How does it get any more tragic than Randy Rhoads?

>>126992436 (OP)
Cliff Burton?

>>126992446
Definitely up there. And Randy was also technically killed by his tour bus driver. D Boon as well. But even then, Randy's was still relatively so tragic. I bet Cliff had a few years on him too. Randy was only 25.

Cliff Burton was only 24?? He looked like he was 44

Dimebag Darrell from panterq getting his head blew off on stage by a deranged fan was pretty tragic mm8kh4

>>126992480
He and his bandmates in Metallica were very young when they started. Just a bunch of kids.

>>126992482
Yeah I'd put that in the range of Lennon. They were also realy close in age.

For starters I just feel like Randy had so far to go. He was really just getting started. Darrel and Lennon were about 40

>>126992436 (OP)
How? I'll tell you how. Two words; Jason Becker.

>>126992436 (OP)
I'd put Duane right up there with the most tragic. Dude was only 24yrs old and shit was just starting to take off for him and the band.

>>126992508
Me? I'm an old man

>>126992472
D Boon

>>126992553
Jason Becker's fate his one of the worst of all but he's alive still
He can still pray and talk to God
Randy's or SRV's lives were just cut short

>>126992556
Damn, just like Cliff Burton. It's making me sad that so many promising rock stars died so young and just they were about to be famous.

>>126992556
Allman Bro's bass guitarist:
>On November 11, 1972, Oakley was involved in a motorcycle accident in Macon, Georgia, a mere three blocks away from where Duane Allman had his fatal motorcycle accident the year before. Oakley was riding around a sharp right bend of the road on Napier Avenue at Inverness when he crossed the road’s center line and collided at an angle with a city bus rounding the bend from the opposite direction. After striking the front and then the back of the bus, Oakley was thrown from his motorcycle, just as Allman had been, and struck his head. Oakley declined medical treatment at the scene after the accident and caught a ride home. However, three hours later, he was rushed to the hospital, delirious and in pain, and died of cerebral swelling caused by a fractured skull. Attending doctors stated that even if Oakley had gone straight to the hospital from the scene of the accident, the extent of his injuries was so serious he could not have been saved. He was 24 years old when he died, the same age as Duane Allman.

I'd just like to remind everyone that it's always sadder when good looking people die and randy was pretty hot.

She got the shit beaten out of her by James Brown and died of a brain injury at 24

>>126992436 (OP)
Duane Allman and Berry Oakley... Motorcycle accident, same spot one year apart barely in their twenties, buried right next to one another...
Picrel is Berry -bass player wearing sunglasses - playing at Duane's funeral... Thirteen months later...
Unbelievably sad...

>>126992436 (OP)
Randy was also just about to go solo or join a new band, maybe return to quiet riot.

The Exploding Hearts

>On July 20, 2003, the band was headed home to Portland on Interstate 5 after having played at the Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco. It is believed that Fitzgerald, who was driving, fell asleep and lost control of their van near Eugene, Oregon. Cox, 23, and Gage, 21, were thrown from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene and Fitzgerald, 20, died at a hospital. Guitarist Terry Six, 21, and manager Rachell Ramos, 35, sustained only minor injuries.The band disbanded in the aftermath of the accident.

SRV had only been clean for like a year. their performance at 1989 austin city limits was insane and he was playing better than he ever had

>>126992436 (OP)
The worst part of Randy's death is that he didn't even want to be on the plane in the first place

Billy Corgan's hair.

>>126994409
Yup he was coerced into some dumb ass stunt that got him killed. And I also read the pilot was fucked up on coke and seething at ozzy and trying to kill him cuz ozzy fucked his wife

Well, tragi-comic at least.

Was Sharon involved in Randy's death?

OP said tragic deaths not some uppity ghetto literal who no doubt asking for it

>>126996429
still can't figure out what is going on with his mouth in this pic. i know the plane was underwater and assumed it was a fish they either left there or put there by the coroner as a joke.

>>126992553
Hard to know which fate is worse, outright death or life imprisonment in a paralyzed body.

But I think Jason has it worse: having to watch your parents grow old and die from caring for you. Dear God, such suffering.

>>126992436 (OP)
I know the newfags will laugh but relative to influence/work still left to give and least deserving in character it's unironically SOPHIE. It's like something out of a neofuturist opera, you literally couldn't write it more cruel. Buddy Holly is the only other example I can think of on a similar level.

