    Wayne Static. Was a huge part of my youth, Static-X fell apart sadly under sad circumstances, he died from his demons haunting him and 2 years later his young widow killed herself too.

    I remembered having tickets for their gig in Vienna, it got cancelled unfortunately and only a few months later he died.

    He's far from dead. Have you heard the leaked standup show from long island?
    It's amazingly good.

    I wish Chris Cornell & Frank Zappa were still alive and making music.

    True. I suppose I mourn the momentum that was growing behind his style of work. Horace and Pete, Louie. Great, great shows that put good acting and great character development at the forefront.

    He did terrible things and should be punished for that. Unfortunately this is the collateral damage.

    Could you imagine how Zappa's ''Bobby Brown'' would go down in today's environment.

    meh - how terrible and how punished? man is definitely a genius at what he does and why should the world suffer. Louie was savage wasn't it?

    Frank Zappa.

    not a lot of people know him, but was a sad sad day for music when he died.
    Such talent.

    :pac: He would have still released it.

    Just listened to it again - not sure it would cause any controversy it's still very well judged by todays standards, it's even very apt with Judge Kavanagh etc. High quality satire doesn't age badly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 630 ✭✭✭ceekay74


    Satire can be lost on a lot of people.
