Aamun suru-uutinen Pantera-, Damageplan– ja Hellyeah-rumpali Vinnie Paulin kuolemasta on saanut suuren joukon kollegoita ja ystäviä muistamaan edesmennyttä muusikkoa sosiaalisessa mediassa. Facebook, Twitter ja Instagram ovat täyttyneet surunvalitteluista ja lämpimistä muistoista, joita ovat jakaneet Geezer Butler, Paul Stanley, Dave Mustaine, Scott Ian, Kornin Brian ”Head” Welch, Devin Townsend Projectin ja Imonolithin Ryan Van Poederooyen sekä lukuisat muut rock- ja metallimuusikot.
”Vie terveisiä veljellesi [Dimebag Darrell ammuttiin kuoliaaksi lavalla 2004] meiltä kaikilta. Rakastamme sinua ja toivomme, että olisit yhä täällä. Lähdit aivan liian varhain. Kiitos musiikista ja mikä tärkeintä 30 vuoden katkeamattomasta ystävyydestä. Miten harvinaista se onkaan tässä bisneksessä”, kirjoittaa Sebastian Bach Twitterissä jakamansa tunteellisen videon saatteeksi.

So sad to hear of the death of Vinnie Paul. Loved when Pantera did shows with us and in later years Vinnie was always front and center at all KISS shows. RIP and condolences to his family. https://t.co/DaQREBNVW7

Shocked and saddened to hear of Vinnie Paul's passing. A true original. Had some good laughs when we toured with @Pantera. Gone too soon. pic.twitter.com/adiO8B16jf

I just woke up in Belgium to the news that my friend Vinnie Paul has passed away. Another metal hero taken too soon. Say hello to Daryl for me. Rest In Peace, my dear friend. @Pantera @hellyeahband #vinniepaul
