The Who's John Entwistle Dead

crazyj was among several Slashdot readers who, knowing my obsession with the greatest band of all time, submitted that The Who's John Entwistle died. His death occured one day before the start of their summer tour. The Ox was an amazing bassist, and I'm glad I got to see him play. Those fingers would just fly up that fretboard. He'll be missed.

    jackass.

    a man who is loved and respected by a lot of people here has died. if you don't care that he died, then don't post. have some bloody respect.

    this has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. whenever slashdot posts about somebody dying, there's a pile of insensitive clods like you that post about how it's not news for nerds and doesn't matter.

    even if you have no inclination to mourn yourself, let other people deal with his death in peace, without having to deal with fuckwads who find it appropriate to comment that the death is irrelevant, and it shouldn't have been posted. go lurk under a bridge somewhere, and if you don't like the tread, leave it alone.

    and now for a moment of silence to honor the departed:

    You kinda left out The Yardbirds. You know, the band that Clapton, Page, and Beck (no, not him, Jeff Beck) all played for at one time or the other.

    List of bands with underappreciated guitar players (mostly because of the keyboard player):
    The (Young) Rascals
    The Guess Who
    The Doors

    I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.
