    I agree with you.

    RIP
  6. Sad to hear the news, but I can't quite say that I really liked her music. RIP
  7. all the respect i can have for a human being (i don't have it for few persons) .. sincerely i knew her just for what she did outside the music or her drunk performances (such as the last one), so i don't know if she was talented or not .. certainly seeing her name put nearby men and women who made the History and Legend of Rock well gives me bad shivers and turns up my nose
  8. The thing I just can't stand in this situations is the way the media turns whoever singer/musician found dead this way, into legend, as if dying this way was a honorable way to die, or worthy of being remembered.

    People who cause their own death because of years and years of bad habits and vice shouldn't be treated like heroes or victims or music myths, they should be treated like morons.

    There you go Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones. Yeah, they were music icons, but to me they're more like the shame of music history. A bunch of people who couldn't love theirselves enough to realize when it's too much of killing theirselves every day with every drink, with every sniff. Or perhaps a bunch of people who loved theirselves too much....they became so selfish that they couldn't stop their trip to hell just for the thought they could share a lifetime of their talent in the years to come. For them, it was all more about rock star living style than music itself. For me, they're not music heroes, they're music cowards.

    I understand there's more in the life of an artist than one as a fan can only see, but come on! They're artists, they have no difficulties to keep up with everyday needs, unlike less fortunate people who really do.

    Carlos Santana. He was a junkie in the 60's, but did he kill himself out of drinking/LSD abuse? He'd rather share a lifetime of his guitar talent. Metallica. They were really hard into drinking; they'd rather finish the band than finishing themselves. Adam Clayton. He really was into alcohol and pot, but did he give up? He restarted himself and here he is 18 years later making us all happy with his band.

    We all have problems here and there, but it's all about cojones, it's all about having the guts to face whatever is troubling your mind, or at least, not leting the thing kill you.

    May Amy rests in peace. There's always a choice. She just chose not to choose.







  9. AMEN to the wise jc's words. Overcoming difficulties is far more honourable than giving up to them. There's nothing glorious or honourable regarding killing, whether you kill others or yourself.

    +1 especially the last sentence.

    very wise words you said.

    And he married my girlfriend Katy Perry...what a tool

  12. Aha, fair dues m'man, it's just an interesting read about wanting to encourage a greater understanding of addictions etc., whether it's someone like Winehouse (whom Brand considered a dear friend) or the junkie on the street who's not in the public eye but no less important to help. I am entirely oblivious to Brand himself, got to admit, but someone retweeted it on Twitter (Lauren Laverne I think) and I checked it out

    Lol. Heard that before, seems our Katy had quite a few other halves on the go
