my condolences. a fabulous drummer, and by all accounts a great guy. i am so very sorry.

Inasmuch as the sympathies of total strangers only familiar with one's artistic output mean anything, this is a giant fucking drag all around. Not much else I can really say.

Stunning. Awful. All I can do is add my condolences.

I assume in the coming days that links to funds -- PayPal or otherwise -- for the families of the victims will be linked here soon..

This is terribly sad news...Silkworm is one of my favorite bands, and Michael was an inspiring drummer. All the members of that band seem like such nice guys as well....this is just terrible....My condonlences to all of SKWM's friends and family.

I'm so sad to hear this. I'll be thinking about Michael tonight and listen to some SKWM.

My condolences.

This is awful. My heart goes out to Michael's family and friends.

I feel completely sick to my stomach to hear this news. I only met Michael once in person, but that is all that was needed to see how much of an outstanding guy he was. His drumming carried such character and emotion, it truly stood out among all others.

Michael, I drink to you!

Salut!
