Chuck - 21 years!

[ZEEGLER]

It has been 21 years since we lost him. Imagine the music he would have created in that time.

Chuck Schuldiner, the godfather of death metal.

I think this every time I listen to them. Rock in peace out there brother

Still kicking myself for missing that tour over the summer.

Best songwriter in metal, ever.. The hooks, the grooves, the riffs.. NOBODY comes close.

Human, Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic, and The Sound Of Perseverance are my tops. Human is probably my favorite. The riffs man, the riffs.. He was one of a kind.

The older stuff is good too, but he started peaking with Human.

This cracks me up..

know who he is but have never really listened to him....

Love Death. Chuck is a huge influence on my guitar playing.

Death IMO is the only band in history where each album was better than the last album . Each one got better .

 

[Exo-metal]

One of the iconic masters in my book and a good person as well, so sad. RIP Chuck, you are truly missed. Loved his line "Let the metal flow."

 

[Jack Luminous]

Saw him live for the first time in Paris in 1995. What a punch in the face ! Awesome show !

Death IMO is the only band in history where each album was better than the last album . Each one got better .

Guitar-wise I would agree, but Leprosy is by far my favorite album. And Scream Bloody Gore too.

I really liked it more when the songs got super progressive. But I like them all . SOP songs have this feeling that’s amazing

Not too sure about that. It could be said up until Symbolic(their best).

I know most won’t agree with me but I truly felt this way . Like I was saying before the songs on SOP just really say something powerful

He had such a great fun style that’s fun to play and that’s key .

 

[gbsmusic]

Just another one we lost too soon! So sad

 

[MetalThrasher]

RIP Chuck! I was just listening to Individual Thought Patterns a few days ago! Chuck is one of the reasons why I play guitar! Didn't he play though a Marshall Valvestate 8100?

Guitar-wise I would agree, but Leprosy is by far my favorite album. And Scream Bloody Gore too.

Sound of Perseverance, Leprosy, Scream bloody gore, and every album after for that matter...I never tire of Chuck's riffage, licks, and vocals...incredible.

I always warm up with a Death riff or two. Suicide Machine intro, Open Casket, Vacant Planets bridge etc. It's always fun to play, even after all these years !

Hell ya . He’s such a great player for people who don’t like death metal to get into . He had soul

Human, for me, is when he upped his game and really focused on more riffs, hooks, time-changes, and groove. And Di Giorgio on bass? He killed it on Human and Individual Thought Patterns. At the time, it was certainly unique. There's no two ways about it. And let's not forget about Control Denied.

Many don't know, but Chuck NEVER wanted to be the singer. Actually at a point, hated it. His vision was to have a Geoff Tate type vocalist.

If any of you have Amazon Prime Video, "Death By Metal" is an excellent Death documentary. Very in-depth, very humbling, (and of course, very sad too).
