The Day We Lost TREVOR STRNAD, WILL SMITH's Opinion On Ozzfest & Eight Other Top Stories From This Week

What an awful week. The Black Dahlia Murder vocalist Trevor Strnad suddenly passed away at 41 years old. Tributes have been pouring in non-stop as the world reels, from lists to heartfelt memories of the modern metal legend (some funny and some truly grateful), even to a petition for the GRAMMYs to include him in their In Memoriam segment. Elsewhere through the week, we saw Will Smith express his opinion about Ozzfest and James Hetfield naming the guitarists that influenced him.

Before we move on to the top stories, we want to once again express our deepest sympathies to Strnad's friends and family.
