DiSab Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 The "Big Man" is gone? I hadn't heard--that is sad. Yeah, he died from complications of a stroke he suffered last week. Extremely sad, and a huge loss for the music community.
BeemerBoy Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I just read some more about Ryan Dunn's death. I shouldn't have been so harsh on the previous page. The whole thing really is a shame.......about the Porsche. I mean, it just got some nice looking new wheels back in March. So sad.
ginzo Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 ^It all Roger Ebert's fault apparently that this idiot drunkenly drove his Porsche at 130 MPH into some trees at 3 AM.
Band-Aid Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 No, Roger Ebert joked about his death, Bam saw it and it made him angry. I would probably react the same way if someone mocked my best friend's death.
BeemerBoy Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 ^^ If your best friend dies doing something incredibly stupid, then the line to mock him starts with me.
Wes Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 No, Roger Ebert joked about his death, Bam saw it and it made him angry. I would probably react the same way if someone mocked my best friend's death. How is "Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive" a joke or mocking? It's the truth.
Band-Aid Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Well, we're not even sure if he was drunk. According to an interview with April Margera (someone close to him), she says that he was not a heavy drinker, but he was a speeder. He may not have been drunk at the time, but he was probably speeding. Yes, what he did was stupid. I just don't think it's right to mock the death of anybody.
BeemerBoy Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 ^ We're talking about a guy who got paid tremendous amounts of money to get mocked for basically everything he did. Why should his death (which was probably preventable) be any different?
Band-Aid Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Morally, I just don't think it's right to mock anybody's death. That's all.
ginzo Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 ^Ebert wasn't mocking his death. While it may take weeks for a tox screen to come back, the guy closed down a bar on a Sunday night and posted a picture of himself drinking online. It's not an unreasonable assumption that alcohol was a factor in this crash.
Wes Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Well, we're not even sure if he was drunk. Is "twice the legal limit" drunk?
Band-Aid Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Well, we're not even sure if he was drunk. Is "twice the legal limit" drunk? I posted that before the report even came out, so it would be hard to say whether or not he was drunk earlier.
BeemerBoy Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Seriously, this really pisses me off. Why couldn't he have just left me the keys to the car, lit himself on fire, and jumped off a cliff (and at least had the decency to record it for his adoring fans)????? Ugh, the selfishness of some people.

Ugh, the selfishness of some people. It's good to see that there are still decent people out there, Scott. That is very noble of you to have offered to take care of his Porsche for him. Well, we're not even sure if he was drunk. Is "twice the legal limit" drunk? I posted that before the report even came out, so it would be hard to say whether or not he was drunk earlier. Except for the tons of other evidence that he was obviously drunk before he got into that car. The tox screen was just a formality. Edited June 23, 2011 by ernierocker
Band-Aid Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) ^You still can't be 100% sure he was drunk without a toxicology test though. I never said he wasn't drunk, I was saying there was no way to be sure. Edited June 23, 2011 by Band-Aid
cfc Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 TV's greatest detective is dead: Peter "Columbo" Falk. I loved that show back in the 1970s.
coasterfreak101 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Amy Winehouse found head in her London flat. ♫ Try to make me go to rehab, and I said no, no no. ♫ ...Maybe she should have said yes?
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Can't see how anybody would be surprised by this news.
SuperShawn Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Admittedly I was hoping she would get it together since I do like her music, however her passing comes at no surprise to me.

Can't see how anybody would be surprised by this news. Admittedly I was hoping she would get it together since I do like her music, however her passing comes at no surprise to me. There are six people in Iowa going "GASP! I never knew she even had a problem! Such a tragedy over a wholesome girl like that!"
Coaster Cow Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Oohh my head. Here comes the Janis Joplin references and Academy-award winning movie.
B-RadG Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Not surprised, she was living on borrowed time, even she knew that. It is a shame, however. She had such talent but squandered it.
