Chiodos Singer Attempted O.D.

2008-07-21 by Athom EMERITUS | 42 Comments
Chiodos singer Craig Owens, long rumored to have addiction problems, is recovering from an attempted drug overdose. The news was made in a post to his blog but then removed promptly after originally being posted earlier this morning(google cache never forgets). The original post read as followed
Quote:
so, after an attempted overdose early yesterday morning, i found myself awake in the emergency room around 8 - 12 hours later.
however, don’t worry about me, i’m fine. i am being checked into a mental clinic beginning tomorrow at 8 am.
i’d like to apologize to everyone at Power Chord Academy, for me not being able to make it to speak to all of the kids tomorrow in Chicago. i promise to make it up, the best that i can and hopefully will be able to reschedule the entire event.
wish me luck, and let’s hope that i learn from this, and that i am able get out very soon.
craig.

I find it kinda... strange. It's like "Oh yeah, btw, I almost overdosed my self on purpose, but don't worry kids, I'll be up and running again soon to act as your rolemodel at some music academy"...

I'm expecting at least one "no wonder he wants to kill himself" (attempted) joke here.
As horrible as he is, no one deserves to die.

no one should be surprised if you've seen him live.
in phx he started choking up on stage describing girls in his life.
mind you he also sounded completely coked out.

Yikes hope he gets this fixed. I'm in the minority here but I find him to be an incredibly talented individual and would hate to see drugs ruin his musical career or his life.

This is honestly the weirdest thing ever. I have been listening to them all day, and just came onto here to look up their ratings too. NO JOKE!

Chiodos just need a new singer, and I think this is their chance.

I would not like chiodos is craig owens left, they are a collective whole. Also cinematic sunrise is amazing.

Not really...

I haven't heard their new record, but that first mainstream one is horrible, and I think the band would be decent of Craig left.

Chiodos is good live though.

after some of things he was coming out with in an article/interview thing i read a few weeks back, this doesn't surprise me. can't say i'm a fan, but regardless, i hope he sorts himself out.

Anyone who kills themself is a moron and a coward. If you know someone who has succumbed to grief so horrible that they didn't get it fixed and you are offended, I whole-heartedly suggest you go suck balls.

/they're solid live. Saw them at GIAN, and with it being in arena their sound was immense.
Shame for the guy, I feel sorry for his band, and, obviously, his friends and family.

i feel sorry for him. he failed to successfully OD. that's not gonna help his self-esteem.

They'd be done if he left. Not like they'd quite but he's the face of that band. It would be better than From First to Last's story but they would loose way too many fans to recover.

I talked to a guy from Michigan that used to hang out with Chiodos before they were big and he saw Craig shoot up with heroin on multiple occasions.

first of all, craig has an amazing voice, and a lot of talent. everysingle person has their problems and craig has struggled with drugs for a while. no one needs to be so low life on here to talk crap about someone they do not even know. and especially to say that they deserve to die. because he is deff. someone who doesn't, no one does. he has a lot going for him and so much talent too.
