Deaths of talented or cool people?

[Halberd]

So I read a book from a guy called Stieg Larrson called "The girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which was a really good book, then I found out that before getting the three books published he actually died from a heart attack at age 50. All that talent and potential wasted (he was planning to make 10 books in the series)

Is there anyone you want to add to the thread?

Gary Gygax - he was never around for that 50 billionth revision of D&D, and the world is much, much poorer for it.

was that sarcasm?

Oh yeah there was a movie based on that book I think.

I wish Hitler had survived the war.

The world might have been a better, less negroid place.

Evan Tanner

[RubberTrucky]

Steve frickin Irwin

He was one of the bad-assed people in my existence and to top it all, he died while being bad-ass and doing the thing he loved.

[Scarface]

I wish Tony Montana. Sure, he had some bad qualities, but there was good inside of him! You just had to know him personally. He was so nice.

I vote for the entire 27 club.

I was really shocked when I heard of his death.
Also, Vladimir Konstantinov.

Never mind, that wasn't a death.

I really should stop going on the BBS so early in the morning.

My first thought too. Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Bob Marley, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Keith Moon, Ian Curtis, Sid Vicious, Darby Crash, Stiv Bators, Rozz Williams etc.

[Luke]

So many.
Kurt Cobain, Sid Vicious, Ace (Joshua Stough), Ronnie James Dio, John Belushi, Jason Thirsk, and I can't think of anymore but there are so many.

67 may have been a long time but damn, that guy should have lived for at least another 20 years. To think he was going to write two more albums with his own band as well as working on a Brutal Legend sequel based on himself.

[Bryony]

Buddy Holly. Superb.

[Loki]

Anyways, Stieg Larsson is probably the best example.

I FUCKING WISH I COULD READ THE 7 OTHER NOVELS HE HAD PLANNED >:(

Worst part of the story is:

His wife owns the ALMOST COMPLETED 4th novel, and all the notes to finish it. But she's an untalented bitch.

Implying Kurt Cobain had any talent.

Think about it for a sec.

There would be less minorities to burden you. Wouldn't that be awesome? I think it would be.

Yeah, there's no saying he didn't live a long, happy and successful life, but he deserved more time. I was astonished the day I found out about it, made no sense to me why he had to go, but it is what it is. It's just like any other great musician, thinking of what they could have released in the future, but we'll never know.
Lord Dio rides on in the ranks of Valhalla now though.

Absolutely. Loved that book.

Billy Mays. The world isn't the same without him.

[Zombified]

I wouldn't say anything was wasted. He wrote the book and then got it published and got his name out there before he died.

Never forget Ol Dirty Bastard great skills and humor!!!