>>126992556
I wish footage was out there from those concerts he did with Clapton and Derek and The Domino's. Specifically Layla

>>126992436 (OP)
I will say that, as much of a boomer take as it is, the Day the Music Died has to be the worst. The real tragedy is that unlike a lot of stories about musicians dying young, there was absolutely no stupidity or poor behavior involved on the part of Valens, Holly or Richardson beyond Valens happening to win a coin toss. Richie Valens and Buddy Holly weren't even old enough to be hitting their primes, and the Big Bopper, who was a pretty innovative artist in his own right (invented the music video), was relegated to being the "other guy who died" given the talent of the other victims. Even if Richie Valens had lost that coin toss, Waylon Jennings would have died and been relegated to history as just some touring musician instead.

Patsy Cline's fatal plane crash (which also took Hawkshaw Hawkins) bothers me too. They had refused multiple offers to either ride in a car or stay an extra night until the weather cleared. So maybe it's not as tragic since there was more human error involved, but it's still a shame Patsy lived to be only 30.

Johnny Burnett's demise was kind of sad considering how the guy tried for years and never quite made it as a recording artist.

>>126996807
It's a camera flash or something similar like a glitch on the photo

>>126992436 (OP)
I was going to say Dinah Washington but she was almost 40 and likely would have gone commercially extinct after '64 anyway.

>>126997064
>newfags will laugh

should count mainly people who were still young and had a lot of tread left on the tires. i do agree Dinah Washington might have been nearing the end of the road in the mid-60s like most singers of her generation so i don't count her. Marc Bolan probably had more left to give, he died too soon. yet still i can't help but feel we dodged a bullet when we consider the thought of Jimi Hendrix making a disco album or an 80s pop album with giant drums.

>>126997443
>I was going to say Dinah Washington but she was almost 40 and likely would have gone commercially extinct after '64 anyway.
Sarah Vaughan released one of her most famous recordings in the 70s so you never know. Good chance Dinah still had some great music left in her.

Marvin Gaye getting shot by his own dad is probably the lowest of all time

>>126997756
He was already past 40 and had given us plenty so I don't think he counts as wasted potential.

>>126992528
>Yeah I'd put that in the range of Lennon
Happened on the same day as well, December 8th. Very strange.

>>126997777
Checked, although wasted potential is not the only form of tragedy. Most of the deaths ITT were just transportation accidents. Your own father shooting you in a drunken rage after you stick up for your mom during one of his tirades is Shakespearean. Marvin bought the gun his father shot him with

>>126994362
>the band disbanded

>>126997792
Do you think he asked his dad what was going on?

>>126997064

Viola Beach was even worse than this

>>126994362
Should've never tried going up that hill

>>126997800
He said "father, father, father, there's far too many bullets flying". Checked again

Without a doubt the largest loss of wasted talent in music history.

With such an amazing voice, great song writing skills and only one album ever released.

no mention of Eddie Cochran

James Brown did beat up Tammi pretty badly, and frequently, but she was also horribly beaten by David Ruffin, lead singer of The Temptations, especially after she announced their engagement when he was already married with kids. Apparently, he used a motorcycle helmet on her for that.

Tragic but moreover very bizarre: Terry Kath getting bored and playing with a gun and having a fatal ND.

>>126997289
dion dimucci was also on that tour and won the coin toss but felt guilty and gave up his seat
dion is in his mid 80s now and still with us. i listen to him all the time

>>126998065
she already had an undiagnosed brain tumor, so get getting beat like that only made things worse

>>126998068
he's just a fucking retard

>>126998068
>Kath picked up a semi-automatic 9 mm pistol and, leaning back in a chair, said to Johnson: "Don't worry about it ... Look, the clip is not even in it". His last words were, "What do you think I'm gonna do? Blow my brains out?"[38] To calm Johnson's concerns, Kath showed him the empty magazine. Kath then replaced the magazine in the gun, put the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. Apparently unbeknownst to Kath, the gun had a round in the chamber. He died instantly from the gunshot,[38] eight days before his 32nd birthday.

>His last words were, "What do you think I'm gonna do? Blow my brains out?"[

>>126998093
Why did the ghost of Johnny Ace possess him that day?

>>126998093
I get that pranking your roadies is just something you do as a musician, but he went way too far.

I don't count deaths like Little Willie John's because that was his own fault.

Harry Chapin

>>126993962
Blue sky is still the real southern rock guitar solo GOAT

Hank Williams was tragic but not as tragic as Buddy Holly etc because he was a drunk and did himself in.

