I can't say I'm too surprised, but it's a loss to the world of music all the same. I expect there will lots of jokes flying around soon.

Definitely one of the most talented people to ever be a part of the Music Business.

Well...to be honest no one really cared about Chuck Schuldiner that much

No, its not really that it's that Micheal Jackson is much more well known obviously, so there is bound to be jokes. Especially with all the shit he's been through/done.

I can't think of any jokes that would even work with Chuck Schuldiner.

That's my point. He wasn't as well known. And if we're on the topic, as much as I make light of the subject..I hold Wacko Jacko in higher regard.

Because he was a normal, decent human being.

Wait wait now...I'm not even a Jackson fan..but even though the man had some screws loose (quite a few)..he didn't seem to be a bad person...of course I could be wrong, don't know the man personally. Same with Chuck..however on a musical level clearly one accomplished a lot more than the other. I meant on a grand scale, Jackson's death is making a bigger impact as he was a massive music legend. Let's not turn this into a "how great Chuck is" thing..because he wasn't all that miraculous and if we're going note for note between the two Jacko still comes out on top

i was listening to him since the late 80s, i remember the first ever album i owned was "Bad" on cassette, most of my musical influenced came from him, at least on a melodic level.

did anyone remember his film Moonwalker? ah, good days.

wouldn't it be crazy if this was some kind of hoax. I mean if anyone was gonna do something like he seems like he would be the one to do it.

because he was supposed to do all those shows right?

but thats just a bit crazuy i think

:rolleyes:

Jackson helped redefine pop (well, maybe, who knows who turns the gears of pop music behind the scenes, I've never actually seen him constructing music on his own with an instrument or otherwise), and Shuldiner helped redefine the extreme ends of metal assuredly with his own two hands and unmodified voice. Take what you want from that based on what's relevant to your ears.

Edit: * Variant has no interest in a pissing match over Jackson's life, music, or otherwise... really.

Merged all MJ threads into this one. Keep it repsectful, folks. While I have my own mixed feelings about this, let's not turn this into a flame fest.

Thanks in advance.

Wow . . . I'm not going to lie and say that I was a huge fan while he was alive, however, I did respect him for the musician he was because I knew he revolutionized pop music, and it is a damn shame that such an icon of music died so suddenly and fairly young.
