RIP man. Your music ruled and influenced future generations of metalheads. I will never forget your contributions to metal, as you influenced many good bands.
...Please... people are just paying a little tribute to great ones... when you lose a friend, you think about him at least once a year... Well Chuck followed some of us everywhere we went with is music so he is like this presence in our life so it's only normal to be reminded of him at LEAST once a year..
I'd actually talked to Chuck on several occasions and had a brief letter correspondence with him when I was younger, so I considered him more than just some dude who played guitar. Yes, it was years ago and my life does not revolve around the deceased. But if you have a problem with me remembering a friend and artist on the day of his death go fuck yourself with a broken bottle. Or have a Draino/kerosene cocktail and die chocking on stomach lining and vomit. Have a nice day.
