Lars Ulrich de METALLICA, Tony Iommi de BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, SAXON, Dino Cazares de FEAR FACTORY et Doro Pesch font partie des musiciens de heavy metal qui ont réagi sur les réseaux sociaux au décès du journaliste musical Malcolm Dome.
L'écrivain britannique vétér est décédé ce week-end à l'âge de 66 ans.
Dome écrit sur le rock et le heavy metal depuis 1979. En plus de publier plusieurs livres sur des artistes comme AC/DC, METALLICA et LED ZEPPELIN, il a contribué à plusieurs magazines, dont Record Mirror, Metal Hammer, Kerrang ! et Classic Rock.
Dome est crédité pour avoir inventé le terme "thrash metal" en écrivant sur la chanson d'ANTHRAX "Metal Thrashing Mad" en février 1984. Jusque-là, des groupes comme ANTHRAX et METALLICA avaient qualifié leur son de "power metal". Malcolm a également fourni des notes de pochette pour diverses rééditions, y compris celles des thrashers allemands KREATOR, dont le leader Mille Petrozza a écrit : « Choqué d'apprendre le décès de Malcolm Dome aujourd'hui. " Nous avons parlé sur Skype pendant des heures et Malcolm en savait plus sur le passé de mon groupe que je ne pouvais m'en souvenir. C'était un vrai mélomane et l'une des personnes les plus drôles du monde. Travailler avec Malcolm n'a jamais été un vrai travail."
Ulrich a déclaré: "Extrêmement triste d'apprendre le décès de Malcolm Dome. Non seulement il avait un talent incroyable qui a aidé à guider ma relation avec la musique heavy, mais c'était aussi une personne formidable. Aujourd'hui, je pense aux moments amusants et mémorables que nous avons vécus ensemble à l'époque."
Iommi a écrit: "Malcolm était un gars adorable, il m'a interviewé plusieurs fois et a toujours été positif à propos de la musique. Il a été l'un des premiers journalistes à totalement devenir métal. Nous avons même travaillé ensemble l'année dernière lorsqu'il m'a aidé à trier mon entrée sur Wikipédia. Il va nous manquer. "
En 1980, Malcolm a co-écrit le livre "Encyclopedia Metallica", qui, selon certains, a inspiré le nom du groupe METALLICA.
Extremely sad to hear of Malcolm Dome’s passing. Not only was he an incredible talent who helped guide my relationship with heavy music, but he was also a great person. Today, I’m thinking of the fun, memorable times we spent together back in the day. https://t.co/9chlIVjSMm

Malcolm was a lovely guy, he interviewed me many times and was always positive about the music. He was one of the first journalists to totally get metal. We even worked together last year when he helped me sort out my Wikipedia entry. Sadly missed. - Tonyhttps://t.co/Te8hippkxB

RIP to the great Malcolm Dome. He helped spread the word on us when MA first started and had this to say about our debut album "...one of the year’s best metal albums” in his @ClassicRockMag reivew back in 2015. After all, Malcolm did coin the term "thrash metal" pic.twitter.com/kowVSewtNP

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Malcolm Dome. I have known Malcolm well over 30 years from the early days of The Almighty right up to the present day. He was a fine journalist and a fine human being. Condolences to Malcolm’s family. Rest easy mate.

So sad to see Malcolm Dome has left us. He was an amazing writer, a passionate supporter of UK rock music and a great sport, even after we trashed his desk at the Kerrang! offices.
Another very dark day for UK rock music. I will miss him so much. ?— Ginger Wildheart (@GingerWildheart) November 1, 2021

R.I.P. #MalcolmDome. One of great rock journalists of his time. I first met him in ‘90 and we did countless interviews over the years. Last saw him for an Arch Enemy interview in 2017. I always enjoyed our talks, the man REALLY knew his stuff… A sad day for Rock’N’Roll this. pic.twitter.com/xDxGpw1QCS

Thank you and goodnight to Malcolm Dome. He was the first journalist to ever write about Thunder and a thoroughly nice bloke who genuinely cared about rock music.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Malcolm Dome. Apart from his incredible knowledge of everything metal, he was also behind @OfficialPL right from the beginning, and always pleasant company to hang out with on our frequent weekend trips to London in the early '90s.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Malcolm Dome.
I knew Malcolm for forty plus years, he loved his music, was an accomplished writer and a fervent football man, so we had a lot in common.
I, and all he knew, mourn him. My deepest condolences to his family & many friends. RIP. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/i9gw7jnKjk— Bernie Marsden (@Bernie_Marsden) November 1, 2021

We are extremely sad to report the passing of our dear friend and colleague Malcolm Dome. He was a legend in the rock music world, a great writer and rock DJ, Malcolm's passion for music was boundless and his positive energy filled the lives of those of us close to him. pic.twitter.com/Gwv7H5ErMX

I never met Malcolm Dome, but whenever he was in a music doc I liked his views on things. Sounds like he was a good one.
— Jay Ruston (@jayruston) November 1, 2021
Malcolm Dome was one of the kindest people I've ever met. He always had time for people -- a generous giant of heavy metal, a good man and a real friend. The word legend is overused and for him it is inadequate. I wish I could summon better words but I will miss him dearly.
— Alexander Milas (@alexandermilas) November 1, 2021
Probably the hardest thing I've ever had to write. I shall miss my dear friend terribly but am thankful that I am left with over 30 years of amazing memories of this unique and wonderful man... https://t.co/uRwo4FXmlX

One of my favourite people. One of my favourite guests. One hell of a hole to fill. Sometimes when you've known someone so long, 30 years, you take them for granted. Not Malcolm, I always treasured our time together.
Miss you already mate #MalcolmDome pic.twitter.com/QczSgiHOAF— TalkingBollocks (@TalkingBollockz) November 1, 2021
I'm sad to hear about the passing of legendary British rock journalist Malcolm Dome. He was only 66. We got connected through our weekly phone calls for @TotalRockOnline and later "The Art Of Metal" book. He loved heavy rock and enjoyed what he did. He lived for the music!

Ah hell, RIP Malcolm Dome. Malcolm was one of the metal journalists I revered in my early life. Later he contributed to a couple of my books and I spent a couple of my best nights ever sucking down Jagermeister at the bar in the Crobar with him. Terrific journalist and a good man pic.twitter.com/niXe7U6vf0

I hope he didn't die alone. He lived so much of his life alone, it was the first thing that went through my mind when I got the news. I hope someone was with him... BLOG: Malcolm Dome Is Dead https://t.co/9Z9vl7dmnW

We are sad to hear of the death of music journalist Malcolm Dome. A pioneering rock & heavy metal writer, we enjoyed working with him & relied on his encyclopaedic knowledge of music. He always had a kind word to say about CR & we'll miss him very much.
