| Musician Deaths
A list | | 1 |  | Elliott Smith
Either/Or
Suicide or murder, the guy was immensely talented, and his music helps a lot of people (including myself) and influences a lot of people as well. To this day his death is murky details to say the least, but if he was still alive and clean God knows how much more amazing music he could have released in his lifetime. | | 2 |  | Stone Temple Pilots
Core
Scott Weiland was an incredible singer but kicking the drugs for some people never really ends does it. Enabled by people around him and the idiocy of "being a rockstar", dug his own grave financially and physically, and ultimately it put him there. | | 3 |  | Linkin Park
Hybrid Theory
I remember reading the breaking news at the time Chester Bennington took his life thinking "How the hell did we not see this happening?" Looking back at the lyrics, the man was begging for someone to just help him and it's really tragic how it all ended. | | 4 |  | Soundgarden
Badmotorfinger
Chris Cornell was the last person I'd expect to also take their own life, but after the death of his close friend Chester Bennington, and an apparent secret battle with prescription pills, we're just left with the fucking amazing music this man released. | | 5 |  | Slayer
South of Heaven
Jeff Hanneman couldn't stop drinking, so he died. Plain and simple. After his death, members of Slayer, such as Dave Lombardo were quoted as saying that Hanneman "Was drinking a Coors tallboy always....always". Which even as someone who enjoys to drink fairly but moderately, I can't imagine how much goddamn alcohol that is in one lifetime, nor do I want to know or experience it. Slayer is one of my favorite bands, and while their last records with Hanneman weren't anything special, it'd be much better if he had been alive to make some new stuff and, more importantly, be alive. | | 6 |  | Motorhead
Ace of Spades
I was going to put this higher, but the fact that Lemmy legitimately enjoyed his life up til he died makes it less tragic than the others. The man was a legend for drugs, alcohol, and being the one you had to keep up with. The fact he even lived to his 70's shows that the human body is stronger than we think. | | 7 |  | Mother Love Bone
Apple
Almost famous. Had the ability to probably become huge in the 90's, but Andrew Wood's death at just 24 ended their career. The amount of talent heroin killed in the 90's is staggering. | | 8 |  | Alice in Chains
Jar of Flies
The best voice of the Seattle bands by far, the best band to come out of the flood of Seattle grunge. The MTV unplugged show was like a Renaissance painting. Layne Staley in the center, literally on half a life left due to heroin. Jerry Cantrell trying to control things, the drummer a full blown alcoholic. Mike Starr was just as bad on heroin as Layne Staley. But yet they were so talented it didn't even affect the performance or music (yet) | | 9 |  | Jason Molina
Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go
Such a talented guitarist and different genres. Another guy who just never knew when to not drink. The saddest reality is that death by drugs and alcohol is pretty avoidable. | |

01.08.20 | tbf that single comment was more entertaining than this entire list | wham49
01.08.20 | Lemmy was not tragic,
he would be the first to say that he lived a full lifetime, and we have about 20 albums to remember him by | Intothepit
01.08.20 | I feel like we just read an 8th grade report on his favorite artists who got him through his mom's 3rd divorce. | chemicalmarriage
01.08.20 | Lmao holy shit | Sinternet
01.08.20 | VERY COOL AND IMPORTANT LIST | SitarHero
01.08.20 | Mike Starr didn't play on AiC's Unplugged. | Grimlin
01.08.20 | Cornell died before Chester, for what it's worth | Aerisavion
01.08.20 | “Chris Cornell was the last person I'd expect to also take their own life, but after the death of his close friend Chester Bennington“
Really, dude? Might have checked who died first before posting... |