>>126998093
Retards don’t know how auto loading pistols work, many such cases

Big Mama Thornton gave an extremely graphic account of Johnny Ace's death.

>>126994381
Yeah SRV dying in a helicopter crash right when things were starting to go right for him makes it doubly tragic.

>>126997803
Gladly

>>126998353
Musically he wasn't made for the 90s. It would have been a slow fade.

>>126992436 (OP)
He was murdered by by Ozzy's Father in Law who was elbow deep in organized crime.
Randy's plane crash was a message to his daughter who was in the middle of getting Ozzy's contract nullified.

>>126998379
His schtick was based on being a down-home rootsy reaction to the slick LA hair metal bullshit but of course once the 90s began he would have lost his purpose and anyway blues rock had returned to the mainstream in that decade so his work was complete.

>>126998381
So he paid their roadie to kill himself?

SRV would have fucked up his hands before long because he played really aggressively with heavy gauge strings. He was known to dip his hands in ice water after shows.

not sure how well Patsy Cline would have adapted to the remainder of the 60s either

>>126997839

Enwords do it all the time

I know that he was already in his forties when he died and he had a long career behind him but Mick Ronson's death still makes me sad.

i remember that documentary where Bootsy Collins is like "I gotta hand it to James, he was over the age of 50 before he went nuts."

>>126998607
why did he do it?

>>126998845
Idk. Sad I guess. Didn't like himself.

>>126998864
many such cases. my brother went out the same way

Facundo Cabral, Argentinian singer/songwriter. He was already old, but he didn't deserve that kind of death.
He was killed in 2011 in Guatemala when a cartel ambushed his vehicle, the real target was the promoter due to his ties with drug trafficking.

>>126998607
>Danny Gatton. One of the greatest guitar players you've never heard of.
"The Humbler." D.C.'s very best.

Roy Buchanan getting murdered by the NoVA cops ranks up there, too.

>>127000372
Thank you, not enough Buddy Holly in this thread.

Although Randy probably has him beat because Buddy actually chartered the sketchy flight that killed him while Randy was hesitant.

>>127000328
Why do you think they did it?

Fuck medical racism.

>>126996396
Arguable
>The NTSB investigation determined that Aycock's aviation medical certificate had expired[31][32] and it was reported that Aycock had been the pilot in another fatal crash in the United Arab Emirates six years earlier.[30] Sharon had been aware of the prior crash, but hadn't informed anyone else on the tour. In the moments after the crash, she reportedly admonished tour manager Duncan for allowing their people into a plane with a pilot who had been using drugs all night, telling him "Don't you know that man had already killed one of the Calhouns' kids in a helicopter crash?"[15]
According to other members of the band, the very next day after Randy's death she altered his contract so his royalties would go to her and Ozzy.

>>126998700

>>126997787
Oh wow I didn't know that. Darby Crash was killed by someone within 24 hours of Lennon. Casey Cola shot him up. And Darby and Lennon were both acid cult music leaders. Darby went to some hippie school where acid was really big even with the teachers.

Mindy McCready's dog.

>>126992436 (OP)
Randy's brother and Rudy Sarzo have both said after he'd seen out his contract with Ozzy, he wanted to go back to music school but also form a new band that combined his loves of metal, prog and classical music - realistically probably something in line with the Alcatrazz debut or Yngwie's early solo work.

Prince and Tom Petty seem like preventable deaths

>>127000711
I don't think the cops intended to kill Roy.

I think Roy was a big guy who liked to drink, and who didn't like the cops giving him trouble. I think the cops, for their part, were tired of Roy being drunk and most of all Roy repeatedly and very vocally not respecting their authoritah.

So one night when the cops rounded up Roy for being drunk they roughed him up to remind him who was boss. But however they did it, he ended up in his cell dead (and it might have been like Berry where in the moment Roy seemed OK, and only died after the cops had left his cell to let him "sleep it off").

But when they came back to check on him Roy was dead. So they sat his body on the floor, took his tie and loosely tied it to the cell bars, and ruled it "suicide."

D.C. Telecaster players seem to meet tragic ends.

(Mike Stern is probably lucky one of Roy's Tele's was stolen from him.)

>>126992436 (OP)
I know Scott Weiland and STP had accomplished quite a lot before he died, but I had always wondered how things might have been if Scott was able to stay clean for good.

>>127002302
The other side of that question is how much of what Scott (and other users like him) did create was *because* of the personality demons and use of drugs.

"They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said no, no, no"

>>127002423
That is the other side of the coin, you are right. A large chunk of what we have from STP is because Scott had done those drugs. We would not have Interstate Love Song had Scott stayed clean.

