Which famous rockstar death shocked you, and the whole music industry the most? Was it Elvis, Hendrix, Kurt or somebody else that you will never forget? What do you think?

I don't know about the music industry side of this,although alot of other musician's have been commenting on it lately....But as I was not around when the other artists died(with the exeption of Cobain),I'm going to say,for me anyways,it has to be Dimebag Darrell.
I saw Pantera live once in 2001 I believe...Then I went to see Damageplan twice...Both times I saw Damageplan I got the oppurtunity to meet the guys in the band,and get pictures taken with them...Down to earth,caring of the fans is what they are...The last time Damageplan came by(the second time in Toronto Canada)was a week to the day of the shootings.
Now it's been a week,and I am still in disbelief.

Well,  only 2 rockstars died while I was alive: Dimebag Darrel and Kurt Cobain.And since I was 3 years old when Cobain died, and I didnt knew a shit about Nirvana, I?ll have to say Dimebag Darrel.RIP

I don't remember how the reaction was when Lennon or Elvis died, but I imagine the impact of Lennon dying must've been the biggest one.

Both happened before MTV.

A lot more than that actually...

Yeah, Lennon definitely.

Cobains death had the biggest impact on my generation.  Although Dimebag Darrels death was extremely shocking.

Lennon definitely.  The fact that he was killed the way he was, and that he was such an advocate for peace, so sad.   Cry

It's already been said but I would have to imagine it's Lennon. An entire generation looked to him on everything and he was taken really unexpectedly.

You know me Guys I will go with Freddie Mercury, that november day was really a preposterous day ?Cry, the music lost their last legend, I would say that a lot of people still misses him, also lennon I not sure but if he'd still alive he would have become God and have fired lighting from his hands and he would also fly ?nervous

John Lennon's death was felt worldwide. So I'd have to agree with his death being the most shocking.

I dont remember Lennons but that would have to be the biggest.
I do however remember Cobain vividly ( I was 16 ) and that had  and continues to have a large impact
It is always shocking and tragic when a creative person dies young and even more so if there is a violent element to it.

Hoon, Staley, Sublime's Nowell come to mind...

Speaking to my folks and older relatives about this, they believe Elvis's dead caused a bigger impact than John's death. Maybe just in Spain, but no one has ever topped the king.

I think dimebag, so unexpected

Jim morrisons death did a huge impact on me, and the industri-
-but it was not actually a shock when he died, it was like people knew it would happen

Many shocked me - Elvis for sure (I can remember how upset my mother was when we heard).  Lennon just stunned everyone and Kurt was huge on the news and shocking.  One a decade, I guess.  Undecided

I agree with John Lennon's death being most shocking for the music industry. It was unexpected. I can?t remember it, but i?ve been told, that my mum was so upset about it, as she was a huge Beatles fan.

For me it was Cobains death.

Well, thats true.But I hadn?t heard Sublime until few months ago, and I had no idea sone of them had died.Shanon didnt impact me that much, probably because I didnt know he was dead until I got into Gn?R, and Staley?s did afect me but not as much as Dimebag?s death.SO I?ll have to go with my beloved Dimebag

Let all the rock souls Rest In Peace
