11 Years Ago Today

The world lost an incredible singer.

Another smackhead musician.

Cant say it was a surprise though.

According to Wikipedia (i know!) it was a "accidental intense Cocaine overdose.

how the fuck can you have that?

Well bugger me. Pope Eusebius also died on this day. Bet he could sing.

Liam I don't give a shit what you think

and I bet that Pope had nothing on Shannon

And i dont give a shit about crap american smackhead bands from the early 90's.

If someone is going to have an "intense" cocaine session, then quite frankly, then they have no one to blame but themselves. People will say he as misunderstood, I say he was a fucking idiot.

who the hell are we talking about here?

nevermind....figured it out.can't say much not knowing his music. kind of reminds me of layne staley though. drugs don't do anything for anyone but put one foot in the grave until it does 'em in.

I havent a clue who died, and I dont give a shit

Yep, that's the one he means...

Snorri xxx

Shannon is a girls name if you ask me.

same here....I've never heard of them

The singer from Blind Melon? Errr...not really the voice of a generation, now was he? More like that 1-hit wonder band.

Is that fat little bee girl still alive? That is all I really remember about Blind Melon. Think she is in college now and uses her fame as the bee girl to get laid? Still wears a bee costume at halloween? Or is just a tubby woman with zits working the counter at McDonalds, her life having long since peaked...?

five minutes wouldn't pass without one seeing that bee girl. she was omnipresent on MTV my sophomore year in college and i got damn sick of her.

Its a fooking RIVER

thats all it should be

Ditto Kerry - a county Tyrone - another County Lee - a river etc

Can't have been that big a band if they only played stage No 2?

Soul One, Mouthful of Cavities >>>>>>>>>>>> No Rain

And No Rain is awesome, so hopefully that gives some idea of how amazing the other two are.

No rain was annoying, but they had some random song on thier second album I liked, and also the remake of the "3's the Magic Number". . . .other than that, kinda worth forgetting.

elliott smith dies three years ago this week

Shannon was the singer behind the seminal electro crossover track "Let The Music Play" which New Order's warm up DJ played on Thursday night straight after Justice v Simian.

I remember that bee girl, but also I remember reading in an interview how Billy Corgan bad-mouthed Blind Mellon because they were SP's opening band. I don't remember NO Rain well, though.

Commie, doesn't Jack hate that band, btw?

The one with that homeless looking guy?

I don't remember Cobain looking homeless...

Didn't see many pics of him, did you?

I did see pictures of Cobain, but I don't think he looks homeless. He looks like a typical grunge rocker to me.

FFS Jack, you need to listen to Mudhoney...the good half of Green River.

The half that instead of showing their respect to Sonic Youth by touring with them, played with them and recorded a split single of eachother's songs.

A Picture of a Cunt:

No, while personal abuse is certainly a no no, it take second place to the right, if not the reponsibility, of posting the truth, stating bare facts.

For instance..... "that Tom Cruise is a kiddie toucher", would be bad, because there is no evidence.... Whereas... "that Tom Cruise is a talentless nut-cult following retard dwarf" would be fine as it's merely stating verifiable, measurable, facts. Likewise, were anyone to suggest you were, for example, a a Bangkok Ladyboy, sent to infiltrate Manchester with a view to suicide bombing the local branch of HMV...that would be a terrible violation of standards. But calling you a cunt, is no more out of order than saying that Earth Normal surface graity averages around 9.814ms^-2.

But you know what they say, if you've got it, flaunt it.

For those who don't know, Liam is the one on the left

Ah now he's edited it to specify!

But theres no specification. He might be calling Johnny a Cunt. Now thats definitley a violation of community standards.

A valid point.

I am offended by this unprovoked attack on my good character.

I do listen to Mudhoney mate. Just not that much.

Fave songs are probably suck you dry, blindspots and in my finest suit.

i got the latest album and it's pretty good, they're just not one of my top bands.
