Which musician suffered the worst demise?
>>100875446Pic related & Layne. But the latter was officially his own choice
Not many others have been killed by their lover for their fortune so you're gonna have a tough time topping that itt
Townes Van Zandt
>>100875446He's been dead since 1967
Nice Blue Cheer shirt
>>100875446Lil Peep, he was overdosing for ages in the back of the tour bus and nobody even cared.
>>100875519nobody cared because he probably looked like that every second of every day. dumb junkie

There's a lengthy article about Jason Molina's last few years that is depressing as fuck
>>100875637this is up there>>100875653I remember reading that he was feeling good and on the upswing when he died of liver failure, but I don't remember where. More tours and albums were planned
>>100875694When he died he was finally making new music but constantly in and out of the emergency room and couldn't afford rehab anymore because of medical bills. Pretty sure this is the most in depth article that covers a lot of the final year struggles.https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/jason-molina-songs-ohia-magnolia-electric-co-secretly-canadian/Content?oid=15163643
>On Christmas Day, December 25, 2009, Chesnutt died from an overdose of muscle relaxants that had left him in a coma in an Athens hospital. He was 45 years of age.[6] In his final interview, which aired on National Public Radio 24 days before his death, Chesnutt said that he had "attempted suicide three or four times [before]. It didn't take."[8]>According to him in the same interview, being "uninsurable" due to his quadriplegia, he was $50,000 in debt for his medical bills, and had been putting off a surgery for a year ("And, I mean, I could die only because I cannot afford to go in there again. I don't want to die, especially just because of I don't have enough money to go in the hospital.").[8]

Brian Wilson
that guy from the gin blossoms shot himself (understandably) and supposedly it was in the stomach and he lay in misery bleeding for some days. i mean there is more competition for miserable existences, but in terms of specifically a miserable demise that's fairly hard to top.
>>100875507indeed
>>100875938that man was a fucking genius on the bass and underrated as fuckhe and Layne carried the band by a fucking mile
>>100875488Layne was way worse. Poor guy suffered for years. Based Kurt saw the future and jumped out, making himself and grunge legendary
>>100875938How does that make him a goon?
Ariel Pink
>>100876154we're all goons m8, just waiting to die.
>>100876317What a fool. I respect him deeply for standing up for his unpopular opinions but dude you make hipster music lmao wtf did you expect? Boomers ain’t listening to your cover of Baby, retard
>>100876428>stop having an opinion unless it conforms with what your zoomer fanbase deems acceptable, whatever that may be this weekkill yourself
Syd Barrett>>100875507Equally sad
>>100876460Man no way lol, I agree with based Ariel. I just think we live in a shitty world where you have to play by the shitty rules
Doug Hopkins>suffered from chronic depression since childhood and had been battling alcoholism for many years.>formed the Gin Blossoms in the 80's as the band's lead guitarist and principal songwriter>in 1990, the Gin Blossoms were one of the hottest local bands in Tempe and the surrounding areas, and they signed a contract with A&M Records.>was resistant to signing to a major label, feeling like its property, and reacted with stubbornness and more drinking. >When the band recorded its second studio album New Miserable Experience in February 1992, it was reported that Hopkins was unable to stand during his recording sessions. Faced with the prospect of firing Hopkins or being dropped by A&M, the band terminated Hopkins. >The band then withheld $15,000 owed to Hopkins until he agreed to sign over half of his publishing royalties. >Hopkins was also required to relinquish his mechanical royalties to his replacement. Hopkins reluctantly agreed to these demands because of his dire financial situation.>New Miserable Experience went on to become a multi-platinum album.>As the Gin Blossoms experienced mounting success performing songs he had written, Hopkins became increasingly despondent. Although he had always dreamed of having a gold record, when he received one (for the song "Hey Jealousy"), he hung it up for two weeks before taking it down and then destroying it. Nine days later, during an intake consultation in the detox unit of Phoenix's St. Luke's Hospital, Hopkins purchased a .38 caliber pistol. The next day, December 5, 1993, Hopkins died by suicide.

