A Tribute to 5 Musicians That Passed Away To Soon

Recently I've listening to old band and its sad to know that some of this talented musicians died to soon. Imagine what it would be like if we live in a world were Kurt Cobain is still alive and playing. What if that fatal car accident in Sweden never had happend and Cliff Burton were still Metallica's bassist.

Kurt Cobain ( February 20, 1967- April 5, 1994) : we all know what happed here and how sad it was. Even If I was a little girl, Nirvana has been one of the most influential bands in rock, they were the pioneers of grunge with The massive sucess of "Smeels Like Teen Spirit" we all thought that we will be lucky enough to have this amazing band for more time. On a tragic april 5 Kurt Cobain dies by disputed reasons and leaves us all with nothing more than a letter. Kurt we love you,rest in peace.



Sid Vicious (May 10,1957-February 2, 1979): This great bassist was part of one of the most influential bands in rock history: The Sex Pistols. He was the attitude of punk music according to many biographies. He died at the age of 21.


Dimebag Darrell(August 20, 1966- December 8, 2004): I know that mostly of the people that don't listen to metal dont know this guy. He was one of the most influential guitarrist of the early 90's with his band Pantera. His solo for the song "Cemetery Gates" Is one of the best solos ever recorded. His job with Pantera was so great that critics named "Vulgar Display of Power" one of the albums you should hear before you die. Dimedag was killed by a mentally ill fan in a concert at the age of 44.


Ian Curtis(15 July, 1956- 18 May, 1980): Joy Division's lead singer and vocalist . He was a huge Sex Pistols fan and today Joy Division still one of people's favourites band and their songs are timeless. Ian died at the age of 23.




Cliff Burton(February 10,1962-September 27, 1986): This is the saddest history of all because Cliff was no drug user and he didnt kill himself, the reason of his dead was a car accident in Sweden while he was touring with Metallica at the age of 24. Cliff is still one of the greatest bassist, he was part of the greatest Heavy Metal album: "Master Of Puppets" and his legacy will live now and forever.
