Guitar World Effort Sabotaged

The effort, spearheaded by EmptyWords.org, to fulfill Chuck Schuldiner's dream of being on the cover of Guitar World Magazine has been sabotaged. What started out as a playful urging [in the Guitar World forums] to get Chuck on the cover, seems to have ended in as a tasteless joke. Despite requests to keep it civil, some people took it upon themselves to continue in a rather uncivil way.

Here is the latest letter from Chuck's mother on the matter:

I know Chuck wanted to be on the Guitar World cover, but it was in the days when the magazine represented a different image than it does today. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Chuck's reward for his music was for the only people that mattered to him, his fans. He told me that shortly before his death, during one of our many talks while reading his email to him. And most important, the fans let him know it while he was still here to enjoy it. That gave him immense pleasure. I hope you all remember that and let it go.
