10 years ago today. I usually don't do this type of thing but he was more than someone from a band I liked, and even more than an influential and talented musician, but an influence on me as a person. Self described as a "lover of life" and animals, and hated metal musicians that gave em all a bad rep (and boy are there many!) Also has made songs speaking out against "hard" drug use and abortion. Whether or not you agree, and please don't even http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=83445&SID=fbf4d7d7-78d6-f2d32735-644cbf31-5645bf3d#" rel="nofollow - start on it, many people would be surprised to hear such sentiments from the guy who helped create death metal. At the time I was getting into metal, including more extreme stuff, and it made me realize it is fine to just be me. That I could go around wearing my jeans, plain shirt, clean shaven and normal hair and still love metal...that I didn't have to wear all black and have long hair and spikes, and could still love extreme music and not be a jerk. Of course his band Death was a huge influence on metal, early on as the death metal band (which of course means thousands of bands today draw influence from) and later on an influence on technical metal, and bringing progressive elements into the extreme. Death is one of my favorite metal bands and has just created some awesome stuff. Great musician and person. R.I.P. ------------- Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal! Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

He's one of my biggest inspirations too. Simply one of my favorite musicians and a damn good human being too. RIP Chuck.

Chuck was probably the main source that transformed me into a fan of more extreme forms of metal. It's a shame I only learned of his works after he left us. Leaving the likes of Human and Symbolic for us to listen to makes for one heck of a legacy.  ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

| My friends and I are basically holding a party for him... In two weeks. What should the playlist be? Discography of death? Death and similar bands? It should go on all night so I require a rather large non repeating playlist. |

I had the privilege of seeing Death twice. Chuck is indeed sorely missed.
As far as the playlist for the party, you could add some stuff that Chuck was a fan of, like Kiss, King Diamond, and I'm sure much other stuff.

Sounds good, I have some King Diamond.
The problem with Kiss is that no one attending likes them XD Than again, it is for Chuck. |

Yeah, Kiss can be polarizing. Play Death's cover of 'God of Thunder' at the very least.
And if you read his wiki page you can see other stuff he was into like the obvious (Maiden, Watchtower, Slayer) to the not-so-obvious (Billy idol, jazz, Lush).

"Symbolic" is one of the greatest metal albums ever.

I like some Death's first albums. Not a fan of the progressive stuff later on. -------------  |
