RIP, very sad

[Birds in Hell]

There's nothing wrong with remembering the good things.

Of course there isn't and I don't see any suggestion otherwise.

It goes without saying that it's very sad that he died, particularly for those that knew and worked with him.

That said, I don't think it's surprising on a music board that something like this prompts people to chip in with what they thought of his work. It's not like anyone's taking obvious glee in running the guy down or posting anything in exceptionally poor taste.

[Kaius]

Yeah. Enough with the name calling. It's not going to bring Scott back.

[Simple Torture]

People on this message board can be so fucking weird sometimes. There's a tremendous tragedy, like a mass shooting, and almost everyone's comfortable with making a few snarky comments and dark jokes in order to lighten the mood. But express an honest opinion about someone's music after they die, and you're a fucking asshole.

I still love everyone here, though.

[McParadigm]

Purple and Tiny Music are two of my absolute favorite albums of the 90s. Great, brilliant records.

And I would have told you that even if he hadn't died at 48, McP.

I wasn't remotely saying that your appreciation is sudden and/or mortality-based.

Also, of the "generic 90s rock bands"...of which STP is definitely one...I like them more than most (which is still not a huge compliment). I actually like them more than Nirvana, whose first two studio records bore me to tears.

[Revelator]

To this day Still Remains is one of my favorite songs ever.

[bart]

Yeah. Enough with the name calling. It's not going to bring Scott back.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT

I try not to get into internet fights, but imagine walking into a room where a bunch of people are genuinely mourning the loss of a person who had an impact on their lives just so you could say, "Never cared for him. Not a fan." Some of you are tremendous Fuckwits.

Yeah! RM fans of STP equate to Scotts family or something! Rabble rabble rabble! !

[bada]

Just to be clear no one is calling anyone a fucking asshole. Some people are being called Fuckwits. Different.

Actually, if I could go back in time, this is exactly the speech I would've made at my dads funeral.

[BurtReynolds]

He was in ISIS

Guys is McP the most brilliant comedian of our generation? I'm thinking yes.

he drinks scotch, right?

[bada]

At some point he didn't be then said 'yes, what the hell?'.

Can't wait to read the Foo Fighters thread when Dave dies.

I believe in the freedom song. Doesn't matter what you do to me.

[swan]

A lot of STP's work has aged much better than their contemporaries' albums from that time period, imo

Tiny Music was always one of the under-the-radar masterworks of the mid-90's to me

[E.H. Ruddock]

Can't wait to read the Foo Fighters thread when Dave dies.

I'm going to shit all over it
