He's had issues with opiates in the past. He was taking meds for his back issues and also had pneumonia, which will screw up your respiratory function, and that combined with the respiratory effects of opiates caused his demise.

That's my totally uneducated guess.

He left behind a fantastic catalog of songs !
He was one of my favorite artists of all time. Great songwriter. He definitely had an issue with drugs, which having bad back problems probably nurtured the problem.

I saw him a few times live, and he always put on a good entertaining show. He was just a laid back hippy.

Glad I got to see him one last time this year. RIP Todd.



Technical Ecstasy is a very underrated album.

Dirty Women
All Moving Parts (Stand Still)
Backstreet Kids

All top notch Sabbath songs ! And fantastic album cover.

It's my least favorite Ozzy led Black Sabbath. That said, there are several really good songs on the album.

I never really cared for the singers after Ozzy left. They are talented no doubt, but to me Black Sabbath is Ozzy, Tony, Geezer & Bill.

Master of Reality is a very close second for me. Into the Void is my favorite Black Sabbath song. Geezer's bass is so good in that song

I'm not sure that this qualifies, but it's a pretty funny song to me, and it's from my childhood.

FTR, his version of Fortunate Son, is GENIUS.


That whole album Peace Queer is very good.
To this day, this video is probably my favorite live performance of all time by anyone. The whole 26 minute performance on Austin City Limits is incredible.

Wish we still had that version of Todd:



This one is great as well:

C'mon man, give him a break. He's an alright guy !

His early stuff from the 1990's and early 2000's is great. Especially when his backup band was The Nervous Wrecks. Will Kimbrough is a great guitarist.
I saw them in St Petersburg, Florida in 1979. Fantastic concert. Thin Lizzy opened for them.
Well that sucks. Why would someone attack him ? He is one of the most laid back performers I've ever seen.

I saw him in Birmingham a few months ago and it was a fantastic show. This was his 1st tour in a couple of years due to his back issues, and now someone does some shite like this.

Really hope this doesn't discourage him from playing live again.

If dumpster diving was good enough for the Manson Family, it should be good enough for these deadbeats.