>>127000714
Eric Dolphy was killed by actual medical racism. He had diabetic shock and the German doctors assumed he had heroin withdrawals because he was a jazz musician. They failed to take simple steps to revive him and he died on tour

Nigga please. He was a great bassist, but he was also a dumb junkie who started countless fights he couldn't finish and one of them lead to his demise. He didn't "deserve" it or anything but that's not more tragic than dying in a freak accident when you were 24 or even getting murdered by a rando at 37.

This. They were morphing into a solid group on Street Survivors and Steve Gaines was why. His guitar playing was 10/10 on You Got That Right, That Smell, I Know a Little. What a stupid loss. Overall I’d say Jim Croce is my tragic choice. “Operator” and “Don’t Mess Around with Jim” are legendary

Paul Gilbert called Shawn "the scariest guitar player on the planet."

Paul Kossoff
If he hasn't died at 25 he'd be as famous as Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, EVH, Hendrix, any of these guys
But he died and has been largely forgotten

Tim Buckley. Hes barely remembered outside of big music/folk fans and people who like his son more but he was a massively determined artist and after a string of mediocre records towards the end of his life he had an artistic resurgence and was about to have another shot at becoming a legend. He sounded so mature and wise beyond his years and yet somehow he was only 28 when he died.

"Scariest guitar player" usually means some boring shredder but he was good.

>>127008095
Shawn was utterly unique. There's the old guitarist joke that goes "How many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb? 20 - 1 to change the bulb, and 19 to stand around saying 'I can do that.'" No one who heard Shawn ever said "I can do that."

Even Guthrie Govan, one of the planet's best guitarists, was in awe of Shawn's abilities.

The most mind-bending thing I ever saw Shawn do was at a sound check. He was playing the keyboard parts to a song from "Powers of Ten" on the master keyboard controller. But then he pressed a patch change button and suddenly started playing all the guitar parts - *on the keyboard*. And *then* he switched patches again and started playing *all the drum parts - again on the keys*. And he kept doing that, going through all parts of all the songs in the set. He could simply rewire the parts that needed to be played - guitar, piano, drums - through his fingers to whatever instrument happened to be in front of him.

I've been a professional musician for a long time, and seen and appreciated most of the greats (either live or on video), and what Shawn was just casually doing as part of his warmup was the most amazing musical thing I've ever seen.

Gord Downie was murdered by witches like in Rosemary's Baby.

>>127006576
the thing about Croce, he could really write great songs. like, even if you don't like his style, they're objectively really well written. and everyone knows them when they hear them since they were popular enough to become generally-known, American songbook type of songs. but he died basically before he saw any of that admiration, he was getting popular but his biggest successes were all posthumous.

I'm not a big fan or anything, but that's just sad

Everybody into the pool!

John Balance. Coil never stopped getting better and experimenting, by 2002-2003 they were starting to mix traditional instruments with electronics, then Geoff completely fucked himself up with vodka and fell, perhaps by accident, perhaps by suicide. At least we got The Ape of Naples and The New Backwards after that, then Sleazy died too and it was over.
Maybe it was inevitable because you can't stare at the abyss for so long while remaining fully sane and intact. It's also crazy that they made a song called Who'll Fall? 13 years before he died.

Shinji Sato was tragic too, Fishmans were also at the top of their game when he died.
I'm also thinking of Bud Powell, Nick Drake and Sam Mehran.

>>126997064

The incident in an alley with some young black gentlemen on a sizzling summer night in 1992? It was a crime of passion

Jackie Wilson: had a massive heart attack on stage and collapsed and stopped breathing right after singing the line "my heart is crying" from Lonely Teardrops, audience thought it was part of his act and applauded...
by the time people figured out he was ill, got him breathing and he was rushed to the hospital he had suffered brain damage from lack of oxygen and after treatment he lived in a semi- comatose state, aware but unable to communicate or move, for nine years before he finally died.

He was 49 and had had a good career and hung out with his pal Elvis (who paid a bunch of his medical bills) so he got to be a star and enjoy his fame, but lingering for nine years unable to move or talk had to be hellish, especially for someone known for his dynamic performances that rivaled James Brown's.

wtf, i had always heard he shot himself in the leg. this is insane

>>126996515
he didnt want to. He was on his way out but Ozzy was literally begging him to stay in the band and then he got killed the next day

>>127004013
how would getting rid of the second amendment help anything? he snuck in the back door

>>126992436 (OP)
How did ozzy bring him down?

