented issues with his own mental health - he foretold his own suicide by chucking himself off the Forth Rd Bridge - on their most revered album The Midnight Organ Fight were a huge clue that he was not long for this world. For those fans left behind we just saw the kind, funny, self-effacing side of his persona, but he clearly was very troubled.
Sadly his spin-off band Mastersystem made an excellent album in 'Dance Music', released shortly before his death, which never really received the plaudits it deserved. I miss seeing him and the rest of the band of on the festival circuit.

Sadly his brother & drummer Vinnie died suddenly in 2018, too. A shame but they were both mssively popular and iconic guys.

Greatest drummer ever? Jury is still out.
Biggest rock n roll lifestyle? Got to be.
How he performed to such a high standard while being utterly wrecked is a miracle
What do you call a bloke who hangs around with a bunch of musicians? The drummer.Greatest drummer ever? Jury is still out.

What’s the difference between a drummer and a drum machine? You only have to punch the instructions into the machine once.

Great calls for Sandy Denny. It seems a bit suss how she died in my book too.
Sandy had some mental health issues and would 'seek attention' by falling over, throwing herself downstairs etc. and did it once too often. Nothing sinister.Great calls for Sandy Denny. It seems a bit suss how she died in my book too.
Terribly sad loss.Other great talents that went too soon:
Judee Sill
Lowell George (Little Feat)
Gram Parsons

Maybe not a legend but Chester Bennington died too young. Very talented at what he did within the genre.
IMHO he is a legend. His voice, he could do both heavy and melow, and both were amazing. I never saw them live, nearly went the year before, but didn't, now kicking myself.
Ian Curtis, what could've been.
