Tim Cronin<\/strong> \u2013 original drummer of Monster Magnet<\/a><\/strong> (and longtime lights guy for the band), vocalist for The Ribeye Brothers<\/strong>, and longtime employee of Jack’s Music in Red Bank \u2013 has sadly died. Cronin<\/strong> was originally diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in March of this year, an incurable nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Cronin<\/strong>‘s death has since been confirmed by two musicians in his orbit.<\/p>\n Dave Hill<\/strong>: “RIP Tim Cronin<\/strong>, the absolute king of kindness and generosity and a badass for the ages. He will be missed by legions. I’m lucky to have known him and honored to call him a friend.”<\/p>\n Bob Pantella<\/strong> of Monster Magnet<\/a><\/strong> and The Atomic Bitchwax<\/a><\/strong>: “Words cannot express how great this guy was\u2026 You had to know him. Rest in peace Tim.”<\/p>\n On a personal note, I\u2019m extremely saddened by Tim\u2019s passing. I\u2019ve been shopping at Jack\u2019s Music since I was a teenager in Red Bank, spending entirely too much money on stacks of CDs and Tim was always the nicest and most helpful guy. He was always up for a chat, always checked in to see how things were going with me, and we slowly became friends over the course of 20 years of me being a gigantic record-shopping nerd. I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better friend in the Red Bank realm. Godspeed, Tim<\/strong>, and thank you for everything. I’ll miss you.<\/p>\n Enter your information below to get a daily update with all of our headlines and receive The Orchard Metal newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
