RIP Tom Petty

[PilotsFan]

Wow. Such a great talent.

I'm seriously heartbroken over this.  My two biggest musical heroes, Tom Petty and Scott Weiland, are now gone.

Another huge loss for the music world

Rock in Peace, Tom.

Not dead, but not looking good, either...

I feel the same way Kretzl. What a shitty day! I am a sentimental person but, behind closed doors usually and this all hits a lil too close to home. I spent last week in the hospital with my father over a heart attack and almost lost him. He is the reason that I am a half assed musician and my gauge but, Tom and Scott opened my eyes to see that music is art like paint on a canvas. You never know when it's your time. It puts shit into perspective. I feel like I just gotta stay inside because I just can't stop crying about this. I haven't felt like this since Scott and before that it was Dimebag. I suppose that they are a really big part of who I am, musically and there is no one even comparable to Tom and the boys' dynamic on a recording. I just keep listening to this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSvlJe1mwlw[/size][/font]
