BTW Bon Scott died from hypothermia, not drugs.

Bon Scott died from asphyxiation after he chocked on his own vomit due to alcohol poisoning in the back seat of his car.

Yup, Bon drowned in his own puke. And Peter Steele is gone too.

"Happened to me a few times growing up, thank God I was on my stomach when I passed out."

Unfortunately I wasn't. Discovered in the morning that my mullet had been glued to carpet by peculiar dark green stuff that had poured from my mouth during night. Well, mom freaked out a bit...

Sure would have been a classic way to go, being "a rocker" and all. Experiencing such youth I'll never let my kids experiment in that magnitude with those peculiar liquids.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

My wife & daughter went to see H&H in San Jose last year. She said i'd probably be her last chance to see DIO live, and wanted to show my daughter what a "real" rock legend was about.  :old:

Being in the Des Moines music scene, I had the fortune of meeting Mr. Gray a couple of times.  He did alot for struggling bands and artists in the area and was always very friendly.  He'll be missed.
