*** Official OOT Less Important Than George Michael RIP Thread *** - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Here's a catchall thread for condolences for all your George Michael and below subchampions. May they all RIP.

RIP Allan Holdsworth, one of the greatest fusion guitarists, and a big favourite of and influence on lots of guitar players who are actually famous. The consummate guitarist’s guitarist, Eddie Van Halen said of him, "To me Allan Holdsworth is number one."

Probably his most well-known solo:

He was also a synthaxe pioneer, but let's not bring that up.

Cuba Gooding's dad died, he was in the group who sang Everybody Plays the Fool. I don't mean to suggest that Cuba Gooding Jr. plays the fool sometimes, don't get me wrong.

I thought this whole thing was a great idea until the day that Cuba Gooding Sr didn't get the thread of his own he deserved.

I'm confused; shouldn't the last couple of posts have been made in the "jokes you've made IRL that flopped" thread?

Although I personally believe he's more important than George Michael, RIP Jonathan Demme

Demme made interesting movies, too bad he didn't make more of them.

RIP Michael Mantenuto

These guys commiting suicide in their 30s while having young kids really gives me the sad feels

Both Roger Moore and Greg Allman are more important than George Michael.

Honestly the fact that Gregg Allman made it that far is a minor miracle.

Saturday afternoon I was in the back lot of a brewery in Long Island, listening to a really good Allman's cover band, when the lead singer announced Greg Allman had died. It was freaking weird.

Cool story bro.
