Am I the only one sick and fucking tired of hearing "RIP Vitek," and seeing it on peoples' msn aliases and myspace blogs and bulletins?!?! I guess I'm a little biased when it comes to some of the Century McDeath-metal meatheads, and granted the genre of technical death metal is not my fave...
...but seriously....it's not like the guy had fucking invented death metal. The loss of guys like Quorthon (Bathory) and even to a degree Chuck Schuldiner of Death (as he also pioneered progressive death metal a-la-Cynic, Athiest, etc) have a stronger impact in my view. No disrespect against Vitek, and yeah it's shitty what happened to him, but I think people should shut the fuck up unless they knew him personally, or was/is a technical death metal drummer influenced by his style....
Random rant, but oh well...

I'll share the "RIP Vitek" as a post to give the guy respect. He was a good drummer, but DECAPITATED aren't that great in my opinion. I do agree that if this whole "RIP Vitek, roses are red..." thing goes on, people will give DECAPITATED the whole "legendary" treatment, if you know what I mean.
Besides, there have been plenty of other deaths lately that have been completely put aside.

I agree, even being a drummer who is influenced by him, I'm getting sick of seeing it. Yes, his passing was a great loss, since he was so young, but with him gone it'll open up a new drummer to come in and shine.
Hopefully.
