R.I.P. Mike Starr

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

The former Alice in Chains bassist was found dead yesterday. Sucks...I was hoping he had turned a corner with his life...

[Jay]

I was just watching him on the new celebrity rehab show, and he was telling everybody how he was clean and sober, and how much better your life gets without drugs.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Yeah, I know...after Sober House, it looked like he was gonna clean up.

He needed more $$, to afford his own "Landy" to keep him clean.

I just found a recording that is supposedly the last voicemail he left. http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=700586b0-ddb6-4646-bad2-c84c168273a5

That took me to "Gary Busey cracked out on stripper pole" but the video you're talking about is on that page as well.

Yeah, I don't know why or how that happened. The link I was trying to post was the direct link to the Mike Starr one.

But WHY would people help to spread information like this? 
Don't you people think about his family?
 They're in mourning and don't need to have things like this dredged up and thrown in their faces!

Not specifically aimed at you, Jay, but...


What's te problem lately that everytime someone makes a remark that agitates other members of this board (whether justly or unjustly), immediately the cursing or name-calling starts. Not that I'm demanding everybody to behave like angels, but it can't be that hard to at least try to treat others as you want to be treated, can it?

It seems to become a trend on this board the last couple of months, and that saddens me a lot. Bring back the good vibes please !!

Yeah, this sucked to see.  I wasn't familiar with him honestly, but I saw him on celebrity rehab.  I think one of his big hang ups was that he was the last person to see Layne alive, and he basically said Layne was asking him to stay with him and get high or something, but he decided to leave, a couple hours later Layne was dead.  Apparently that haunted him for years.  So now his premature death gets to haunt somebody too, probably his mother and father. 

Sad stuff to see people walking towards a cliff, and nomatter what anybody says or does, they eventually walk off the edge.  Seemed like a really nice guy on the stuff I saw of him on television.

I was just throwing it back at him. those were his exact words to me in a PM a few days ago. I agree totally with you. This used to be a great place to hang out, where everybody was your friend.


Edit: That being said, I was probably still in the wrong anyway, by throwing it back at him. I apologise.
