fitear1590 2414 Posted July 24, 2010 Okay, how many bassists have died, just in this past year? This would be at least the third! I've never heard of so many young people just keeling over one day, in all the western bands I listen to. What the fucking fuck is going on? Also, it always makes me uncomfortable how the people blogging deal with these situations. It's always "we made you fans worry. We're so sorry. Please forgive us that he died!" I don't know... It's strange to me how unemotional they can be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Bacon 106 Posted July 24, 2010 Shit sucks, he was pretty good :/// Hope they'll still do that reunite thing though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please forgive us that he died!" I don't know... It's strange to me how unemotional they can be. It could be the sincerity or the sorrow is lost in translation; it could be an intrinsic need to be polite. And who knows, exactly, what to say or how to address fans when someone they're close to dies? I mean, we say "I'm sorry" too. Finding the words, especially a day after a death, is tricky.It doesn't neccessarily mean they're not emotional, though. Hell, some of the blogs about Daisuke's death were wholly depressing.

That's true. I guess I was only really referring to these initial "announcements" being so clinical.The personal blogs that come afterward are more emotional.

bakteeri 7 Posted July 24, 2010 Never listened to his bands, but shit sucks. Many known musicians died lately. But what can you say, it's just life. And I think it's just a custom in Japan how to announce these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prism 8 Posted July 24, 2010 It could do. If Jasmine You counts. Don't remember if that was 2010 or not, but it wasn't THAT long ago either. EDIT: Eh, August last year. Thought it was closer than that. Then again it didn't leave much of an impression on me in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saishuu 3220 Posted July 24, 2010 Didn't that guy from Gakidou or whatever the band name is die earlier this year? It caused a pretty big commotion too somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