All these artists had sex.Nick Drake died a virgin which is more tragic than anything else that could happen to a person.
>>100878697i mean i don't know about that, but nick drake needed to be brought into the conversation
>>100875446Elvis or Ian Curtis.Elvis:>social retard who can only talk to teenage girls without sperging>starts to crack from all the pressure>eats 20,000 calories a day and does drug cocktails to keep himself occupied>dies while trying to shit out 6 deep fried peanut butter and banana sandwichesNow it doesn't sound all that bad in some ways, but remember how slow this process was. He killed himself for 20 years straight after peaking gloriously after living his first 20 years in poverty. He probably only felt alive for a year or two.Ian:>loves to be a generic punk band singer>can't find success>accidentally finds a producer who makes him famous by completely remixing his band's style in a way that couldn't be copied well live>tries to make up for poor live performances with flashy shows>has a seizure every fucking time because he's epileptic>no one likes the music he actually liked to produce>never enjoyed his stardom even once>normies started misinterpreting his lyrics>kills himself before what outsiders would think to be the biggest moments of his career, but were probably actually the most depressing>his band clearly didn't agree with his style because they became a generic synth band without him

dude jeff without a doubt>drowned, fully clothed, singing "whole lotta love" by led zeppelin, no drugs/alcohol in his system>was nervous about fame which was holding him back from releasing his best stuff, last words to his manager was "im ready to be popular now" >literally predicted his drowning in his lyrics multiple times>could've saved rock if he managed to stay alive

>>100878792I listened to him. Not that good. I would unironically rather listen to Justin Bieber.
>>100878962 Bieber has some good songs and so does Jeff Buckley what’s the problem
>>100878792Is that the guy from snot or do a lot of people die that way?
Notice how there hasn't been a single woman posted. It is literally impossible for a woman to experience hardship in life.

>>100878993NicoKaren Carpenter
>>100879043>>100878993dolores o'riordan too
>>100879063And Sinead O'Connor.
>>100878873paul mccartney called his manager up personally to invite himself to one of his shows, jimmy page and robert plant attended multiple as well and invited him to tour with them, david bowie called his album one of his "desert island" albums, and many, many other critically acclaimed musicians said he was the best voice of the generation. he might be unknown now, but every big rock musician knows just how big of a loss he was.
>>100878993The only ones I can think of are Karen Carpenter and Judy Garland. Garland ended up alcoholic, addicted to barbiturates and insanely jealous of her daughter. She od'd at the age of 47. Pic is from right before she died.
>>100875519This one right here
>>100879372damn she looks awfuldidnt know about any of that. i do prefer liza to her so.. checks out
Brad Nowell.
>>100876154it doesn't.
>>100879383looking at pic of Judy Garland in her mid 40s and pics of Shane MacGowan now is what ultimately made me quit drinking.
Be at peace, sweet prince.
Another awful pic of Judy Garland
>>100879387Brad the chad. His death wasn’t that bad, when you OD on H you just pass out and don’t feel anything there’s much worse ways to go but yeah he missed out on the majority of his success and his sons life
>>100875994rent free in your commie head zoomer
>>100878993The chick from the cranberries drowned after drinking too much alcohol. Seemed pretty troubled to me
>kills himself in the same way as detailed in a song written 10 years priorhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=zGsYK3xSkio
Any musician death that involves overdosing on drugs or taking their own life is not a tragic. Jim Croce’s is tragic though.
>>100875519nobody gives a fucking shit about that faggot tranny
>>100878372I don't know if I'd have the balls to play knowing It'll get me killed.
>>100878986>>100879012Lynn Strait died in a car crash
>>100875519The reason he died was because his managers wanted him to insurance fraud. Also one of his managers was a woman who was playing with his wee wee. She convinced him to insurance fraud by ODing so they could make money. She left him there to OD and so did everyone else involved with it. The two little kids got blamed for it even though they tried to help him and got kicked out. So sad how he was abused for money by the music industry. You can read all the details in his moms lawsuit. The worst part is the music industry does stuff like this everyday. They only care about money and he was a cash cow they were milking. The real tragedy is he had talent. They make as much money with some random clone nobody as they did with lil peep. The manager lady probably still plays with wee wees.

