RIP Chuck Schuldiner

Most ridiculous statement you've posted yet. Sure, you don't have to like Death or Chuck, but to say that they haven't influenced any good bands? Black Sabbath hasn't influenced any good bands, either, in that case.

Relax Will he was probably coming off a bad Right Guard huff and Valium high.:lol:
 
Symbolic and Sound of Perseverance are my favorites. I'm not a huge Death or Chuck fan, but I loved his guitar tone. His playing was really nice and smooth, if maybe a little overrated by some people, but he was a great guitarist. There are many guitarists who have surpassed him technically but he had a specific touch that was really nice.
 
I've yet to hear anyone else that can make a Marshall Valvestate sound like that. His style is immediately recognizable, he always had thee best musicians in town, and his songs/riffs were always top notch, always ahead o' their time.

I've compared him to Frank Zappa, just more.... eeeevile?
