She was a salty old broad! All morning I've been watching classic and modern Joan Rivers clips. She was very much the female Don Rickels, but I feel she had the upper hand of being more in tuned with pop culture. While I may not agree with her political ideology, there is no denying she was a comedic force never willing to apologize for her jokes. In that sense, she was pretty fuckin' metal (although mostly plastic).
A few metal notables had some very kind things to say about Joan, so we thought we'd share them:
Rob Zombie posted the above photo to his Instagram with the caption:
I only met Joan Rivers once but she was super cool and really nice. Really sad. #joanriversripFollow
Not only was Joan a comic genius, she was an amazing woman. Thank you for always having Kelly’s back. You will always be a legend. RIP

On last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live, he shared a clip of Joan's recent appearance on the show, and she still had it…
