Fuck...one of my biggest influences and one of my favourite drummers.

RIP

I just tried to put on Electric Ladyland in his honour but my record player is being a jerk.

Now I am even more sad.

At least the other Mitch Mitchell isn't dead yet.

What's with this year and awesome musicians dying?

Incredibly talented guy, one of my favorite drummers.  Damn.

Casual Hendrix fans think it's all about Jimi, but real Hendrix fans know that Mitch was the one who kept things moving.  He was the pulse.

He may have been strange and a bit of a jerk, but he did some amazing stuff.

He will be missed. Not one of my favorite drummers, but still very solid, and I enjoy listening to him.

The other white guy had a bigger afro! But yeah he's great, especially his fills on 1983 (A merman...), which is also my favorite Jimi song - one of my favorite songs period.

Everyone, listen to 1983...
