Quiet Riot's singer's death was an overdose!!!

[PCofmisfittoys]

You have that perogative (personally, I wouldn't be that cold, nor would
I find the NEED to announce that online following someone's unfortunate
accidential passing)...and at least he HAD 15 minutes....and a "good"
influence on many, including myself regardless of drug problems

and one more thing regarding your 15 minutes remark...his album
METAL HEALTH will be noted as a groundbreaking album in music history
(the first metal debut to EVER go #1) long after you (& I) are dead and gone

weeeeee. and i still have no sympathy for druggies. and I wonder how many people he influenced in a negative way? ( I could do this all day)

Appreciated Steve---I find it odd that people actually use posts
on the Net to "urinate on people's grave" without thinking twice---
it really begs the question "What's got people so bitter?"

I could even understand a more mature comment along the lines of "I didn't care
for his music" or something along those lines if its that's important to one to
"kick the guy" that just passed---but the sarcasm---I just don't see where the
nastiness originates from.

Again with the bitterness & spite----and I don't even GET what you mean
by "influenced in a negative way"----since you can "do this all day" why
don't you explain---I'm curious.

The only influence I ever had from Quiet Riot was a positive one, as they were one of my favorite bands as a kid, and one of many influences that made me become a musician. I'm not a drug user and I don't condone their usage, by famous people or otherwise, but it's still sad that the man died. Whether he had "15 minutes of fame" or 25 years of fame is subjective and besides the point. He and his music meant something to some people out there and that's what matters.

Dubrow joins the ranks of drug/alcohol-related deaths of famous and talented musicians such as:

Janis Joplin (heroin overdose)
Jimi Hendrix (wine and sleeping pills)
Jim Morrison (?uncertain, possible heroin overdose)
Keith Moon (overdose of medication prescribed to help him stop drinking)
John Bonham (heavy drinking)
Shannon Hoon (who also died of cocaine intoxication, poor soul)

I mourn them all.

And don't forget Elvis Presley. His constant use of amphetamines and tranquilizers is what is thought to be the main culprit of his untimely death.

Why can't someone introduce Justin Timberlake to cocaine??

Forgive me--- but I really don't have any sympathy for a person who knowing abuses drugs to the point they cause their own death.

Instead of saying we're sorry for them-- we should be laughing at their stupidity.

Yeah, because "laughing at their stupidity" makes you feel how?
"Righteous"?

Or "laughing" accomplishes what?
It just makes me wonder what the goal is of mocking the dead.

Just what point are you trying to prove by "laughing" at their senseless
death(s)

Not once did I ever imply that anyone should feel sorry for drug users who
kill themselves (altho multiple posts on here would lead you to believe I did)

----I DID however imply that its in bad taste to play judge & jury as well
as urinate on someone's grave---especially so quickly after their passing

Righteous ?

As in Righteous Brothers ?
Now they were pretty good.

This guy,
He made one crumbie song that I always hated --BIG-TIME.....

All I can say as a eulogy --- I ain't gunna miss his sorry ***

[huedell]

Hey Mike---you are rude and have some nerve---

I thought you had some respect---not just in general---but towards me--
--guess not

Hope you feel better for being so insensitive and proclaiming it

And Don't forget Ac/DC Rocker Bon Scott, Heavy drinking (choking to death on his own vomit).

huedell, apparently this is a touchy subject for you so we'll have to agree to disagree. Let's tak about toys again....

Hue, I like you a lot.....

But I wont respectfully eulogize anyone who kills themselves.

I don't care if it's Hendrix, dead on a toilet seat Elvis or this guy.
