A sad day in the music world indeed...rip Mike

How did a discussion about the passing of an influential musician degenerate into what brand of kicks or musical genres were/are/will be popular?

The guy died ... just my opinion, but if someone didn't care for his music, please consider being respectful and pass on by or refrain from posting something that could be seen as denigrating the man.

RIP Mike Starr

This is the real question. Someone starts a tribute thread for someone who just died, and you come in here to start shitting on his genre of music? Can't you see how this would be offensive to the people who might choose to post in this thread? Like if I went into a Troops Support thread and said something insulting or denegrating about the military?

Maybe it's not your opinion, but rather your choice of venue that is offensive to some of the people here....and I don't need to use the "shocked face", because we have all seen this story before.

And that my friends pretty much sums it up.

A sympathy thread for someone who tried to capitalize on their drug addiction by a reality show?

Sympathy for someone who's only "claim to fame" was LEAVING A BAND EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO?

Gimme a break. I have more sympathy for the bugs on my windshield than any drug addict that pisses their life away or suck starts a shotgun.

Some of you act like you knew the guy personally. Please.

Another dead drug addict. Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection.

Quote:

The former Alice in Chains bassist, who was found dead in his Salt Lake City home Tuesday, made a desperate plea for drugs shortly before he died.

"If you could score me an eighth, quarter ounce, half ounce or bud or whatever," Starr said to an unidentified friend in a voice mail message obtained by TMZ.com.

"I need it so bad," the musician pleaded before hanging up.

Yeah. We're supposed to feel SORRY for this guy?

and yet, here you are doing everything in your power to somehow seem more relevant than Mike Starr but every time you come up short. How sad for you.

I'm the man in the box, buried in my sh*t

One of the best concerts I have seen was AICs, better than Metallica, Guns-n-Roses. . .

MurphysLaw · 03-10-2011, 07:21 AM

AIC put on one of the best shows I've ever seen...and their last album, which came out in 2009 was fantastic

03-10-2011, 09:20 AM

I have always liked and worn flannel shirts.

But I wash my hair (I still have plenty).

One of my favorite albums, one I listen to again and again, is Jar of Flies. It has a great variety of styles on it. I will listen to it again on the way to work today. My commute takes that long.

awsmith4 · 03-10-2011, 09:26 AM

'Dirt' was and still is an album I love to hear, RIP Mike

guitar4001 · 03-10-2011, 11:53 AM

early end to a troubled life. RIP

icehog3 · 03-11-2011, 12:26 AM

Absolutely classless.

I do feel sorry for him and his family. Addiction is a tough thing to get over.

We celebrate Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Michael Jackson, and countless other musicians who had drug problems. I don't see why this case is any different.

I agree....& TOBii3 I can't not believe that you would post such classless & disrespectful remarks about someone you did not personally know. A human life is still a human life, reguardless!!!!! RIP

I like Hendrix's music. I don't celebrate him. I like Kurt's music, but he took his own life. In my book that makes you a Dbag. To quit on your family like that, or turn to drugs.... Oh well.

T.G · 03-11-2011, 12:59 PM

Could we please not start that sh!t all over again?

I can be empathetic to what you are saying, but this just isn't the place for that debate.

shark · 03-11-2011, 06:55 PM

And that is how you flame out and get banned.

RIP Mr. Starr. I always liked Alice in Chains.

Starscream · 03-11-2011, 08:41 PM

Request from the op that this one get locked up. Sadly, I think it's run its course.
