I'm not super savvy on the members of the band, but didn't he get kicked out because of his drug problem?


hmm.

Although I haven't spoken to anyone from the band or camp yet, I'd be willing to say it wasn't drugs. I can't even remember JJ ever drinking a beer, let alone hopped up on enough drugs to kill him. Again, I haven't spoken with anyone yet, but I'll update when I hear from someone.

I too, got the reference. SLC Punk is a classic. Still no word from anyone, so they may be keeping it on the hush. I very well could be wrong in my assumption.

R.I.P. though, I had a mushroomhead phase, much like everyone else born in the 90s
