The R.I.P. Thread

Andrew Wood, Layne, Kurt, Mia Zapata and now Chris. So much loss for such a small scene.

A couple 7 Year Bitch members died as well. Bass player in Mad Season. Im sure there are others.

Yeah, Mike Starr of AIC and Ben from Gruntruck.
And that Mad Season was a great album too. My friend had a live video of them and the one with Lanegan singing with Layne was really cool.

That whole scene up there has been shredded.

Eddie Vetter is still kicking, he went to San Degido highschool with some friends of mine.

[Millionaire Wussy]

I vote yes on a still kicking thread.

R.I.P. Roger Moore, 89. If S.P.E.C.T.R.E. couldn't do it, cancer did.

Roger Moore was my favorite Bond.

RIP Greg Allman

"Gregg"... ex of Cher. 69 is too early, but he lived life hard.

My favorite song from his band (I like Ramblin Man as well)

[Bolt-O]

He sounds outstanding here in "Midnight Rider" from a couple of years ago.

Founder of SURFER Magazine passes away at age 83

It is with a heavy heart that we announce John Severson, Founder of SURFER Magazine and patriarch of modern surf media, passed away Friday evening in his sleep. He was 83 years old. Born in December of 1933 in Los Angeles, Severson began surfing at age 13 after his family moved to San Clemente. He released his first film, Surf, while serving in the U.S. Army in Honolulu. Severson would join Bruce Brown, Bud Browne, and Greg Noll as surfing's original filmmakers in the late '50s and early '60s, touring productions like Surf Fever, Big Wednesday, and Going My Wave up and down the California coastline. It was Severson's promotional artwork for his films (a highly-talented visual artist, Severson received an M.A. in art education from Long Beach State College in 1956) that led to his foray in surf publishing. He designed a 36-page magazine composed of surf photos, cartoons, sketches, and more to advertise the release of Surf Fever in 1960. He would call it The Surfer, later becoming the Surfer Quarterly in 1961. The success of the magazine eventually allowed Severson to bring on staff members that included cartoonist Rick Griffin, photographer Ron Stoner, and editors Drew Kampion...
