Oh shit, I didn't even know he died. What a shame.
>>63338992
His girlfriend literally killed him for Jesus
>>63338992
I was just watching a documentary on youtube about Minutemen, fuck it made me so sad, I had to stop watching it. D's mom died when he was 18, the bands worked so fucking hard to get where they were, not like the spoiled middle class brats who dominate music today. Every time I listen to Corona it makes me sad. What a talented band though, without them I don't think bands like Slint would sound they way they did.
It's like if Brian Wilson died right after releasing Pet Sounds
>>63339121
It's a weird way of saying that she was driving the car to a Christmas party and D. was stupidly sleeping in the back of the van without a seat belt, just fucking laying in the back like an animal. His girlfriend took a sharp turn and D. flew out of the van and snapped his neck.
Shit tier way to die.
>>63339121
His girlfriend was driving him to either his or her parents for Christmas when she crashed the van killing him instantly.
hence, get in the van.
He had finally found a perfect lineup for his project, but a bad day, a little too much alcohol, and a weak railing killed him at the peak of his creative genius.
>>63339176
>His girlfriend took a sharp turn and D. flew out of the van
oh wtf I didnt know that. I assumed she crashed.
>>63339127
>that scene where George talks about D's death and he chokes up
>"a piece of my heart has been missing since that day"
>>63339180
>hence, get in the van
No, Get In the Van is Henry Rollins's Black Flag memoir. The title is just a reference to touring.
Jeff Buckley
Shannon Hoon
Nick Drake
Chuck Schuldiner
Marvin Gaye

Poor lad killed himself only a bit before he would have made thousands off his work.

Very recent, but Keith Emerson. I mean the man did for keyboards what John Entwistle and Jack Bruce did for bass. To think he was so dedicated to his craft that he would literally rather die than not be able to perform and play is so amazing that its sad.
>>63339194
Sleazy's too
>just fucking dies in his sleep at the age of 55
>>63339225
THIS
oh my god the potential he fucking had. all of his music sounds way ahead of it's time and he was just simply the victim of an unfortunate circumstance and an awful fucking time to be alive.
>>63339198
It's not really his girlfriend's 'fault,' though it could be considered manslaughter I don't know. D. was a fool for getting in the back of the van and falling asleep, his girlfriend is a fool for letting him do it. It's not as tragic as it may seem when you look at the situation. It's not like he was shot or something.
>It is said at the end of the concert when the band finished its last song, Shinji Sato, the band's frontman, with his eyes watery, let out a final "goodbye" before immediately leaving the stage.This was to be Kashiwabara's final performance with the band, though Sato and Motegi planned to continue working as Fishmans. However, Sato died the following year on March 15 due to heart problems that he had suffered since birth.

>>63339203
No other death in music has hit me as hard, when I found out D was dead after I got into Minutemen and read about his, and the rest of the bands life, it just depresses me. They were a band from a working class town who somehow just managed to come up with this really distinct sound that put so many other alternative bands of the 80's to shame. They just seem like such honest and sincere guys, no bullshit like when you watch interviews with other bands, it's literally just them being themselves.
>>63339225
Telstar was fucking huge. Had the French cunt not sued him, he would have been able to pay off his debt and build a real studio.
Also, he had been planning to work with Bowie. He died before that happened, but could you imagine Ziggy Stardust and all his other space-era music with him behind it?
>>63339218
>Jeff Buckley
Fucking this. He had so much fucking potential it was unbelievable. Imagine if he got to release as many albums as his father. Shit would have been insane.
>>63339225
This too. Such a shame.
Also, Richey James Edwards. He wanted the next Manics album to sound like "Pantera meets Screamadelica meets Nine Inch Nails". Shit would have been nuts. We got Everything Must Go, which was pretty good, but damn...
Could you imagine the absolute fucking field day he would have with modern culture?
God damn I miss this guy. He would have lived to be 80 and would still crank out ridiculous but great music.
>>63339482
this is going to sound silly but I was thinking about him the other day and how he would never do an album making fun of dubstep and EDM and I almost cried
>>63339225
Does anyone have a decent rip of a good comp of Meek's singles? I already have I Hear a New World and there's nothing else in the archive
While he had long stopped making masterworks, his actual death will never not be depressing.
>Wife and oldest son are randomly shot while walking home from the grocery store in NYC
>Ends up moving down to Florida to get away from it
>Has a heart attack and has to step down from doing the intense junkanoo performances he loved.
>Did slow Jazz in Louisiana for a few years before he could no longer do that
>Traveled back and forth between Florida and the Bahamas, but his money ran out - his Bahamian watercolors were not a big seller
>His last few years were spent desperately trying to get money to record a new album
>An old superfan finds him and begins the process of getting him on the road of getting back into the studio if he can get him back to NYC
>He doesn't hear back from him, so he flies down to Florida to find out what's up
>Finds him dead on the floor in a run down house; he was alone for around a week
>Bugs had eaten most of his paintings and tapes, so nobody knows what his last works were
;_;
>>63339596
Damn. That's a tough fucking way to die. Rip
: ' (
Imagine what Teklife/the footwork scene would be like if he was still alive.
>>63339596
didn't know
>Mom dies when he's young
>Dad throws acid in his eyes after an argument with his stepmom
>Remained in poverty for the rest of his life
>One day, his house he had been working for most of his life for burns down
>With nowhere to go, he lived in the ruins of his house
>Caught malaria; could have survived if the hospital allowed black people
>Tossed in a random unmarked plot after death
>>63339242
he moved to bangkok, thailand and had an affinity for male prostitutes, i'm gonna go out on a limb and say it wasn't sudden death
>>63339786
this is horrific
>>63339786
I remember reading his story after listening to Dark Was the Night. It's pretty cool that his song is in space now though
>>63339596
Citation needed. I can find confirmation for the bugs, but nothing else.
>>63339694
His death is a genuine outrage. Fucking piece of shit Germans just thought he was a junkie and just fed him drugs and left him to die.
>>63338992
T.Rex in the 80s would have been absolutely orgasmic
>>63339913
wow just looked up his biography and that pisses me off. the people responsible for taking care of him in the hospital should've been charged with manslaughter
>>63339596
Obeah man come back
Bring your obeah sack

