i spent a lot of time listening to their records, some of which Vinnie mixed on a Harrison console, along with producer Terry Date. This was surprising, and the details of the death have not been released. Bottoms UP Vin. RIP.

Friend of the Vinnie and Dime, Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains) reflects, on this here.

Well done, good Sir. RIP

Paul Buckmaster, the genius instrument arranger, who worked with everyone from Elton John and The Stones to Keith Urban to Guns and Roses, has passed away at 71.
I've studied his arrangements for decades; his orchestral arrangement of Elton John's Levon still blows me away, and it doesn't matter that I've heard that song hundreds of times, I'm still in awe.

Passed last night at 89. One of the trailblazers.

Damn. :(
