December 11, 2008, 15 years ago
Drummer Richard Christy (ex-DEATH, ICED EARTH, CONTROL DENIED) has issued the following update:
"I want to let all of my metal brothers and sisters know that this Saturday, December 13th is the seventh anniversary of the passing of my dear friend, the heavy metal legend Chuck Schuldiner. Chuck was my band-mate in the band Death and not only was he an amazing friend and the nicest guy I've ever known but he also wrote the greatest metal music of all time, so this Saturday crank up your favourite Death album and toast our Metal Brother Chuck Schuldiner. Also please raise a glass of your favourite beverage this December to toast the legendary metal master Dimebag Darrell who passed away this month four years ago. I met Dimebag many times and he was a super nice guy and always happy to hang out with the fans. I had the honor of playing a show with Pantera in 1998 at the Dynamo Festival in Holland when I was drumming with Death and it was a dream come true to be the opening band for one of my all-time favorite metal bands Pantera. I was also lucky enough to hang out with Dimebag after the show which made the day that much more perfect. So please be sure to crank up your Death and Pantera albums this month to honor two of metal's fallen heroes."Death - 'Lack Of Comprehension':
