Aww... I've liked the band for years.

All that is known at the moment is that it was a suicide.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

God damn that's a tragedy.

I guess you could say he tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter.

Horrible joke.
I did giggle a bit tough.

I don't think I listened to much of his newer stuff but I definitely remember listening to a lot of the real famous ones and trying my hardest to 100% them in Guitar Hero. It feels so long ago now.

Horrible tragedy.  I remember listening to LP during a pretty bad break-up in 2001 and even dedicating a couple of songs to my ex.  Then when I met my now wife, we started to listen to them more.

RIP Chester.
