One of my favorite times seeing him was seeing him close out ACL in like 2006 or 2007 and the skies opened up and it started pouring and people started leaving but Tom just kept right on playing, so I'm standing there soaked cell phone ruined just in awe of the performance. The worse the weather was the better he was playing. It was surreal.guysmiley wrote:Everyone I knew growing up had that Greatest Hits CD in their car. Even chicks I dated who didn't like rock. Like it was issued to us at birth. Loved the guy. Fucking sad. I should have seen him when I had the chance.

Vocalist appeared on 1986's 'We Care A Lot' and 1987's 'Introduce Yourself'
Charles Henry "Chuck" Mosley III, best known as former lead vocalist of Faith No More, died yesterday, November 9th. He was 57. While his official cause of death has yet to be revealed, Mosley's family, who announced the news, attribute his passing to "the disease of addiction." "We're sharing the manner in which he passed, in the hopes that it might serve as a warning or wake up call or beacon to anyone else struggling to fight for sobriety," they said in a statement.
Born in 1959, Mosley grew up in Los Angeles. In the late Seventies, he met Billy Gould, Faith No More's eventual bassist; he played in several bands (including Gould's first band, the Animated) before enlisting with Faith No More in 1985. Mosley fronted the band for its first two albums, 1986's We Care A Lot and 1987's Introduce Yourself. Due to personal and creative differences, Mosley split with the band in 1988, following Faith No More's European tour behind the latter release; Mike Patton stepped in to take his place.
Post–Faith No More, Mosley did a two-year stint as the lead vocalist for seminal D.C. punks Bad Brains, and later formed the funk-metal band Cement, who went on to release two albums in the early Nineties. In 2009, he released his first and only solo album, Will Rap Over Hard Rock for Food; the record featured appearances by members of Faith No More, Korn and others.
Mosley is survived by his long-term partner Pip Logan, two daughters, Erica and Sophie, and his grandson, Wolfgang Logan Mosley. The family will be accepting donations for funeral expenses; details are currently TBA.
Yeah, culminating in Axl Rose finishing their tour as the frontman after Brian Johnson was more or less sacked.SR wrote:Yeah, sad. I never knew thought that dementia causes death but rather impairs other fight functions of the body and mind to resist other disease. My mom was diagnosed but lung cancer got her well before any collateral damage from dementia manifested. She did immediately write a letter with paragraphs to my dad and each of her children to be revealed after her death though.
This band has had a really weird year/18 months. This, the Rudd attempted murder shitstorm and the loss of the lead singer and yet they continued.

Babymetal touring guitarist Mikio ‘Ko-Gami’ Fujioka has died at age 36.
Mikio Fujioka, the Japanese musician best known as the resident guitar virtuoso in Babymetal's Kami Band, has died. He was 36. According to a statement from Fujioka's wife posted on the late musician's Twitter account, the guitarist died on January 5th while recovering from injuries he sustained in a fall from an observation deck — where he'd been stargazing — on December 30th.
Babymetal confirmed his passing in a Twitter post today, January 9th. "The 'Little' Guitar Kami of Babymetal's Kami Band has passed away in the metal galaxies," the pop-metal group wrote. "We hope that he is now with his guitar master Allan Holdsworth and enjoying an epic guitar session with him."
Born in 1981, in Hyogo, Japan, Mikio began his career in music as a guitarist and songwriter for Young Guitar magazine in the Aughts, penning and recording songs to help his fellow axemen perfect their craft. In 2013, he enlisted as a member of Babymetal's Kami Band, where he became known as Ko-Gami, which translates to "The Small God" in Japanese (a playful nod to Mikio's 5'2" height). In addition to performing with Babymetal, Fujioka lectured at a Japanese music college and authored several guitar textbooks.
