Very sad to see this this morning; he was only 52. I never heard another vocalist that could consistently make me look up while listening and think "how the hell can he do that?". | ||

Stuff sucks. I hope it wasn't drugs. | ||

They were saying on the radio this morning he died from Erotic Asphyxiation... Soundgarden was due in town for a sold out show at Rock On The Range tomorrow night. Rumor has it, that Stone Sour may be filling in. They are playing here tonight and were scheduled to play together Saturday night in St.Louis. He had a great voice. I love some Soundgarden or Audioslave any day of the week. | ||

Erotic asphyxiation? If true...how stupid. I think you're doing it wrong :/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNh-iw7gsuI | ||

Ugh. Another immense talent gone way too soon. | ||

Cops now say they are investigating as a possible suicide. | ||

"autoerotic asphyxiation"?! IIRC the lead singer for INXS did the same thing. Yeesh. It's always good to get yer rocks off, but dang, I don't wanna DIE from it!  At any rate, sad to hear this. RIP, dude. | ||

autoerotic asphyxiation at least he when out doing what he loved | ||
| Hughlysses |
It's been ruled suicide by hanging. No mention of any autoerotic business. http://m.live5news.com/live5news/db_330614/content detail.htm?contentguid=XPpJWeac | ||

Well, dammit again. One of my favorite musicians, Paul Hester from Crowded House, felt the need to do that. I saw the first show after his passing in Nashville... they did their best, using Sheryl Crow's drummer, but it wasn't nearly the same. I believe in what Kevorkian believes. If I'm terminal, and facing hell on this earth, let me check myself out. Otherwise, in a lot of these cases, mental illness/depression will take you where he went. Very sad. | ||

When I first heard Johnny Cash singing "Rusty Cage" over the radio I assumed it was Soundgarden who covered the song that Johnny Cash originally sung decades ago. But the production on the song was too slick to be that old and by the time the song ended I realized Cash was recording again, and was unafraid of making very new material out of an original Soundgarden song, and everything was new again for just a moment. | ||

oh well. hate it for his friends and family. | ||

He had a band on his neck, not a noose. The police often report these as suicides to avoid embarrassing the family. Not claiming that's what it was, but these are often covered up. | ||

About time someone comes up with a better way than rope and hanging for that special pop off. Choke your chicken strap with auto release? One hand on your junk, the other on a spring loaded strap clamp. Pass out and it releases. A "not a dead man" switch if you will. The Carradiner. Sad to see another go from that if it was the case. Outright suicide doesn't seem to fit from friends/family reactions i heard about. | ||

David Carradine?! Who thinks this shit up? I understand the old-fashioned C ring, WTF. I cracked up a savvy kitchen guy a few days ago when I saw those purple rubber bands the use on broccoli and such, and said "Oh Boy! Extras!"  | ||

More news from the radio on my way to work today. It was a work out "Band" that he hooked around the bathroom door knob with a carabiner. No more talk about the stroke and choke. He was taking antidepressants.... side effect suicidal thoughts.. That doesn't sound to "ANTI" depressing to me. | ||

+1, Mark. No need to diss the guy, RIP. |
