Fred Durst and Suicide

Recommended Posts

Guest Choken One

According to my Local Rock Radio Show 97.3

 

Fred Durst whom is on the Summer Sanitarium Tour yesterday or recently after being BOOED off stage and garbage thrown at them at the Chicago Show stormed off the stage and went on a tirade about Homosexuals.

 

Later that night...Durst said in a Interview "Maybe I ought just kill myself like Kurt Cobain".

 

What are YOUR thoughts on Durst making reference to Cobain only being popular because he commited suicide and durst himself.

Durst is right about two things, Cobain is only a legend today due to his death. I honestly thought that Pearl Jam was a better band anyway.

 

The second thing is that yes durst should kill himslef to rid us of his presence.

Is there some context to that quote that you're leaving out? I don't see how "Maybe I ought just kill myself like Kurt Cobain" instantly equates to "He was only popular cuz he's dead".

 

I mean, I agree - I'm a firm believer that if Cobain was alive today, no one would care - but isn't it possible that Durst only used Cobain as an example of someone that killed themself, and not to make any sort of point about how his death contributed to his popularity?

If Cobain hadn't killed himself Nirvana would have faded away just like every other alternative band from that era...half of whom's names I can't even bother to remember anymore.

 

You would have to be a fool to believe that Cobain would be anywhere in the same ballpark of popular today if he were still around.

Are you crazy? That wouldn't rid us of anything! Think what MTV and radio would do if Fred Durst did kill himself! He would go over night from being an asshole everyone hates and career on the way down to being a man everyone loves, respected and MTV would even give him full credit for the whole rock/rap fab.

 

No reason to die Mr. Durst. Just go away!

I agree. Durst should kill himself.

Yeah, I think he should end his misery...and ours.

 

This guy's a phony, attention whore, compulsive liar, and crybaby all the same time.

maybe Fred Durst should be caught in a humiliating scandal, like something really bad (use your imaginations)

and he is automatically seen as horrible by everyone

Then lie about banging a bunch of pop stars he's never touched

well I was thinking something along the lines of R. Kelly's scandal, but that only made ignition seem more realistic in a horrifying sort of way

We should be so lucky if Fred blew his face off. Sure, it would be the ultimate attention grabber, but if he did do it, he wouldn't be around the next day to say something stupid as to why he blew his face off. Suicide notes just aren't the same as a ridiculous, lying-through-your-teeth statement that we all love.

 

Oh, and Soundgarden > Pearl jam.

Knowing Durst's luck, he'd blotch the suicide attempt and end up like Arseface from the Preacher comic and become even more of a famous musician, not to mention poster boy for overcoming adversity....

Fred Durst's potential death will be met with much more apathy and celebration than Kurt Cobain's. When I say celebration, I don't mean celebration of his life, I mean celebration that he's dead.

As far as Nirvana or Pearl Jam being better or worse or whatever, this is the way I rank the grunge bands.

 

Nirvana > Alice In Chains > Soundgarden > Pearl Jam > Stone Temple Pilots

See, at least Kurdt had actual issues. Heroin addiction, bi-polar disorder... If Durst killed himself, he would look far worse than Cobain EVER did.

 

Of course, I know he doesn't MEAN it. Not even Fred Durst is that stupid, right?

No he didn't mean it...Acording to the Radio Report Fred was in a jokingly manner...

I love the music folder! In the WWE folder I get yelled at all the time for wishing injuries on guys. In the music folder it seems to be a okay to wish death on people!

 

Awesome!

I feared that this was going to be something about Fred and Suicidal Tendencies.

See, it's reasons like this that heavy metal needs to have more gangwars and such, like rap.

 

"Fred Durst gunned down by Suicidal Tendencies! 'Nothing personal - I just wanted the fucker to shut up' says Mike Muir."

 

Then the SOD can go on a Nu-Metaller hunt...

Yeah, everybody (well, MTV) says Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit "made" rap-rock but Anthrax had more to do with the maturation of the style than anyone (except possibly Rage Against the Machine). Not coincidentally those are the only bands who were any good at it.

I don't think even Limp Bizkit fans will claim that anymore...now they moved over to Linkin Park.

 

I still can't decide whose worse...

 

LB had Wes...so there's the breaker.

I saw STP 3 years ago and they were AWESOME. My only beef was that they only played for about 45 minutes and then BAM!- they were done. Weiland was on fire. He is the KING of the funky jig. He inherited that title when Michael Hutchence died.
