The New(ly) Dead Thread

[SuperTimCahill]

Phil Campbell, guitar player in one of the best bands ever, Motörhead, "passed away peacefully last night following a long and courageous battle in intensive care after a complex major operation." Absolutely loved the guy, so this is a tough one. Will be playing some Motörhead this weekend, that's for sure.
