Super, super sad news. Loved Aj's wonderful drumming as far back as the CITIES days. Hang on to your life and loved ones. Time does indeed run out. ♡

interviewer: How do you replace him?
ONLY ANSWER: You don't.

[@TheOnlyHollywood1]

They replaced him on Love Is For Suckers, but I get your point. He is irreplaceable

[@kevinkiso49]

What a fucking pro, Dee Snider is; The Day after his drummer of thirty years dies he's willing to talk about it in an airport after a flight... I wish Robert Plant or Roger Daltry would have had the balls and the heart to do the same.

A.J. was a true friend to the LGBT community. He was warm, open, tactile and openly affectionate. While I was a huge fan of his talents, it is AJ the Man I will miss most. Rest in Peace, my dear sweet muffin!

No one talks about him getting w his wife when she was 15 he was 21😮

[@steveriddle8789]

Dee, when someone dies, don't talk about their talent. Honor what a great human being he was, not his skills.

[@TheOnlyHollywood1]

I think that was his way of honoring him
