In honor of...

Today I felt like paying tribute to some awesome guys who left this world way too soon.



Clifford Lee Burton,


who died on a bus crash, while touring with Metallica, on 27 September, 1986. He definitely was a vital element within the band, and along with Kirk, James and Lars, he changed the music world forever.  I wasn't lucky enough to live with him in Earth, but I can say I am lucky as well for not being alive yet when this horrible thing happened. Cliff, thank you for your beautiful music.            

Dimebag Abbott Darrell,


who had, maybe, the most tragic death. In case you don't know yet, he died on stage, during Pantera's show, with a shot, from a fan (what a freakin' asshole) with mental disorders, in Ohio, 8 December, 2004. With only 38 years of life, he left us. He rocked like no one ever did or will do. Dime, brother, you are NOT forgotten.
Ronnie James Dio,


who was the latest big loss to the world and any "heavy" music fan (I think he doesn't even need presentation). He died pretty recently (May 16 - 2010), after a battle with stomach cancer, at the age of 67. He was the first guy who passed away when i really liked him. I knew him already, loved his music. When I heard the news through some of my friends I was numb, because he was such a great icon in the rock/metal world, he belonged to one of the most important and legendary bands in our history. Needless to say, you'll be remembered forever, this world will always be a Heaven & Hell, as you would say: "-The world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams". And, for the record, this was the guy who created the "devil horns" that you all know well - \m/. Thanks for sharing your gift with us and changing so many lives. Dio, we love you.
