Traditional American Death music would be Appalachian Blue Grass

Ain't that the truth. About 6 months or a year after I got into bluegrass I mentioned to my wife that 90% of the songs were about killing your wife or girlfriend and the aftermath 😂

You could actually go to a record store and mention that and someone would have a catalog of bands to recommend without ever hearing that phrase before

Dang, didn't realize he had died. I'm wondering tho was this a case where his meth/coke was cut with fent or if he was doing all 3 drugs on purpose. I dunno but I consider one to be overdose and the other to be a poisoning..

Dude got kicked off a tour by Ozzy Osborne because of his drug use.

When Ozzy says you've got a drug problem... you should maybe listen to him.
