Why do they all die so young? (No Poo) Serious thread...

[CurrentlySober]

Recently found a 'new' (To Me) musical performer...

Researched him in order to find more of his work... Turns out he was born the same year as I was (1968) - Cool

But he died in 1996 - Of a herion overdose...

WHY?

He had it all - Success, fans... Top of the game etc... SO WHY?

Its not like he didnt get where he wanted to be...

Now hes dead - No more music...

THE SELFISH BASTARD !!!

I mean its not as if he was so successful that he had SO MUCH MONEY... That he was tempted....

I mean, I could take a tenner downtown right now, and get enough smack to overdose easily...

Like I say - Selfishness... I wanted MORE!!!

I just know he died of a heroin overdose in 1996. I'm pretty sure the only other heroin OD of a musician in 1996 was the guy from the Smashing Pumpkins. I was pretty sure you'd have heard of the Smashing Pumpkins, so my guess was the logical one.

Brad Nowell's family donated his beach cruiser to the Hard Rock at the time I was handling memorabilia acquisitions. So that's the reason this one sticks in my head.

[LAJ]

I knew right away you were talking about Bradley Nowell from Sublime. Such a waste.

When's your bday in 1968 btw... same year as me.

CS, you're not the only one who feels this way. Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus of GWAR), recently passed from a heroin overdose. Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe voiced his frustration at pretty much the same thing you're frustrated with:

Here’s me with Dave Brockie & Brad Roberts of GWAR in 2006. Brad & I are still here, but Dave is gone- accidental heroin overdose, as many of you heard today. Not that it really matters, because dead is dead, but I don’t think Brockie was a stone cold junkie when he died- he couldn’t have done all that he did if he was strung out. He partied hard at periods, but I think he was more of a drug dabbler. But there’s a lesson here- dabbling with drugs kills people dead every day, just like being fully addicted does. I am so fucking sick of my friends dying from alcohol & drugs. Really, really, tired of it- some of them die slow in the throes of addiction, & some of them die after just doing something stupid one night after a party. Some if them fuck around and fuck around and fuck around…”I’ll get sober one day…” For most of them, that day comes for sure- when we put them in a casket. It’s better to be alive when you get sober. In this photo I was still drinking- I am a FULL BLOWN ALCOHOLIC. When I drink, I do crazy, really ill stuff. But I am a sober man today. I LIVE FREE. I might die surfing in the ocean tomorrow, but I will go out doing what I love, not choking on my own vomit. Besides that, I can just try & help others, so I’m writing this to YOU- YES, YOU- you, the one who can’t stop drinking & getting fired & pissing off your wife, you the one who steals pills from you friend’s medicine cabinet, you the one who is in a dark hole & wants to die & the only thing that fixes it for a little while is a drink or a drug- WAKE UP. GET HELP. STOP. PLEASE, I’M FUCKING BEGGING YOU. YOU CAN DO IT. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET SOME HELP. If I can do it, ANYONE CAN, because I was a TOTAL WRECK for YEARS. Just get some help, goddamn it. And if you haven’t started, don’t. JUST DONT. There is NOTHING cool about being an alcoholic, a drug addict, or dead. Trust me. For the love of God, just don’t start. Please.

Constipation?

Sorry, had to.

I was a rock journalist back in the '80's/'90's. In fact, I was the last one to interview several celebrities before they died: Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon, Sam Kinison, River Phoenix and a few others. At the time it was sad (always sad) but also 'cool' in a 'street cred' kind of way. But when I see the pattern repeated (as with Amy Winehouse) I do not think it is 'cool'. I didn't back then, either, but other musicians, actors etc would speak of the OD'd with a weird kind of respect.

Now today, with music having less of a cultural impact and the Internet fragmenting fan bases, it seems to me like these new, younger artists are pining for the Glory Days when rock stars ruled the Earth. But those days are mostly gone so perhaps it is a sadness for those imagined times gone by.

OR they could just be people with addictive personalities to begin with, with an urgent need to be liked and noticed and to escape their pain. But this has always been the case for artists. One thing is certain: if you're messing around with needles, or drinking heavily (as in, daily or to extremes), ingesting man-made chemicals (smoking, sniffing, shooting) STOP. Get help. Your life is worth more than a monetary high.

(the above is for people who cannot handle their high and ABUSE drugs & alcohol. For all you clear-thinking drug users and drinkers: party on.)

If yer a creative person opiates seem to have a certain synergy with that creativity. Speaking from experience I totally get it why some people get addicted (I am not nor have I ever been addicted) but I can straight up tell you that opiates bring out better writing in me.
