Awful news. Steve is one of my favourite singers ever.
I have been buying a lot of his albums lately.
Will play them in honor of him.
R.i.p Steve. You will be missed

I played his solo abum "Personal Crisis" today, as a tribute.
We have lost one hell of a voice.

I discovered Grim Reaper thanks to Scott's NLTM website back in the day.
Rock you to hell became an instant favourite.

One of my favourite albums. Too bad that this band barely gets any recognition:

If anyone here has been arrested….. If anyone has known a fugitive…a musician too…. Cops knock on your door - you shrug - No way are you going to say sheet…. Cops want to rough you up and scare you…. Keep it true.

Sad to hear the world lost another great singer. He experienced so much, recorded tons, but even 62 is still too young.
I don't have any Grim Reaper CDs, but I'll play my Onslaught - In Search of Sanity CD tonight.

When did I know I wanted to storm the stage and scorch the rock? One of those times was when I caught the video to "See You In Hell", probably it's premier, coz I was glued to MTV from it's first on air video-killed-the-radio-star moment through it's many "on hair" moments like seeing Stryper's Calling On You and Waysted's Heaven Tonight back to back, and those impressions they made, pushing me toward the amp and the six silver strings that were holding me and to this day do still.... I 'm sadly belated in discovering this, on the heels of the death of author Peter Straub the news itself coming to my notice....

I'm one of the very few people who considers In Search of Sanity to be the best album from Onslaught.
