Wow, this year is starting off pretty brutal.

RIP sir, you were a great drummer.

R.I.P. Reed Mullin.

Being from NC, this one hits close to home. I've met Reed and he was such a nice guy!!

RIP.

I only own their self titled album. Will spin it in honor of Reed.

Sad to hear.

Geez, it seems like the Universe has it in for drummers this year so far.

R.I.P. sir, will grab my Deliverance CD for the ride to work this AM.

So far, January is "Spinal Tap month".

Sadly, this was not surprising to hear. When I went to go see C.O.C./The Skull/Mothership this past fall, I was wondering what had happened to Reed Mullin behind the kit? I had no idea he was suffering from the grips of alcoholism, like he was. This is still very sad, but not surprising.

Alcoholism is a big problem for musicians because they have so many hours of idle free time before a show and usually a lot of beer or booze available. Jeff Hanneman died from it, Rex Brown almost did... and I’m sure if Dimebag was still around, his drinking would’ve seriously affected him too.

I saw Corrosion open for Danzig in 2017. Hampton Beach Casino, NH.
Never owned any of their material, but obviously knew their name.
They were pretty damn good. Nothing at all like Danzig. Fun night out.
