"Hell must be a pretty cool place cause no one wants me to go there" Al Capone....never said i wanted into heaven if its full of chrstians ill pass.

 

I refuse to talk to my neighbors after their kid got held hostage by the neighbors across the street...long story.

 

Oh stop defending this guy.

 

No, dumbass syndrome is calling wrestling fake in 2002. Me, im just having an opinion. And I didnt compare him to hitler, i was just saying ppl were happy when he died. No where did i say, DP is hitler.

 

And for all i know he WAS a cool guy, I just dont like the music...and i dont like this whole condolance shit...the guys family is gonna me rich...watch me dance.

 

And now ill just not say anything else about since you all have hardons about the guy and death being this horible thing....we all die...when the young die, its tragic when the old die, its their time...where did this mentality come from. this guy died at 30...well hes not young, hes not old...where does that leave him.

 

No more music from a bad band, good.

A human has to die=bad.

 

Atleast my name doesnt have a dead stable in it composed of guys who ruined wrestling.(cheap shot, but you called me ignorant for having an opinion)

 

And have you ever met Eminem, hes a total dick.

 

TRUE STORY, im from mi, were in someplace in detroit area, i was to stoned to care where, we got to a 7-11, and keep in mind this is pre fame eminem, but we knew him from local music. The guy at the counter did something, i dont know what, but hes literally screaming at the guy, top of his lungs, screaming "Fuck you you arabic motherfucker", and he wont shut up and the guy behind the counter is just scared shitless...and i have to wonder what did the 7-11 clerk do to warrant a screaming fit at...he works at 7-11, leave the guy alone. He just keeps going...for like the whole time were in the store, maybe 2 -5 minutes, we get behind him, he shuts up and leaves...what a dick. And that whole attempted rape case against him got dropped real quick after he got signed by dre....cousre not many ppl know about that. So theres a real role model.

 

But yes he IS a talent rapper, just not a good human being.

 

Stan was fake so i wouldt call that real life.

Lets see, im currently, poor, no real job aspects, probably gonna have to move back home, and gonna be unemployed at the end of the month, and life can take what away from me again? Death means my art is worth more...watch me dance.

So in other words, Cynicalprofit is a big fucking loser, and after he kicks the bucket, we can all brag "I used to post to the same MB as him, in fact I printed out one of his posts and its on eBay right now for $1,000,000.00"

Eminem rules compared to your James Brown fetish.

 

Just because he's famous doesn't mean he has to be nice.

Damn. I still can't believe it. The Drowning Pool CD is a good listen, and I do send out my condolences to the families involved. Seriously, I don't know what boggles my mind more, a talented young man, dead at 30, or some asshole flaming him on a wrestling message board.

 

Seriously, Cynicalprofit, calm-fucking-down. You may not like his lusic, be don't bash the guy after he dies. That's just wrong, and ignorant. I didn't like Aliyah or Brown Eye Lopez, but I didn't come here and say "BROWN EYE IS DEAD LOL!!!! SHE'S A SATANIST" I kept my mouth shut, and let who was affected, grieve. Allow the fans of DP to do that, and leave your arrogant, self-centered opinions to yourself, asshole.

As a person who enjoyed listening to Drowning Pool as a tension relieving style of music, let me just say that I'm sad to hear about Dave William's passing. I"m not going to try and say that Drowning Pool's music is genre defining or contributes to society, but I definitely enjoy listening to it on a fairly regular basis. May Williams be peaceful in whatever the afterlife brings him.

Me personally, I like Drowning Pools CD, but it wasn't anything really spectacular. I really hate that this man died, but feel that nobody doing what they wanted to do in life should be villified like Cynical is doing here.

 

If you didn't like the guy, then that's you, but at least let those who want to mourn him do so without listening to your asshole remarks.

Maybe he had a heart condition and didn't know about it, in the same fashion as Darryl Kile?

 

Anyway, it's too bad he had to die. I wasn't their biggest fan, but I didn't hate their music.

It's always sad to see someone die young. I didn't really care for their music, but I'm not rejoicing over a man's death. May he rest in peace.

Ooooh, I can't wait until someone I don't like dies, so I can rip on him with glee!

Kinda sad, the immaturity I see out of some people (cynicalprofit) here.

 

While I didn't like their music, I didn't hate it either. I feel sorry for the people he left behind.

 

Even if I don't know someone, or could care less..I still feel some sympathy. As a person who's lost a few people himself, it's not fun. Screaming "whoo, they're dead!" about someone on a MESSAGE BOARD is just asking to get flamed, banned, or worse.

 

Grow up.

Brown Eye Lopez

 

It's Left Eye, not Brown Eye.

 

Anyway, as for the dude from Drowning Pool, I don't give 2 shits about metal or Rock in general, but it's sad that he died like that. Drugs or not.

Whoa Whoa WHOOOOA now

 

Don't even compare that piece of trailer trash Eminem to the Hardest working man in show business James mothafucking Brown. Feminem isn't even close to the level of James Brown and will be gunned down before he can even think about being on the same level. Also James Brown would beat the holy shit out of Eminem if that little punk ass kid tried any of his stupid shit.

