I really thought someone would beat me to it, but Criss Oliva was murdered by a drunk @sshole on this day, in 1993.
Criss was one of the most ass-kicking guitarists in all metal, and formed one of the best true metal bands of all time with his brother, Jon.
RIP, Criss.
PLAY SAVATAGE TODAY. POST YOUR FAVOURITE CRISS OLICA PICS BELOW. :(

You were never one for waiting
Still I always thought you'd wait for me
And have you from your dreams awakened
And from where you are what do you see
Which of us is now in exile
Which in need of amnesty
Are you now but an illusion
In my mind alone you breathe
You believed in things that I will never know
You were out there drowning but it never showed
Till inside a rainswept night you just let go
You've thrown it all away
And now we'll never see the ending to the play
The grand design, the final line
And what was meant to be
In the dark a distant runner
Now has disappeared into the night
Leaving us to stand and wonder Staring from this end into your life
You believed in things that I will never know
You were out there drowning but it never showed
'Til inside a rainswept night you just let go
You've thrown it all away
And now we'll never see the ending to the play
The grand design, the final line
And what was meant to be
And if this is all illusion
Nothing more than pure delusion
Clinging to a fading fantasy
Like Icarus who heeds the calling
Of a sun but now is falling
As the feathers of his life fall free
Can you see
See
Tomorrow and after
You tell me what am I to do
I stand here believing
That in the dark there is a clue
Perhaps inside this midnight sky
Perhaps tomorrow's newborn eyes
Or could it be, we'll never know
And after all this was the show
What am I to do
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
What am I to do
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
What am I to do
Standing on a dream isn't what it seems
Could we then reclaim a dream refused
Knowing what we know could we let it go
Realizing that all the years are used
Tomorrow and after
You tell me what am I to do
I stand here believing
That in the dark there is a clue
I am the way, I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Tomorrow and after
You tell me what am I to do
I stand here believing
That in the dark there is a clue

I was in flight to Florida and I sat next to a guy on a plane. He was a drummer and was good friends with both Criss and Jon, and he was down in Florida waiting for Criss with Jon and a bunch of other guys, but he never made it. I guess they had a few people down there with them and when someone found out, they told him and Jon.
Something is just wrong when you have six prior drunk driving arrests and you can still drive for your seventh.

the riff of Hall Of The Mountain King is so damn addicting!!
WAY TOO UNDERRATED GUITARIST!!! RIP! :(
-
Well, Hall of the Mountain King's riff can be blamed on Edvard Grieg, who wrote the original. Many bands have copied that riff! 'tage turned it into a great metal song, however!
-
^ which song is it by Grieg?
I would like to hear the classical composition if it
-
It's called the Pier Gint Suite, not sure about the spelling. Search for 'Hall of the Mountain King' in Google.
-
Peer Gynt? Alright then, I'll check it out

Whoah!! They are awesome :D Whoever killed him is a w**ker :evil:
