Ex-NAPALM DEATH Guitarist JESSE PINTADO Dies - Aug. 28, 2006

Guitarist Jesse Pintado (TERRORIZER, ex-NAPALM DEATH) died over the weekend in a hospital in Holland, Century Media Records has confirmed. A pioneer in our musical genre, Jesse and his influential sound will be sorely missed. BLABBERMOUTH.NET would like to offer our most sincere condolences to his family and friends. Century Media Records will make a further announcement later in the week.

In a recent interview with Rockdetector.com, Pintado spoke about his final days in NAPALM DEATH.

"The departure was basically due to a variety of reasons," he said. "We shared a house together, we toured together, we were always together, but people move on. Along the way there was a little rough bumps, though I don't know. In my situation it got to the point where I needed a little fresh start. I'm still good friends with the guys; there's no animosity there, we're all cool, and they're happy with what I'm doing."

Asked if the media twisted the situation in some ways since it was reported that the band stated he had personal problems and alcohol issues," Pintado replied, "Yeah, of course. The other day I was browsing the Internet, and they stated I was dead! I thought 'Oh shit, I'm dead!' I really don't pay much attention to that."

Pintado's final release was the long-awaited TERRORIZER reunion CD, entitled "Darker Days Ahead", which came out last week via Century Media Records.
 
I haven't really paid attention to Napalm Death for... I dunno, about a decade or so, but they were certainly extremely important to exactly 92.1398% of the metal I listen to. RIP.
 
It's like the metal scene goes through this every couple of years. Every few years people start dropping like flies.
 
I met Jesse back in 1994 on the Fear Emptiness Despair tour, one of the nicest people I've ever met in the metal scene. This is a damn shame.... diabetes sucks. Lost my father-in-law to it at the beginning of the year. And the man just released the new Terrorizer a week ago.

RIP Jesse, you will be missed.
