Sabbath kommer til Oslo til neste år. Dette virker en smule nærsynt og
er ikke et fokus som egner seg som grunnlag for gjenreisning av
n.k.m.d. som et aktivt forum. I så måte vil nok andre musikk-eksperter
som Geir Hongø mene at det er langt viktige å fremheve at det i dag
(24.11.11) er nøyaktig 20 år siden legendene Eric Carr (KISS) og
Freddy Mercury (Queen) døde i altfor ung alder.
De nåværende KISS-medlemmene minnes Eric Carr i anledning dagen (se
KISS-online):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At a time when KISS was in the midst of upheaval and turmoil Eric
brought calm, and an optimism that refocused our priorities so we
could move forward. I can't overstate his contribution to our rebirth.
His dedication to his music was only matched by his dedication to his
fans. He was a kind soul who couldn't say an unkind word about anyone
and I think of him all the time.
- Paul Stanley
Eric Carr was a beloved member of KISS for 11 years. His drumming was
as powerful as his love and devotion for the fans and remains in the
hearts of many to this day...
- Eric Singer
Eric Carr was a special person and a friend. He would always go out of
his way to be friendly and say something nice. I remember the band was
mixing Hot in the Shade back in 1989 at Cherokee Studios in LA. HITS
was a miss-mash of sorts and everyone was throwing in their two cents
on the mix, you know, 'Turn up the guitars, turn up the bass.." I was
listening and remember saying to the engineer, "Where's the drums?" At
the end of the night, Eric quietly pulled me aside and said, "Thanks
for mentioning the drums.." He appreciated that.. A good guy.
- Tommy Thayer
I never knew anyone more humble in my life.
Eric Carr was a kind soul who never said anything bad about anybody.
He was also a double threat on drums, and vocals.
I miss him.
- Gene Simmons

Også Freddy Mercury minnes på Queens hjemmeside:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 24th, 1991, Freddie’s struggle against AIDS ended when he
passed away just over 24 hours after he had publicly announced he had
the disease. Musicians and fans from all over the world paid their
highest respects as the passing of rock’s most innovative, flamboyant
ambassador signified the end of an era at the Freddie Mercury Tribute
Concert at Wembley Stadium on April 20, 1992 which gave birth to the
Mercury Phoenix Trust, the AIDS charity set up in Freddie’s memory by
the remaining members of Queen and Freddie’s Executor, Jim Beach.
