Not really into them but did like a few songs

[TobiasFunke]

Pretty bummed. One of my favorite guitar players/song writers.

In the world of metal, he was a legend.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

It's a bummer. They were originally talking about amputation. All from a spider bite.

RIP, was a huge fan of them growing up.

[Ray McKigney]

Holy sh*t! These guys were like gods to me when I was growing up. This one hurts. RIP.

That sucks... I never really got into them too much, but we skated to their tunes all the time.

I sure hope I have more than 5 years left, and don't meet that spider.  That's no way to go out.

A post supervisor I worked with just lost her husband to something very similar to this. He was a cameraman and was bitten by a bug and eneded up with blood disorder which required him to be taking large doses of very exspensive drugs to combat the effects. It took three years for it to kill him and up until the last 5 months he was still working, my guess trying to keep his insurance.