 

I'm not sure who Brown Eye Lopez is, but if it's who i think it is her death didn't bother me at all. Wouldn't say i was happy she died, but i wasn't "sad" at all. She was nothing but ignorant ghetto trash and i had no problem with her death. Oh i'm sure this will get me a "fuk u racist asshole" comment. Well if anyone is thinking that then fuck off you over sensitive jackoff. Ghetto trash isn't racist it's the same as saying a white guy is trailer trash.

 

By the way Satanist's aren't about worshipping Satan they just don't believe that a magical being called God lives in the sky and controls people. Satanist's aren't "super anti god" and they don't hate the people who happen to believe in magical sky fairys. Just making sure that got cleared up.

 

 

Oh yeah..."It's always sad when another human dies" blah blah

he was the lead singer...

 

usually when the lead singer has left the band or died, the band usually goes bye bye to the unknown.

 

 

do we expect some sort of special programing towards Drowning Pool on MTV/Muchmusic/VH1...hopefully not

This story gives another possible cause of death.

 

"DROWNING POOL Singer Found Dead - Aug. 14, 2002

 

DROWNING POOL singer Dave Williams was found dead on the band's tour bus Wednesday afternoon (August 14th), according to a spokesperson for the group. He was 30 years old.

 

The Dallas quartet was on tour with Ozzfest when Williams' body was discovered. Ozzfest had played the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, on Tuesday.

 

Although presently unconfirmed, sources close to the band believe that Williams may have died from complications resulting after the consumption of excessive amounts of alcohol.

 

Williams was renowned for being a heavy sleeper, and it is believed that he died in his sleep, possibly choking on his own vomit.

 

An official cause of death has yet to be determined.

 

"[Williams] was the sweetest man you'll ever come across in your life," DISTURBED singer David Draiman told MTV Wednesday. "[He] didn't have a bad bone in his body, just very kind-hearted, very good-natured, very genuine, always trying to make everyone around him smile. [He was] always trying to bring some life to the party with his own little dramatic flair.

 

"Everyone loved him," Draiman continued. "I don't know a single person that has ever met Dave Williams and not just instantly fallen in love with him. He could charm anyone to death. He was a very special guy. It's shocking."

 

Meanwhile, ANTHRAX posted the following message via their official web site: "Dave was a sweetheart. Dave was really funny. Dave loved metal. Dave was one hell of a nice guy. That's rare. We'll miss ya Dave. Our hearts go out to Dave's family and friends."

 

MACHINE HEAD issued the following statement: "MACHINE HEAD would like to extend our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and fans of Dave Williams. Dave was a friend to us all, one of those guys that you couldn't help but like... he was as nice as they come, and had nothing but respect for anyone and everyone that he met. He will be sorely missed."

 

SKID ROW posted the following: "Our condolences go out to the family, friends and crew of Dave Williams, lead singer of DROWNING POOL. He was a great guy and an amazing talent, he will be missed by all that knew him."

 

CHIMAIRA frontman Mark Hunter commented on Williams' passing: "Dave's lyrics for 'Tear Away' couldn't have been farther from the truth. The little time we got to spend with Dave was very memorable. It is not often a band of that size has the time, or the inclination to mingle with smaller bands like us, but Dave went out of his way to make sure we were not only taken care of, but he spent his down time hanging out with us. Dave was one of the coolest and friendliest bright stars we have ever encountered. He will be missed and never forgotten. Our hearts go out to Dave's family and the rest of the DROWNING POOL camp."

 

SOIL bassist Tim King posted the following: "We just got the news that our friend Dave from the band DROWNING POOL died today. We are in total shock. I just can't believe it. Just a few days ago Dave was up on stage singing 'Halo' with us and we were hanging out together after the Ozzfest shows. Ryan even sang 'Bodies' with DP last night. Tears are filling up in my eyes as I write this. Dave was one of the coolest and most down to earth guys you could ever meet. He was a true friend. We love ya bro!! You will always be in our thoughts and hearts."

Sorry, Papacita. I'm not a big TCL fan, so I don't know their names. What was it? Left Eye? That's cool.

 

I hope that it wasn't drugs or alcohol, because that'll put a damper on people's opinions of rock music.

For a while I was with you but I thought about it for a minute and realized...

 

The guy is dead. Do you think he gives a shit?

 

None of the people saying this things are going to fly to this guy's funeral and mock the guy in the casket screaming "AHAHAHAHAAH NUMETAL GARBAGE SUX!" That has actual repercussions and it effects people. People posting on a message board that they're not sorry he died is not stepping over the line because they're being truthful AND it has no effect on anything.

I thought Bon Scott froze to death because he was sleeping in his car while too drunk to drive ... am I wrong? I hope not, it's the excuse I use to drink and drive all the time.

 

 

Just kidding.

and John Bonham choked on his vomit too I believe.

 

 

But really, when someone dies, do you think anyone has comments to the press along the lines "Thank God that fucking asshole croaked."
