TALENT WE LOST​

R.I.P. Gary C. “Gar” Samuelson (MEGADETH): February 18th, 1958 – July 22nd, 1999 (41)

Highly influential MEGADETH drum legend Gar (Gary Charles) Samuelson would’ve turned 67 today (February 18th, 1958).

He died on July 14, 1999 (Bastille Day) at the age of 41. Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? my most-played Megadeth album. Rust In Peace a close second. You?

R.I.P. Robin Peter Kendall “Robbie” Bachman (BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE): February 18th, 1953 – January 12th, 2023 (69)
