I don't know who here listens to metal, but Mitch Lucker, vocalist of the band Suicide Silence, died in a way most of us are unfortunately familiar with......a motorcycle accident. Not a sport bike, but all in the same. Lost control, hit a pole and thrown off.....into an oncoming truck......

Didn't know him personally, but he made great music IMO. His fans will miss him.

***********I posted here because its not a personally known subject, so I wasn't sure if it should go in fallen riders. Move it if it is any issue please.

I was kinda shocked when i first found out, even though he made metal music, he seemed like he wouldnt hurt a fly. Anyone know if alcohol was involved?

I'm not sure, but i'm doubting it. And he was the kind of guy that got along with everyone from what I've heard. And an amazing father to his daughter as well. As a former vocalist in a local band, I look up to a lot of metal screamers, and he could belt them out. I know my buddy, the one who told me, was just devastated. He played guitar in our band and the band was an idol to him.
