This one hurts: Guy Clark, the eminently talented Texas songwriter, has passed. Nobody - not Dylan, not Neil Young, not Jackson Browne - nobody wrote songs like Guy Clark. An absolute craftsman of the highest order.

It keeps getting worse.

Chris Burgess, 27, a young guitarist in a local hard rock band Heinous Pianist - not rich or famous, or known to many people outside Hampshire, but was good enough to earn support slots with Karma to Burn, Wolfsbane and Blaze Bailey. Edited by Dean - May 18 2016 at 13:42 |

Nick Menza (Megadeth, Ohm) appears to be the latest victim of 2016. Just 51 years old.

Good or bad, he died what he loved doing. What more could a person ask for? i didn't know he turned his eyes to Progressive Jazz. I'll have to look and see if they have any recorded material.

I think it's probably difficult to overstate just how much an influence Rust in Peace had on the heavier strains of progressive metal. It's a borderline example of prog in and of itself (though if Megadeth had kept to its style they would probably have a page on the Archives as at least "Prog-Related"), but it's pretty much as technical and complex as thrash ever got. A large part of the reason it worked as well as it did was due to Menza's drumming. The man was a beast. The only other drummers in thrash I can even place in his league are Gene Hoglan and Dave Lombardo.
The fact that he died doing what he loved certainly makes his passing a bit less harsh, but still, I've had Rust in Peace cranked up to eleven and placed on repeat for a lot of the day. I suspect the rest of the week is going to follow along similar lines.
