RIP. :(

Really sad about this, he was an incredible musician and producer..

kinda pissed off that almost every article seems to only refer to him as 'Jack White's keyboardist' too, he toured with Jack White for like 2 years until now, that should not overshadow the fact that he played on all of the good TMV albums and did a bunch of amazing production work.

Damn. That scenery looks great.

I was always upset that he wasn't more recognized during Deloused. Definitely made some of my favorite contributions. I was getting excited seeing him in so much recently, hoping he'd put out some solo work.

Unexpected. Based upon the alcohol and weed found, I'm gonna assume some pills were around. He seems a bit tweaked in that interview, but I don't know hi,, so maybe that's just him.

Wait, what? Dammit. :cry:

Didn't both Mars Volta and Jack White had a whole no drugs thing going on?

Not sure about jack. Mars Volta got that way later on. Don't know if it was for weed and booze though. Just the illegal stuff.

Totally agree. A quick google search will tell you so much about what he did. His hit list is a mile long!

So sad.

Such a devistating loss to the music world. From what I hear, the dude was a massive figure in the long beach music scene. An of course an irreplaceable piece of TMV lineup. RIP indeed. :(