>>100875637I will kill Paul Simon
>>100878760I agree with Ian Curtis, people still don't understand the lyrics. It's always about depression, his epilepsy, or something oversimplified. Even the biopic around him was totally fiction, he never physically cheated on his wife or was this sorrowful guy on the outside, he was a normal person for the most part that fucked around with his friends. It's a shame

Has to be Blind Willie Johnson. House burned down and he had nowhere else to go, so he lived in the ruins for 2 months until he caught malaria and died. Also got turned away from several hospitals because he was black.
>>100881025You are stupid enough to put your life at serious risk by overdosing on narcotics to commit fraud as part of a scam in collusion with your coworkers and I am supposed to feel sorry for you why? Stupid games stupid prizes.
>>100884527>because he was blackyeah totally not because he was a senile old lunatic that smelled like piss and smoke because he was living in a burned down house, they was just keeping down the poor lil ol black man
>>100884729i mean the guy was obviously physically and mentally unwell and it's the hospital's job to help with that and they just didn't
>>100884754>it's the hospital's jobwrong.
>>100884783yes it is the hospital's job to help people that are sick you fucking idiot
>>100884840it isn't the hospital's job to take care of every homeless retard that wanders through the doors. There's a reason most hospitals aren't permanent homeless shelters, retard.
>>100884729>a man with mental illness and poor living conditions just deserves to die... wtf is wrong with you?
>>100881727falling on a lamp is a very painful experience
>>100884881>a nurse that is working 60 hours a week needs to toughen up and take care of every homeless lunatic that wanders through the doors because Bernie said sowtf is wrong with you

>>100884956no they're rational and the reason the United States doesn't look like Brazil, which it would if even half of your idealist bullshit was ever realized.
>>100884914ah yes so it's better to just let him die. even if they aren't musically talented like Blind Willie, they're still human beings that just got dealt a bad hand.
>>100884982you act like like it's a choice of just doing or not doing something. Why don't we just cure all the cancer kids? There's a limited number of doctors and nurses in this country, they're not your slaves to work 24/7 taking care of every problem. There need to be lines drawn so quality health care is available for some instead of garbage health care available for all.

>>100882208yeah, Control is definitely more informed by what is perceived as his legacy rather than an objective reality. His portrayal in 24 Hour Party People is much more true to fact
>>100888243anything besides alcohol and weed (and even those are borderline/prone to abuse) is idiotic. how many supremely talented artists have we lost to drugs over the years? i don't get why anyone bothers with them.

