Cry-babybergensteinschwart

Ingo Schwichtenberg is a name that ranks high in the 'list of awesome names'.  It's up there with "Udo Dirkshcneider" even.  It's also the dude who was the founding drummer for Helloween.  He died when he was only 25, but if he was still breathing air he would have turned 44 today.  Funny story about him: he was a cokehead and boozehound with a serious case of schizophrenia.  He got kicked out the band because although he was talented he was a bit too psycho for the other dirty germans to handle (he would freak out and have random crying fits before gigs).  Eventually he off-ed himself by jumping in front of a train.
