Most epic white boy fro in history. Made Neal Schon's like tame by comparison.

Rivaled Angela Davis' fro back in the day.

RIP drumming man.

If we're all being honest their first album is really the only one worth listening to.

That said, I played the ever loving shite out of it when I was in high school.

I was on an airline flight once when an old gizzer died - they just put a cover over him and let us all get off the flight. Don't know what they did with him.

This news sucks. I always wanted to play drums because of Sib. My wife and kids got me my first drum set for Christmas 3 yrs ago and he was who I started to copy. His pic was my first sig pic. He was a great drummer. Rock and Roll Band will play on.

I saw a man have a heart attack and die at a Texas Rangers game. Six rows in front of me there's a commotion, people run over and then an ambulance comes. The EMT's work on him, zap him and then talk to the guy's family. They get up crying and leave. The EMT's tell the crowd, "He's going to be OK!" and leave with him as people cheer. Two days later there's an article in the Dallas Morning News about a guy dying at that ballgame.

Ali Snackbar? Cruise was too much for him, or her or whatever it identified as.So hard to be non offensive.

It is overall the best, but don't sell the next two short. "Don't Look Back" was an excellent followup, and then when "Third Stages" finally came out, it, too, was of good work. Forget about any other album after those two, though.

This.

You're still at sea. Have to be some extraordinary circumstances to helicopter a dead body off a boat.

He'll nothing stops on a cruise. What's terrible is the friends and family that have to sit on that ship now.



I know someone this happened to. The crew did not tell the authorities at the next port of call, because the body would have been required to be taken ashore, and removal back to the US would have been difficult for the widow.

Sib was Armenian/Italian, not ME. His daughter is Duane "The Rock" Johnson's woman for like the last 7 years.

Didn't even think about that. Getting a body claimed and shipped from Belize or wherever may take a long time.