>>100889787Alcohol is for loser assholes.
>>100880093Actually millions do bro. Don't be so angry
>>100890039ie. Americans.
>>100889787If drugs were legal in almost every country just like alcohol this histogram would be much more correct
I wish I was that strung out right now.
>>100890145Americans are all on some form of drug, it's why they're all so fucking mad.
>>100889787>Meth>Harm to order>That lowYou probably shouldn't post this graph again
>>100889787>>100890039i can’t stop drinking bros i’ve been heavily addicted since i was 16 and it’s ruined my life i’m 21 now
>>100887553Cross the jews and you lose.
>>100890205Don't do what mark lanegan didHeroin is only a temporary respite.
>>100889787alcohol can and does ruin lives but the vast majority of people who use it do so responsibly. there's no meth or heroin equivalent to having a glass of wine with dinner or a couple of beers at a cookout
>>100890205You probably need to exercise some demons. Some people are naturally addicts, but a lot of addicts are trying to cope with something. The guilt of killing my brother drove me to meth, a combination of therapy and 12 step programs helped me get sober but only after I had decided to take my problems head on and realizing I was powerless over meth. It also helped that I was on the verge of homelessmess and at rock bottom. The wound never really heals but you should get real with yourself about why you drink.
>>100890366https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEMXwEaEZuI
>>100890536>They'll kick you then kike you
>>100890039and that's what i am, i think. not that sure about the asshole part tho.
In all honesty, I love seeing artists sacrificing themselves for their art. It's like their suffering just fuels their artwork and everything gets real. And there's nothing cooler than to create something awesome, leave a legacy and die as a legend. If I was a talented artist I'd do all the drugs on earth and die young to be always remembered
>>100890602none of these people "sacrificed themselves for their art." they died stupidly and unnecessarily by being dumbass druggies.
>>100890587You will be if you don't give it up, like all of them.
>>100875446hes fine
>>100890643that's true. that's why i don't drink very often and try to not slip into bad habits.
I cry when i think of Syd Barrett and what could have been. Really sad how he ended up. In some ways, it would have been kinder if he'd just died young. Fuck lsd and everybody who glorifies that poison.
Elvisdying on the toilet would suck
>>100887553I'm still impressed that for all the accolades you hear about him, he only did like 4 world tours or something like that, very small footprint for someone that big
>>100881807I think it was his ex-wife taking him back to court to force him to squeeze evermore Soundgardenbucks out of fans that did him in.
>>100883755>>100883834>>100883852sister of the fiancee pooing-footage when?
>>100884442Yeah, history is good to know. Brings perspective.
>>100884527BWJ is my all-time favorite male singer. What a voice.
Peter GreenIt's especially sad when you consider the corny shitfest Fleetwood Mac became after he went nuts. Literally the coolest music ever to derivate momrock for fat white suburban housewives and low iq roasties who think they're witches.
>>100881403How does ellefeson seem so normal even after doing all the drugs he did?
>>100890695we need a thread on acid casualties. Syd BarrettPeter GreenDanny KirwanBrian Wilson are the most famous ones. I think a lot of 90s alt-rock guys got fucked in the head from LSD too (Billy Corgan), but it was heroin that mostly did them in.
>>100888675acid is far less toxic to the brain than alcohol.
>>100890720If he pushed that turd through before expiring, he would have died with immense satisfaction and relief. Never have gotten a firm answer on Elvis's deathturd's status.
>>100875446Ian Curtis for sure
>>100890205lmao you have a long way to go. Might aswell end it now
>>100890428>but the vast majority of people who use it do so responsibly
>>100882221To be fair he has had his teeth fixed, but ye his body is fucked from being drunk for 40 straight years.Still made some of the best music of the 80s though
>>100890428i drink irresponsibility
>>100887553You forget that the media is still beating the dead horse.Not too long ago that Netflix doc aired and a bunch of radio stations stopped playing his music.Jackson was odd as fuck but his Music was brilliant.
Mia Zapata, easilyRaped and murdered by a homeless man
>>100890921I mean he only released like 6 albums
>>100892166Damn
>>100891578You don't really hear about acid casualities anymore. I suppose thats a good thing, but it seems like musicians are increasingly scared of taking risks and venturing into the unknown, and this is apparent in the generally mediocre state of current music.

>>100880751I never knew bix was a pedo wtf bix!On April 22, 1921, a month after he turned 18, Beiderbecke was arrested by two Davenport police officers on an accusation that he had taken a five-year-old girl named Sarah Ivens into a neighbor's garage and committed a lewd and lascivious act with her—a statutory felony in Iowa

>>100875507Not so much. He died of a heart attack in his own bed. Bipolar makes you lose gray matter in your brain plus he was a late-stage alcoholic. It's quite surprising he lived to that age.
>>100875446Euronymous
>>100890428>there's no meth or heroin equivalent to having a glass of wine with dinner or a couple of beers at a cookoutEver heard of adderall or Vyvanse? Painkillers like oxy, vicodin, valium? Alcohol has no medical use except disinfect wounds. Its only legal because its European culture.
>>100877995came to check if anyone poasted about him

>>100890695You're retarded the dude abused that shit
>>100892997Yeah wtf. Seems like this has been brushed under the rug/covered up for some reason (because he's white)....Not cool.
>>100875938Damn..
>>100876111This. Suicide is fucked, lost one of my best friends to it when I was 16. But even I have to admit that Kurt chose the best ending to his story, on his own terms.
>>100888675Acid isn't the problem, it was the culture around it at the time. I actually agree with you for the most part, though I would swap out alcohol with psychs.
>>100889870I feel bad for Nico, her solo stuff, especially Desertshore is top tier, I love her career trajectory from Warhol model to avant garde musician.

