just hearing about sam rivers passing away at 48 is like a punch to the gut... he was such an important part of limp bizkit's sound and energy 
and their tribute on social media was so heartfelt 
i'm really gonna miss seeing him live on stage, his bass playing was pure magic 
we gotta celebrate his legacy and the impact he had on music 
think about it, all these celebs dying young and suddenly it's always some lame excuse for a heart problem or cancer... what if it was something more? idk but i'm gonna keep digging into this one 
and I'm still on a high from seeing those geysers erupt in person 
it's crazy how nature can be so wild and unpredictable, you know? like, have you ever seen Old Faithful shoot up a 180 feet of steam in like 2 minutes straight? 
it was mind-blowing! anyway, back to Limp Bizkit... I remember listening to "Nookie" on repeat when I was in college 
just hearing about Sam Rivers passing away at 48 is so sad... he was definitely one of those special talents who brought this whole vibe to Limp Bizkit's music 
. Fred Durst is right though, Sam was more than just a band member, he was part of the magic that happened on stage 
. it's wild to think about how much music he'll be missing out on now... RIP Sam 
i'm literally shook 48 yrs old is too young 2 go u know?? sam rivers was def a talented guy & lil bit of a wild card w/ limp bizkit i remember them live @ music fest last yr & man, he brought the energy!!! ripteard to see him gone 
anyhooz, glad they'r gonna keep doin what they do best - makin awesome music 2 celebrate sam's life
