WHAT, noooooo! Oh man, that’s terrible news.
RIP big fella, time to smash a few Black Tooth Grins with Dime.

 

[Daniel Sobota]

Super bummed. Not the best news to read after you’ve just woken up. This really fucking hurts…
But he’s with his bro now, and I’m sure they’re making afterlife heavier with their jams. RIP Vinnie.

 

[Jak Angelescu]

Thunder and lightning together again. I bet A7X is absolutely damaged right now. Poor guys

 

[Ed Seith]

That unstoppable GROOVE. A Texas badass with a drumkit at his prime. Vinnie lived as large as he was, but this – this is raw talent. Remember, this was from before quantizing, triggering, and sampling really took hold in heavy music. Check out how consistent he was. Damn.

 

[Daniel Sobota]

Becoming is easily his best performance imo. Those double kicks are mindblowing. As you said Ed, his groove was undeniable.
