This is an article in which I tried to bundle all the great losses of rock'n roll and modern music. That means all the musicians which are worldwide known and died at young age (before 51 years old). I tried to give a little information about the way they died. Most of the information I got from Wikipedia. When someone thinks I forgot an artist or that the information is incorrect... I'm open for new information.

The list is in order of age of dying

For the artists older than 36 I'll recommend you Pt 2;

The plane flew into a blinding snowstorm and crashed shortly after takeoff. This is known as "The Day The Music Died".

I full well realise that the content of this may confuse some.

This has been sitting and brooding in my mind for quite some time now.

How many independent labels exist in the DIY scene? Hundreds... Thousands... Hundreds of thousands? I would bet a pretty penny that the number exceeds anything any of us could muster up from the dustiest corners of our minds.

They are all different in some way, even if the defining point may seem a bit blurred to an untrained eye. But then again, how trained does one truly need to be to acknowledge something so very blatant?

Avete mai fatto caso a come le figure dei cosiddetti "serial-killer" esercitino una costante influenza sulla cultura popolare? Inutile citare i film e i romanzi (tantissimi) ispirati a queste figure maledette, concentriamoci invece sui riferimenti agli "s-k" disseminati nel mondo della musica, rock e metal.

- David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz: citato, ad esempio, nel testo di 'Insane in the brain' dei Cypress Hill;
- Ten Bundy: 'Ted, just admit it', canzone dei Jane's Addiction;
- Jeffrey Dahmer: 'Dirty Frank', canzone dei Pearl Jam, Dahmer è citato anche nel testo di 'Trigger inside' dei Therapy?;
- John Wayne Gacy: 'Pogo the clown', canzone dei Dog Fahion Disco, il personaggio di Capitan Spaulding ne La casa dei 1000 corpi di Rob Zombie oppure gli stessi Insane Clown Posse;
- Ed Gein: 'Nothing to Gein', canzone dei Mudvayne;
- Ed Kemper: l'unreleased-track dei System of a Down 'Forever' pare si riferisca a Kemper;

SEPTEMBER 2008 RELEASES

ESP-DISK, the premiere American avant garde record label of the sixties -- one of the most turbulently creative periods in music history – has returned to reclaim its rich legacy with a series of releases that include reissues of groundbreaking out of print albums from its extensive catalogue, exciting previously unreleased live sessions from its vaults and new recordings that follow in its great tradition of presenting cutting edge modern musicians under the banner of “The artists alone decide …” The latest collection of compact discs from the company is comprised of re-releases: three important free jazz dates by Lowell Davidson, Gunter Hampel, and Karel Velebny, and a freak-folk session by MIJ from the label’s glory days, digitally remastered and attractively packaged with reproductions of the records’ striking original art work and reminisces from label founder Bernard Stollman, along with a brand new trio cd from French bassist/compser Stephane…
