Voivod guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour slipped into a coma Thursday night (August 25) as a result of complications from advanced colon cancer and passed away Friday evening.
Kurt Cobain originally called his group Skid Row, unaware of the '80s hair-metal band (whose music Cobain would later wipe off the charts) that used the name already. Ironically, after settling on Nirvana and achieving worldwide success, the group was sued by the '60s psychedelic outfit with the same name. Fortunately, the bands settled the dispute amicably, finding enough Nirvana to share between them.
