could have been for several reasons.....drugs and alcohol could have been involved, could have just had a terrible diet, could have been due to familial heart problems...

expect to see heart attacks at yound ages more often in the future - with the younger population being too fat..

It's a right fucking shame, especially at 38, especially given he was in one of the most kick-ass bands the world has ever seen. I invited him to RL's friend on myspace about two days ago....

Watching Wild Zero tonight.

Shit, I came across an old Guitar Wolf interview in a copy of The Face from a year or so ago recently, it was brilliant.

38 is such a bleak, young age to die.

posted on afistfulofrock mailing list, by someone from the band that supported GW on their last tour:

"He was sleeping next to Seiji and he snored really loud and stopped
breathing, and Seiji called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. They
are supposed to do an autopsy. That is all I know right now. They just got
back from the U.S. tour two days ago."
