This intro to this one was my Create-a-Wrestler entrance theme back when you could add your own music to Smackdown games.

Quote

Svika Pick, the Israeli king of pop who wrote Dana International’s Eurovision-winning hit “Diva” in 1998, died on Sunday. He was 72. According to Israeli media, he died at home, although no cause of death was given.

The musician, whose career spanned six decades, was also Quentin Tarantino’s father-in-law, following Tarantino’s marriage to Pick’s daughter Daniella in 2018.

Dammit!

Taylor Hawkins' son Shane joins the Foo Fighters to play My Hero and he absolutely smashes it.

[NikoBaltimore]

It's kind of freaky how much he looks and plays just like Taylor.  I believe he's only 16 but if the band ever wanted to keep playing he would be somebody to consider when he's of age.

RIP Dave Sherman from The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, etc. 

 

[Curt McGirt]

RIP Gord, the one and only... Piledriver.

The Creator Has a Master Plan must be one of the most buck wild pieces of music ever made.

man, this Coolio news is hitting me harder than i would have expected. been listening to his music for the last 24 hours and have watched a ton of his stuff on youtube.

i saw him back in 2006 at some shitty danceclub that has since shut down. his portion of the concert was fun, but he was like 2 hours late and overall the night kinda sucked.

Rest in Paradise.

The coal miner's daughter, Loretta Lynn, has died.   She was 90.

 

[Zimbra]

An entire career full of bangers.  RIP

Also it sucks that Van Lear Rose doesn't seem to be streaming anywhere.

A legendary artist. The world is a little poorer today.

Wait a minute... is that the guy singing on this piece of legendary sleaze? I always thought it was Link.

Nah, that is Link. Gordon and Wray did a few albums together in the late 70s.

Now reporting he is still alive

[Happ Hazzard]

Dies, comes back to life and then dies again 2 days later. A showman to the end. RIP Killer.

Best Lewis story not involving a piano on fire has to be him getting arrested at Graceland for trying to visit Elvis while shitfaced and waving a gun.