Don't worry, the Earl/OPN collab will bring footwork into weirder places than anyone could imagine

Noice.
>>63339596
Well, if there's one happy thing to know, his death wasn't totally ignored. Thousands of Junkanoo fans and musicians traveled up from the Bahamas to pay their respects. I'm guessing they weren't aware of how much trouble he was having with his health and finances.
I hope more of his watercolors surface someday. They're really nice.

I don't know why really but this one hit me hard when it happened. He was such an understated talent and contributed a lot to PF's sound.
>>63340120
Oh, and I jerked off to his sister the other day, only afterwards searching her name and realizing who she was. I have no idea why that hit me as hard as it did. I feel like shit.
dont forget the tragedy of dave grohl friends
never forget . .. .. .
He was never the same after being landized

I'm glad Landy got lung cancer and drowned in his own mucus. What a scumbag.

How old are you? I'm 25, when i was younger piling into a van was just something you did, it's nobodys fault, today people are way more cautious with everything they do, but back then, it was just something you didn't really think twice about, you certainly don't think that someone is going to crash your fucking van everytime you get into it. It's such a tragic way to go and a freak accident.
>>63340144
kek you're not the only one lad
Gabrielle is an absolute fox.
Blind Owl Wilson
More or less like Nick Drake
>but ugly
>>63339786
it was the stepmom who blinded him. 70 years ago and still mad.
>>63340360
Blind Owl was so cool man
He loved nature and the redwoods, he loved to sleep outside so he could be closer to nature. He was also a fucking incredible harmonica player.
He dabbin?

The drug addled loser was dead for decades before he actually kicked the bucket. Doesn't count.
What do you mean it doesn't "count" you fucking faggot? He suffered from schizophrenia for decades and asshole Floyd fans and paparazzi made his life a nightmare.
>>63339552
I know that feel
>>63341260
RIGHT HERE >>63340129
I swear, Pink Floyd fans must all be fried off acid as well.
>>63341285
this. the syd we love died in 1972.
>>63341305
Bummer. He still got his royalty checks though. Spare me. The man threw away his career and his "legacy" is the most overrated heap of bullshit in all of modern music.
>Had serious anger issues
Crazy to think how a dude's music put many people at ease but couldn't find himself to find his own sense of clarity.
>>63341308
That's Richard Wright ya dingus.
>>63341305
There's an article of some sort that was written about him by his next door neighbor of like the last ten years of his life or so. You ever read it? It's pretty interesting, as sad as it is. That guy sounded completely mental.
>>63341442
Link? I'd like to read it.
>>63341366
Damn I didn't even know. I thought he was like this tranquil dude like that picture of him playing ping-pong? He looks so happy
>>63341352
>Bummer. He still got his royalty checks though
Sure. Mental Illness is no big deal if you have money.
>>63339194
who dis?
Bill doss.
I was so fucking distraught. I couldn't listen to IT until this year since then, and even then it's still hard. Why man why. And will has MS such fucking bullshit dude all the guys from E6 deserved better
>>63339552
then make one yourself.
>>63339218
Marvin Gaye's death breaks my heart. His dad was a pretty fucked up guy. Gay Sr. had always warned his kids that if they ever struck him he would kill them. Marvin hit his dad when Sr. was beating on Marvin's mother and they all knew that was it.
Shot him 8 minutes after an altercation they had over Sr. entering Marvin's room when he didn't want him there.
Really sad loss of a legend over nothing.
>>63340688
Nigga that was a tour bus
>>63340201
I still do this...
If he dies at 90 itll be too soon
>>63339786
Beyond fucked up. Poor guy. I can't imagine seeing a blind person stumbling around in the Texas heat in the ruins of his own home. Poor bastard probably had roaches crawling all over him at night while he tried to sleep.
>>63341488
John Balance of Coil.
>>63341532
you may not believe this but my buddies grandpa was a die-hard Marvin Gaye fan and when he had to be put into a home, he figured out he was staying on the same floor as Marvin Gaye Sr. he beat the SHIT out of him like within an inch of his life.
>>63339194
>John Balance
>couldn't
>>63340813
That's why blues run the game
>>63341581
Nigga what
>>63341581
i choose to believe you
>>63341581
That's awesome. Gay Sr. wasn't a very good man, very confused and unstable.
>>63341581
I don't know whether to hope this is true because Marvin Sr deserved it or false because your friend's grandpa shouldn't have to deal with that shit.
>>63341581
i choose to believe.
my friends grandpa shot himself in the toe to get out of WW2 and it got infected and he lost his whole leg up to the hip haha

It strikes me as very odd that he died within 24 hours of John Lennon and that like Lennon he was technically killed by someone since Casey Cola shot him up. Also both were basically acid cult leaders in addition to the musical connection of course.
D. Boon (even though I just discovered Minutemen this week)
David Bowie

i still can't believe this dude killed himself
so much potential on the cusp of making it big
ugh, i wonder what the hell was going through his head
i think the circlejerk around him having the potential to be one of the greatest is annoying but it is just so sad how tragically young he was when he decided to end it
Cliff Burton, bassist of Metallica, died at 24, was already a prodigy on bass, so much fucking wasted potential
