Glad there's no bashing on this thread yet. I was afraid to post this in fear of people bashing the band, despite his death. While I'm not a huge fan of their entire discography, City of Evil is probably one of my favorite albums in the last ten years. From what I hear, he is one of the more musical forces in the band, so it's quite a shame. This has really not been a good year for bands losing members. As much as I hate to say it though, the "natural causes" is bs. The guy is 28 for crying out loud, that doesn't just happen. That just seems to be more a pr quote than anything else. As someone else mentioned, these guys were known to be hardcore partiers. Regardless though, my condolences go out to his family, friends and bandmates.
