Una pena. DEP.
¿Ataque al corazón?

Eso parece, y en plena actuación creo.

Bufff ... si eso he visto. Q chungo!

En este tipo de posts se hace un índice, pero pasando, evidentemente.

Me empieza a dar mal rollo supino...

Bufff ... si eso he visto. Q chungo!

Chungo para los espectadores, por que para él debió ser la mejor forma de morir, haciendo lo que más le gustaba. Murió con las botas puestas, vaya. D.E.P.

Este texto sobre la muerte de Menza está sacado del Facebook de Redemption:

Hello friends.
As you know, the incredibly talented Chris Poland was a key guest performer on our most recent album, The Art of Loss. I have seen Chris Poland's band Ohm play a fair number of times over the years, and it's always an incredible experience. The last few times have been after having worked with Chris, and I have had a small glimpse into the workings of the band. This included the addition of the extremely talented Nick Menza to the lineup after last year's tragic death of David Eagle, their former drummer.
I first saw Nick play with Ohm in January around the time of the NAMM convention. It was at a small music space that features jazz, fusion and other performances that are suitable for an intimate setting. I was intrigued to see what Nick -- a hard hitting drummer well known for his work in Megadeth -- would do in the setting of very busy and nuanced fusion music. The band was good; very good even. But they are perfectionists and they were not as tight as I know they wanted to be -- Chris told me as much -- and I could see Nick, who did a remarkably good job of playing with intricacy, was tired! He cramped up a couple of times. Nothing serious -- just the result of doing a lot of busy drumming.
It had been a few months since that performance, and when we filmed our video for the title track of The Art of Loss a few weeks back, Chris had mentioned they were going to be wood-shedding soon and then recording. So it was with tremendous expectation that I went last night, along with Redemption "sixth man" Andy Paredes, to see Ohm perform at their beloved club The Baked Potato in Studio City last night.
We settled into our seats immediately beside the stage, to Chris' right. I was about two feet from Chris's right elbow, and I had Andy sit on my right so he (another great guitarist) could get a bird's eye's view of Chris's mind boggling fretwork.
This left me with a great view of Nick Menza, who was maybe ten feet from me.
Nick came out looking fit. He light-heartedly adjusted (with his drumsticks over his head) the small spot lights on the stage before taking his place behind the kit. A moment later, Pag (the amazing bassist -- this guy must be seen to be believed) welcomed the audience and the set began.
For the next two songs, Nick CRUSHED the material with a nuance, technicality and ferocity that is an exceedingly rare combination. He brought the power of his playing in Megadeth to the ever changing meters and complexity of world class fusion. I was astounded. And in contrast to his performance in January, he was not winded in the least. He played with amazing strength and precision. There were no cramps -- just energy and musicianship. The band sounded so tight, it was insane.
I studied Nick -- he had broken a light sweat, but nothing that the spot lights themselves wouldn't have caused on their own. He had no redness in his face. He had no signs of distress. He was focused, energetic and smiling.
After two songs, Chris turned to me and we exchanged a word or two of small talk before the third song began. And it was then that Nick, who I think may have turned around to take a drink of water, slumped abruptly and awkwardly down.
We immediately knew something was wrong, but didn't know what. I called 911 along with one or two other patrons, while we helped clear his drums to the side in preparation for the EMTs to come. Two other patrons began administering CPR.
What happened next has been chronicled and was indeed more horrible than can be expressed.
It's important that the world know that Nick was an important musician, a dedicated father, and a stand up guy. I met him only once, and briefly, so it's not my place to comment on those matters -- I will leave that to those that knew him well, many of whom have already offered their thoughts, sympathies and prayers.
I cannot say I knew the man -- but I can say that his final performance was not the performance of a man with an ounce of uncertainty or weakness. It was an amazing performance, showing his versatility, commitment and talent. He was a very underrated drummer.
Redemption extends their deepest sympathies to the Menza family and to our friend Chris Poland. There are no real words to express our sadness at this horrible tragedy.
RIP Nick.
With deep respect,
Nick

RIP Leonard Cohen, un grande.