>>126997839
I remember seeing his death on the news and looking into his music. This song will always live rent free in my mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZzAHSU8jXo

>anon is so low IQ he gets triggered and outs himself on an anonymous fart bottling forum when he could have said nothing
Many such cases

>Keith sitting on a chair labeled "Not To Be Taken Away"
Feels bad man
Then you listen to the album and feel even fucking worse

his death is so tragic because it wouldn't have happened if he'd been on meds.
did he start all that shit? sure, but it was alsmot certainly because of mental illness that seems to have been very obvious to anyone who knew him

not that friends could have helped
but doctors could have ---- if they'd known

>>127015296
he was in his 40s, not exactly the same as others ITT who died in their 20s.

His death was tragic because it could be prevented. RIP.

>>126997839
That plus his estrangement with his piece of shit father.

I heard he flew out of the back of the van astride a Fender Twin amp, waving a cowboy hat like the bomb scene in Dr. Strangelove

This. Buddy had released like 20 historic songs by the time he was 22. The loss is so important that it's almost incomprehensible. Pop radio was still in the fucking dark ages at the time and it took until like 1965 for the Beatles to fix it. Buddy could have done it earlier had he not died.

>>127016546
He knew Kurt could have drew dimes in the cruiserweight division

>>127011833
I just hate how overrated he is as a person. The dude was a junkie who if he hadnt killed himself he would have killed his son

Eric Dolphy and Marvin Gaye, as in genuinely tragic and unnecessary deaths. Honorable mention to Lee Morgan.

He bought his volatile father who beat his mother up a gun? I can see the hand of fate in that one.

I always found Phil Ochs' death particularly tragic.

Justin Lowe and Valfar

that guy that was married to Joan Baez's sister. can't remember his name. was friends with Bob Dylan. guy was more of a writer but had albums with Baez sister too. i think i enjoyed them 25 years ago or whenever.

Interesting how nearly all these hip hop medical deaths had to do with heart, blood, and kidney issues. Do blacks have more fucked up hearts, blood, and kidneys, by chance?

>>127002985
yep, came to post this one. a genuine tragedy
failed by the doctors, failed by fellow jazzmen

Aerosmith was supposed to fly with that same pilot a short time before but their management changed plans because the guy was so obviously a drunk shithead.

https://youtu.be/UcVOYPUL5S4?si=GnvF2hiXwMQYB7yO
Jimmie Rodgers. The guy basically invented country music as we know it.

>>127022653
Well I think he was super and totally would have let him fly Aerosmith.

>>127022727
There's an alternate reality somewhere where Aerosmith are revered, universally beloved legends because they died in a plane crash and never released anything after Rocks.

>>127022423
have you seen any video of how blacks cook or what is in their filled ebt walmart carts?

Danny Carey from Tool was a good friend of his becore they got famous, apparently Jeff was just a guitarrist before making his debut album so Danny had no idea he sang.
When they met up years later after he had released Grace Danny went up to him and asked him what the fuck all that gay whailing was that he did all over the record kek.

Jaco always had the biggest ego, he literally introduced himself as the world's best bass player even before he got famous and went up to other legendary bass players like Marcus Miller and Anthony Jackson and told them to their faces they should get lessons with him in his hotel room. Only Miles Davis was more arrogant than Jaco so it's no wonder he eventually FAFO'd when he was a strung up junkie shamble instead of a young man.

>dude did instagram schizo shredding two decades before it went mainstream
it's just a bunch of quick random bullshit like Holdsworth if he were to take speed.
the most impressive thing about it is that he's so fat yet agile.

Easily the worst post in the thread. Liking shit music is bad enough, but Sophie fans are always so arrogant and up their own ass about it.
>Only Buddy Holly comes close to the tragic loss of this talentless tranny!
That's just insulting.

That's not tragedy, that's just Social Darwinism

>>127004495
This is a thread about tragic deaths, not retards getting what they deserve. Literally all 90s artists are "I cry about my drug habit until I die." Zero sympathy, zero fucks given. Their deaths are to be celebrated bcuz one less junkie is one less junkie.

Even Rhoads and Skynard are basically "drunks who did stupid shit and paid". Probably Cliff too, if the truth ever came out.

>>127026288
>>127026347
Rhoads was sober, and the pilot assured him and the wardrobe lady that he wouldn't do any stunts because the wardrobe lady had a heart condition. That's why they agreed to get in the plane. They believed him and died for it. It was basically murder-suicide.
