That's tough to call, although I would like to point out that Bill Ward is not dead. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Man, where's Vitek from Decapitated? For me he's the biggest loss. It's probably because I'm a fan of the band, and I know how hard it must have been for these guys to become death metal stars in this piece of shit country. Most of all, he was an awesome drummer with unique style of his own. I still remember how devastated I was by his death. Can't imagine what Vogg(Vitek's brother) must have felt. ------------- http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/ |

All untimely deaths (and "regular" deaths for that matter) are sad. Personally I would like to have seen Thin Lizzy with Phil Lynott. I�ve seen them a couple of times with John Sykes singing lead, but it�s not really the same now is it? ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Right, John Sykes is much better on vocal with Blue Murder and solo |

Ah, Lynott! But I hesitated between him, Cliff Burton and Chuck Schuldiner. Ronnie James Dio and Jon Lord were excellent musicians, but one can't say that they died young before showing new tracks for the next generation. |

Cliff Burton, Criss Oliva and Chuck Schuldiner. The first was mainly responsible for that very special aura of 80s Metallica, his contribution ranginig from the plurality of different music that he brought to the band that made a huge impact (compare Kill em All to Ride the Lightning) to the down-to-earth, "fuck the mainstream way" attitude. However, history has been written without him and ...And Justice for All is a masterpiece. Criss Oliva along with Andy LaRocque are, in my humble opinion, the best metal guitarists. Ever. Criss had the ever elusive perfect balance between flawless technique and endless inspiration, his phrasing is totally otherworldly. Savatage was never the same without him and I think if he was still around we would hear amazing progressive metal from the band. But again, history has written itself. Chuck Schuldiner on the other hand was a dedicated musican and passionate all-around metalhead who never released an even "merely good" album. He had way more stuff to contribute and I was (and still am) very curious to hear what Control Denied or anything else would have turned out like. History just stopped with his death. Even the second Control Denied album cannot see the light of day for fucks sake (any year now, come on...). That's a tragedy right there. Vote to Chuck. ------------- 42 |

Not dead yet but I need to make an honorary mention to Jason Becker. That genius of a guitarist still has tons of music in him and he just can't release it. A tragedy on every count. ------------- 42 |

Oh man, I didn't know about it... ALS may be even worse than death. Feel so sorry for that guy.

Perpetual Burn is by far my favorite guitar album. Altitudes man... The album he did painstakingly note-for-note, by moving the mouse with his head and making the click by opening his jaw (imagine writing the score of an 11 minute piece like this), "Perspectives" makes me a better human being just by listening to it. The End of the Beginning is such a masterpiece and Michael Lee Firkins (a GREAT guitarist) really does justice to Jason's composition. I love Jason Becker man. Once I wrote a fanboy gushing all over mail to him, a little less than ten years ago, and I got a personal reply. That made my decade. ------------- 42 |

In terms of how they left the world, Dimebag. In terms of youth/potential, guys like Burton and Rhoads. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

It was sad for sure, but I wasn�t shocked. He had been living on the edge for many years prior to his death and drug and alcohol abuse take a toll on your body. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Out of those, I've personally seen Cliff Burton, Ronnie James Dio, Randy Rhoads, Jon Lord, & Gary Moore in concert. I wish I could've seen Criss Oliva & Dime too, at least

I'm a huge Alice In Chains fan. So Staley's death is the one I mourn the most. Nevertheless, in terms of "biggest loss" as the title suggests, Chuck Schuldiner is the obvious choice for me. I mean, he died right while he was artistically at his peak, making albums arguably increasingly better than the previous ones. Just imagine, what could he come up with after albums like Symbolic, or The Sound Of Perseverance?. Such a pity we'll never know that |

| I voted for Jon Lord - not very Metal I know. I have been listening to Jon my whole life as Deep Purple were one of the first 'Heavy' bands that I got into in 1971. His work with Purple, Whitesnake & solo including his classical stuff is all superb and he was always a class act live on the twenty or so occasions that I saw him. |

Not an easy vote to cast, personally Chuck, Quorthon, Cliff, Randy and Criss Oliva are all big losses to the metal world for me but I've chosen Chuck. |
