This news is a few months old, but I just learned about it this morning. It appears Gus Chambers (most notable for his work with post Slayer project with Dave Lombardo, Grip Inc.) has taken his own life.
I met Gus in Philly when Grip Inc. was touring in support of Morbid Angel back in 1995. He was a super nice guy. He was amazed that my friends and I had traveled 4 hours to see them do a 30 minute opening set. I really liked the contributions he made to that band. Sad.
