Ive heard of the name but never listened to the sounds. Its a shame when talent goes too soon. R.I.P.

[Corpsepyre]

Fuck. Gost had some real bangers. Sad :(

Suicide, ugh. He posted a message a day earlier which foreshadowed this. He lost his partner.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Skeletor committed suicide? Thats unfortunate, but, I cant feel bad for him. Death is release but if its by his own hand, then frowned upon. Still R.I.P.

can't feel bad for him huh

[Dr. Gonzo]

Yeah, sorry. I didn't feel bad for Chester. I did feel bad for Kurt but I was too young to understand back then. Suicide is not cool.
