Could've sworn an alcohol relapse/overdose
| | | THE CLOT WILL GO TO HIS HEART AND HE WILL DIE
| | | Apparently he doesn't drink anymore
| | | I heard that too.
| | | Yeah read about that
He had a bar built into his home studio, oh the irony
| | | I had a blood clot in my leg once. Rubbed some Jack and 'tussin on it and I was fine. As a matter of fact i can fly now.
| | | ...And he better roll out in a wheelchair on Oct 23rd if necessary. Could care less what BLS does, but if I miss Clutch...
| | | Damn that sucks for him. Glad he's not canceling the rest of the tour, I've got backstage passes to the show they're playing in Providence.
| | | Hope he gets better.
| | | he's so metal - he probably started bleeding and was like "whatever", then realised it wasn't stopping and made a thing of it and started screaming "yeeaahhh!" and flipping the bird to people in his general vicinity.
| | | Oh no I hope he gets well soon, my grandfather had a blood clot almost the length of his leg so it can be rather nasty =/
| | | My grandfather isn't an asshole and he got it. However he did spy on Moscow so then again maybe he was an asshole in the Cold War if you're Russian
| | | sucks. should be fine for the Chicago date, even though I'm really only going for Clutch.
| | | he is quite the penis
| | | Didn't this happen to him before?
| | | "he's so metal - he probably started bleeding and was like "whatever", then realised it wasn't stopping and made a thing of it and started screaming "yeeaahhh!" and flipping the bird to people in his general vicinity."
A clot is internal bleeding you stupid, stupid motherfucker
| | | the guitar squeal levels in north america are drastically lower at the moment.
| | | The world has also gotten a little less metal, hopefully not permanently
| | | This was Ozzy using his dark magic powers to get vengeance on Zakk. Ozzy was the one who fired him, but Ozzy forgets that. Since he is Ozzy and forgets everything.
| | | Sharon did it actually. She's the evil mastermind, you think Ozzy has the wherewithall to do anything these days? She practically has to annunciate his words before he sings (lol 'Ozzy' and 'sing' in same sentence not seperated by the word 'can't')
| | | You'd think he'd learn to change his habits after almost dying the first time.
| | | He was fighting back, but she broke his will in the end as all evil overlords do (the alcohol and drugs didn't help him much either though)
| | | 'A clot is internal bleeding you stupid, stupid motherfucker'
Calling somebody stupid but not being able to explain what a blood clot is LOL
A clot isn't a bleeding at all. It creates a block in your vains which stops the bloodflow. you stupid, stupid :D
| | | he should just tear off his own leg while continuing to play
that's what metal is all about
| | | he should probly quit pointing a fan upwards at himself onstage and putting his foot on it while he's soloing so he could look more "epic" cuz it blows his hair up and shit. first off, thats super cheesy, second off, that's probly what caused his blood clot lol
