RIP

RIP pour one out fo my nigga

they are legendary, but no albums on Sputnik? RIP for the dude though

Damn, that's a tragedy. RIP.

sounded like an old blues singer from the 20s, RIP

live hard, and die hard bro.

"due to complications from alcoholism, the death of the 42 year old frontman was expected by his immediate family and best friends"

What the fuck? Am I the only one who thinks that is just... fucked?

happens a lot

"due to complications from alcoholism, the death of the 42 year old frontman was expected by his immediate family and best friends

What the fuck? Am I the only one who thinks that is just... fucked?"

Everyone in some sense should anticipate their own demise as well as the demise of those they hold dear. It is only natural to be conscious of death's presence.

RIP I hope he died without regret

RIP

If he was an alcoholic, I guarantee he died with regret dude. What a stupid comment.

RIP though. another sad ending.

@Eclecticist: I am saying it's fucked up that his family and friends were anticipating his death because he was an alcoholic.

No, his death was expected because he'd been in hospital for months, clearly there were serious complications and the doctors had probably told them to expect it.

RIP. I knew it was coming but still sad.

dam

RIP

terrible

RIP

aw fuck
RIP

"Legendary punk band from Miami."

Apperantly not legendary enough.

And always sad to hear this
RIP

I did not enjoy this guys music. But I guess it's sad. I didn't know the guy so oh well.

"This are really sad news for the punk community. "


lmfao

RIP

Apperantly not legendary enough.


Sputnik is not the be-all and end-all of punk so shut up.
This are indeed sad news for the punk community. Bobby was one of the best vocalists in the history of punk.

Ok dad

Sputnik is not the be-all and end-all of punk so shut up.

rip

Are you for real?

Yes.

If this band is so legendary then why does it not have an album in the database, at the very least?


They are not ·"so legendary" they were an extremely obscure punk group from the 80's and 90's that
became legendary inside the underground punk sub-culture because of their euphoric performances and
traditional songwriting. Ask a punk fan from Florida about LOAD and he will tell you a 10 page-long
story.

Obviously the site shouldn't be flooded with uber obscure band that like 3 people have heard of, but
the relevant stuff should be here, no?

Yes, I was surprised to see that LOAD wa not in the database. I completely agree.

Specially for a site that places strong emphasis on Non-mainstream acts(if these guys weren't
mainstream, i assume they weren't.)

Sputnik doesn't places emphasis on non-mainstream bands/artists. That is up to the users. There are
lots of obscure artists on sputnik? Yes. But that doesn't means the site is centered around them.
Just look at the features. If this site focused on non-mainstream bands I suppose Anberlin,
Sylosys, and Wintersun shouldn't be there. Right? I'm not going to keep debating (though), RIP.

Well before i joined this site someone informed that this placed put a stronger emphasis on more obscure-ish acts(than other websites, at least), so that's why i came here.

Of course i'm not saying they shouldn't pay attention to mainstream acts, or that they don't.

"So legendary" was a bad choice of words, true.

But anyway yeah, no point in debating

Sputnik is pretty much metal / rock / alt & indie centered. There's some hip-hop as well but metal & indie are given major emphasis while Jazz, psych / folk are more than often forgotten. Talking about punk.. Where's Swankers, Red Kross, Broken Bones, D.O.A., Black Uniforms, The Fall, No Talk, Sluggo, The Discocks, Misery?. I know what I'm talking about when I say sputnik is not the be-all-end-all of Punk. Cheers :]

"Sputnik is pretty much metal / rock / alt & indie centered. There's some hip-hop as well but metal & indie are given major emphasis while Jazz, psych / folk are more than often forgotten."

lol only some hip-hop and metal? Really

"This are really sad news"

this are really bad grammar

I feel like sputnik's mostly metal/prog/indie/punk centered

Fuck hip hop.

this are really bad grammar


I'm not American, thanks for pointing that out.

rip and all but no one knows who this band is.

Stop complaining about the popularity of LOAD. As I said before - they were an underground punk band; they never had any press coverage or were promoted so it makes sense no one on any music-reviews site rates them much.

Gia since you love them so much, please stop being a hipster and share some of their material with the rest of us. Since literally nobody else seems to know who this guy was.

that's like the perfect name for a gay man

rip you fucking alcoholic

can't believe so many people are being assholes over a few mistakes lol

RIP to the dude, legendary or not

How many times do I have to repeat? My name is fucking "Gian," not "Gia."

please stop being a hipster and share some of their material with the rest of us. Since literally nobody else seems to know who this guy was.


I'm not a hipster, from what I've heard a "hipster" is someone who refuses to conform and evades mainstream things in order to feel comfortable with himself.

Maybe you shouldn't have capitalised the 'n' in your name if you wanted to get called Gian. Bit of a bizarre thing to have a shit over.

"This are really sad news"

No smiley face? :[

Rest in Peace

"These are really sad news for the punk community."

Should be changed to "This is really sad news for the punk community."

I have a feeling that English is not your first language.

Gia you're a fuck

gian learn to quote

Anyone else find the news story before this fitting?

I can't believe how many petty arguments are being started over this thread.

I don't know who the guy was either, but I'm sure the band did have a steady following at one point in time.

Regardless, RIP

No idea who this guy was, but I'm sure he made some kind of impact to the lives of people.

RIP.
