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

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 :thumbsup

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

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 !!!

:mad:

ok lets take this thread seriously.......

Lots of artists & creative types take drugs. Some drug users keep it under control and some OD. He OD'ed'ed'ed....

Thats extremely thexy... BUT... its 'Poo' that I like :(

Not 'poop' :(

Sawwwrrrryyyyy :(

Yeah... I'll give you that when it comes to 'Kurt Kobain' etc.... But this was just a minor no one...

Like I say - Selfish BASTERED !

Mucho gusto, me llamo Bradley, I'm hornier than Ron Jeremy.

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!!!

Was I right?

Have you either read my mind, or know who I'm talking about! ??? :upsidedow

Your post is 'overly' accurate :)

start a tribute band?

I think so :) :thumbsup

We can do... But I'm not really into taking the drugs part...

So if your up for it - all cool.... :helpme :upsidedow

it was inner demons..

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.

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.

Just such a shame, imho.... :(

August Mate :thumbsup

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:

Profound Movie....Heroin is a very deceptive entity, very lady like....the quality is very unpredictable. very unfortunate he found his death just messing around.

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.

I would assume you're doped up when writing.


kidding :0

Not usually but heres how to tell If I get introspective Its a good sign I am between the spinal surgery and the broken leg I spent some time in an mild Oxy haze over the last 5 or 6 years

hers an example of what I think is better writing inspired by opiates

And THAT my friend... Is why I can happily state (In a heterosexual way) as to why I FUCKING LOVE YOU :thumbsup

Do me a favour though? Please don't OD... :winkwink:

I wanna meet again at least once in this life.... & as I am banned from 'Murica.... Well, catch yah at some point FOR SURE :thumbsup

Heroin. That's the reason he's dead. Don't fuck with it.

no worries brudda...I have arthritis in my left knee and an ongoing script for hydrocodone every once in a while I take 3 7.5/325s not gonna OD on that just a pleasant lift

Maybe they wanted better life
