Which part?

Rock stars are supposed to take tons of drugs and die early. It would be sad if they didn't.

That's the price they pay for having much cooler lives than the rest of us schmucks.

Not cocaine. Vinnie's drug of choice was cheeseburgers.

I know nothing about that kind of music but I met that guy in LR once. He was a nice fellow.

Damn, he used to always come to my hotel a few years back when we had a certain rock show residency. First time I met him I had no idea who he was. Seemed like a pretty good dude.

Same my buddy acted like he was a real rockstar but I assumed he was exaggerating.

It just occurred to me how much Phil sounded like Geoff Tate of Queensrÿche at the beginning of that song

Phil's got those Ozzy/Keith Richards genes. He's gonna live a long time. Rex isn't looking too good these days. Vinnie was a big fat unhealthy frick but I didn't expect him to go so soon.

That sucks - saw HellYeah in BR a couple of years ago, Pantera multiple times in the late 90s/early 2000's. That will pretty much end all the reunion rumors with Zack Wylde.

Rex is fine he’s just channeling his Iggy Pop.
