OT: The OT Social Bubble Thread

The politics board was a shitshow anyway.
Too much for volunteer moderators to deal with.

The whole point was that it was unmoderated.

It’s fascinating and, of course, sad.

I moved on to American Murderer after that one. That one was truly devastating and infuriating.

I thought they did a great job with American Murderer, despite the extremely bland title. Great job telling the story and it had a satisfying (albeit, awful) conclusion. Answered all the questions.

Some of the recent true crime docs on Netflix stretched out waaay too long.. this one was concise.

I’ve watched a fair bit of true crime stuff and think I have pretty thick skin but that was just brutal and I was rattled when it was done.

Just finished watching it. Crazy stuff

I have legitimately been a member here for more than half my life. That blows my mind.

15 Years? pfffft.

I have underwear older than that.

That is, if I still wore underwear..

when you don’t wear it, it helps it last longer than 15 years!

I just heard that Eddie Van Halen passed away. VH was one of the Bands I grew up with & this is just sad, sad news.

During the Dadrock Playoffs, @Mr. Canucklehead revived my interest in the Legendary Band. Thank you for that.

RIP to one of the finest musicians in history.

Is that smoke OR fog in downtown? My guess is fog

Had some inner demons that he battled which no doubt had an impact on how he treated others (which, let's face it was pretty horrible in the past); but the best thing is that it appeared he was able to defeat those demons. Didn't like the way they (both Halen brothers) dumped Michael Anthony but I could understand Eddie wanting to really connect with his son (by having him play in the band as the bassist).

I think he even patched some things with Hager to a degree not that long ago.

Revolutionized electric guitar playing along with Hendrix...No secret that he was not healthy (he battled esophageal cancer a few years back)...RIP

Hopefully, the Canucks continue to use his guitar riff as their goalscoring song next season.

Today is just not my day, just one of those ah screw it type of issues.

you try and lend a hand, people take it the wrong way. Such is life..

Oh, make no mistake - EVH battled his demons. It had its ugly moments, as many rock stars tend to have. But he got past that and was ultimately more than that.

I was fortunate to see him perform live on several occasions. It's not often you can watch someone live who you confidently feel is the best in the world at what they do - but watching Eddie Van Halen shred that guitar, I felt certain for a fact that there was no one alive who could even come close to his mastery of that instrument.

He (and Van Halen) were and are the soundtrack of my life. Been into them since middle of high school and never stopped. This one really, really hurts. f*** cancer.

 

[Melvin]

I can't believe he was only 65.

 

[rypper]

My uncle is such a Van Halen fan, my cousin is named Halen. He must be taking this hard.

Further to my post about him and Hagar evidently patching things up to a degree....I've recently read about communications the two have had 'shooting the ****' that Eddie wanted to keep secret about less it stir up rumors about 'the band getting back together again'. Both of them knew that would never happen so they kept it quiet their correspondance.

Motto of the story is.....no matter what may or may have happened. Life is too short to get hung up over perceived past sleights (whether real or not). Nice to know they parted on good terms. Something we could all follow 'before it's too late'.

Yeah, it sounds like a lot of axes were buried in the last year - Eddie and Sammy, and Eddie and Mike, too. I'm glad he went into his end with those grudges placed into the past.

Yeah not to use substance abuse as a crutch, but I think that was clearly the root of all of Eddie's problems. Once he got those under control, he was able to be back to his regular self largely. A shame cancer cut short his life.

I just got a notice that The Mighty Ducks is being filmed at the high school here in North Van next week. Maybe I'll see Gordon Bombay! Quack, Quack, Quack.

 

[Fatass]

Canucks (Benning) are depressing me. So took Miss Kitty (Dodge Challenger Hellcat) out for some fun. Went really fast, and got extremely sh**ty gas mileage. I feel better now.
