    Totally shocked to hear of his suicide tonight. Always had such powerful songs and lyrics. One of my favourite bands. Mental illness is an absolute bastard. :(

    It really sucks! He was a voice of my youth and hybrid theory is a truly great breakthrough album. Also from all accounts a great guy. Sadly mental illness takes another life. I imagine the cornell suicide a month or so back really hit him hard. It's truly saddening RIP

    Surprised at that. Kerrang had them listed as the biggest current rock band in the world.

    It was always an ambition of mine to see them live. Won't happen now though :(

    Wasn't a fan of the music (not heavy enough for me), but yeah way too young to go, suicide apparently.

    I did love his film cameo's though, his scene with Jason Statham in Crank 2 is hilarious:



    Also he had a good scene in the gore fest that is Saw 7:

    Tragic news, massive influence on the modern rock scene's. Just goes to show all the money in the world can't address some issues. RIP x

    Sounds like a skater park.
    Couldn't name a song or musician from that band.

    As Donald Trump would say, "sad, very sad".

    I thought I could name one of their songs, 'Rollin', but it turns out that was Limp Bizkit, so I don't think I can. I know their name though and I'm sure there's a lot of people who like them and are upset over this.