He was declared dead in absentia because his body still hasn't been found. No note, no recordings, no answers. I guess he wanted to make the rest of the world suffer with him NME reporters talking about it immediately afterwards:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6TH3B8Z8AI

>>100875507literally who, lol
>>100875446If you want me to be real honest? John Lennon. Fucked up childhood, fucked up adulthood. Tragic ending as he was getting better.
>>100897099He was an outright prick though, he spoke about peace and love but had a terrible temper, abused his wife and kids. Didn't deserve to get shot by some loony though.
>>100897099Read an actual book about him instead of just a fucking reddit post of bullet points
>>100897209>>100897099meant to reply to >>100897160
>>100897225Him having a temper and abusing his family are fact.He deafened one of his sons in one ear.John Lennon was an abuser, don't care if his life was sad.

Was really spiritual and wrote poetry.

> In March 2010, Linkous was about to move into a spare bedroom in the Knoxville home of bandmate Scott Minor; Linkous was apparently in the process of breaking up with his wife of 19 years, Teresa.>In the early afternoon of March 6, 2010, Linkous was drinking Kentucky bourbon with Minor and friend DeWitt Burton at their home. After receiving a number of text messages on his BlackBerry that left him distraught, he told Minor and Burton, "It's not good." Linkous quietly retrieved his ITM Arms rifle from an upstairs room, then told his two friends that he was going for a walk and exited through a back door. At about 1:15pm, a witness saw him sit down in the alley near Irwin Street, aim the rifle at his own heart, and pull the trigger. Linkous was declared dead at the scene>Teresa died from an asthma attack 6 years later

Euronymouse. He got stabbed 17 times by Varg at 2am
I often think about how much it would suck to be a musician and die from ALS; or, more to the point, feel your ability to play gradually decline. Must be horrifying. There's this metal shredder, Jason Becker, who was diagnosed with it at age 20. He's still alive, but in full Stephen Hawking mode.

Definitely Kristy MacColl>In 2000, following her participation in the presentation of a radio programme for the BBC in Cuba,[11] MacColl took a holiday in Cozumel, Mexico, with her sons and her boyfriend, musician James Knight. On 18 December 2000, she and her sons went diving at the Chankanaab reef, part of the National Marine Park of Cozumel, in a designated diving area that watercraft were restricted from entering. With the group was a local veteran divemaster, Iván Díaz. As the group was surfacing from a dive, a powerboat moving at high speed entered the restricted area. MacColl saw the boat coming before her sons did. Louis, age 13 at the time, was not in its path, but Jamie, age 15, was. She was able to push him out of the way (he sustained minor head and rib injuries), but she was struck by the boat which ran over her. MacColl suffered severe chest injuries and died instantly.
>>100875921>>100888677>her
>>100879635>and don’t feel anythingCommon misunderstanding from people who have not used heroin. When you take a large dose via iv, occasionally your chest and face will experience overwhelming pins and needles feeling. It is NOT-pleasant and extremely intense. Opiate ODers absolutely feel discomfort before they go.

Yegor LetovJust look it up for yourself, his story is nuts. KGB imprisoned him for being an artist. Abused drugs for years, died of heart failure at 43.
>>100900181no but a fistfight in a crowded airport is. And Kurt was famous enough that people would've recognized him and word would spread.
>>100879155I think she posted a Facebook videos that went viral and it just her crying. Its pretty fucked up

i still think about how this dude stabbed himself in his own heart 6 times. probably how i would commit suicide as well.
>>100904669wait nevermind it was 2 times but still dramatic as fuck
>>100889870Nico actually liked the flutes, and you forgot about Desertshore and the End as well, John Cale liked her personally and musical, hear him speak about her and he seemed amazed by her and her music
>>100875637Winner>>100875513Yeah the fact edgy people don't act like his sad life and depression is cool says it all.
>>100887898I've always thought it was sad but I've never thought of it like that. Poor bastard. Imagine starting a band, then leaving because you're too mentally unwell and then the band becomes one of the biggest and acclaimed of all time while you rot in a flat by yourself.
>>100875920what i don't get is that Vic was friends with everyone, he was friends with Michael Stipe and Billy Bob Thornton, are you gonna tell me none of them motherfuckers had a million dollars to give him just as a gift? he was a god tier artist but the guy was paralyzed and couldn't do shit, what a bunch of selfish pricks
>>100893180Yeah by all accounts he was a real cunt but a horrible and sad way to go stabbed so many times and by a friend as well. Also definitely posed no threat to Varg and was just trying to escape with his life.
>>100898251>Kristy MacCollWhy didn't they just go back under the water??
