Just saw them a few months ago... blah!

Saw that on Insta but waited to see if it was officially official. Terrible news Killer bassist and huge loss for the band

 

[Orvillain]

Absolutely gutted. It would be tragic enough, but the age.. the fucking age... 48!?

I'll be blasting some LB tomorrow with the bass cranked.

 

[Los-D]

RIP Legend

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

Wow, this is sad. Nobody should die this young.

Much like the whole band sans Fred Durst, it's really hard to knock on Rivers for his skills. The guy was a monster of a bass player.

48 is just too young May he RIP.

That dude could flat out play.
RIP Sam.

When it’s members from bands of your youth it really drives home how fragile this whole thing is.

RIP

Not yet anywhere.

Holy shit just learning about this. Been a LB fan since I was 12!

 

[DrewJD82]

Crazy shit.

I know the dude had a liver transplant a while back that turned out ok, but was due to a drinking issue. While it doesn’t really matter how he died, it’d be a bummer if dude got a second chance at life and wasn’t able to utilize it.

He looked great in Nashville and played flawlessly from all I could see. I am glad we saw them with the original lineup. I have no idea what they will do now as they are already very sparse with their activity. Much moreso than I would expect a huge band like them to be? It would be TOUGH to carry on without someone so integral. They tried that without Wes and it did not go well
