[edit] Lynn's Death
In the beginning stages of recording their second album, Lynn was killed in a car accident on a California highway. The accident also took the life of Lynn's dog Dobbs, the dog that appears on the cover of Get Some.
Mike Doling: "We can't go on without Lynn, it's just bullshit when bands do that." [1]
Statement released by Snot: "Lynn just seemed to have this special energy, that no matter who was in the room, all these legends that we were touring with, they came second to Lynn's vibration. We wish more of the world could have experienced him. We cannot seem to explain that quality that he had in words. All the memories that we had with Lynn we will cherish in our hearts forever."[2]
