Re: Rockstah--RIP
Wow, terribly sad news. Too young.
Mark frequented many amp websites, and for you who are new to the game and name, he was the other half of the Lar Mar master volume that has become so popular over on Metro.
Sooooo Sad.
RIP Mark.

Re: Rockstah--RIP
This really saddens me, he seemed like a nice guy, full of enthusiasm.
Obviously though he was doing what he loved and playing professionally.
The thing that sucks for musicians is that healthcare insurance for the self-employed is way too expensive. You sometimes put off going to the doctor.
Chest pains should never be taken lightly.
Big loss for our anonymous Internet community.
Makes me think about if none of us ever reach out and make our Internet friends into real personal connections, we may die unnoticed to people we've bonded with.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

This is so sad.
Do you guys think it could be a good idea to collect some bucks and send some flowers to the funeral by ampgarage forum to thank him for what he did?

Another one of us. I will never be at odds with any of you ever again because we are together.
Peace, Mark.

Re: Rockstah--RIP
What a shock! Terrible news indeed. RIP Rockstah, rock on dude 

Re: Rockstah--RIP
Very sad news indeed. RIP Mark! I got to meet Mark in the summer of 2007 in Ashland KY when Starship was playing a local Festival. Ampgarage members; Smokin Tone, my brother Richie and me hung out with Mark backstage during the day long event. It was if we had known each other for years and the amp discussions went on for hours. Mark was the best and my condolences go out to his family. He will be missed by the amp forum communities that he was a big part of. Another friend gone way too soon.
A Motley crew for sure!!

Re: Rockstah--RIP
Guys, from first hand experience I can tell you that many ignore or deny the first signs of heart trouble.
I know I did. But I got lucky.
If you are nearing your 40's or older and have not had a physical in the last 5 years, do yourself and your family a favor and go see the doc.
With me, I thought it was acid reflux as I had battled that for a long time.
I thought the medicine I was taking wasn't working anymore....
