  34. Dana Seville Says:

    can i just add, the person who said “this guy made terrible music and deserved to die” someone called “A7X SUCKS ASS” he died. through nothing.he was a inspiration to millions of a7x fans, somebody should never “deserve to die” unless they did something terrible, and he didnt. so why dont you go crawl back in your cave you inconsiderate prick?
