Very sad news.

Bizarre, look at his recent twitter post from sept 26:

Yeah Sad and the fact that he predicted his own death on twitter in in Sept is pretty spooky. Just hope he didn't off myself and Sept twitter post a cry for help. RIP Mikey

R.I.P. It's been a pretty sad year. I really hope it's just a coincidence with his twitter post.

Mickey played bass on The Green Album, my favorite Weezer album. The extra vocal harmonies ( Beach Boy style ) and a mix of clean guitar and distorted guitar left room for some nice bass notes. He was a credit to the Thunderbird. Soar on!
