RIP Paul Samson

Sadly, guitar hero Paul Samson lost his battle with cancer this past Friday, August 9 at the age of 48. Paul Samson was best known as guitarist and band leader of the NWOBHM band Samson. Bruce Dickinson was a member of Samson during the NWOBHM movement of the early 80's before leaving the band to join Iron Maiden. The band continued on and Paul actually continued to play his guitar and record until a couple weeks ago when he became unable to pick up his guitar. Rest in Peace Paul...
