Celebs who are now dead

[phonics]

Still not what my job is or ever was, mate.

[Magic]

Maybe it would be if you took more hallucinogens.

[-james-]

Apparently people are being discouraged from saying "commited suicide", because the verb "commit" implies a criminal act. I can't even.

[Henry]

There are a lot of people murdering themselves these days, are there not?

[Spikey M]

How are you taking the news of Harold’s death, Henners?

[Magic]

There are a lot of people murdering themselves these days, are there not?

Please add to the problem.

[Lewis]

I had never heard of this man, but he sounds like a tosser.

[Henry]

How are you taking the news of Harold’s death, Henners?

He's probably still posting under an alias you know.

[SvN]

I can't think of a single new poster in the last year.

[Giggles]

Apparently people are being discouraged from saying "commited suicide", because the verb "commit" implies a criminal act. I can't even.

The new world.

[bruhnaldo]

I'd think at some point travelling the world would get depressing. Man had basically been everywhere on earth it seems like. Dined in the fanciest of restaurants and in the poorest villages.

He's probably seen so much food go to waste and watched so many others starving to death. Idk. I get it.

[Spikey M]

Yeah, I feel like ending it all whenever I go on holiday but see some brat waste a plate of chips. Poor sod.

[Pepe]

Food waste, I am sure that is what did it for him. Lucky for us that we never have to see that.

[Magic]

You know someone who has quotes like 'your body isn't a temple it's a playground, have some fun!' is an absolute cunt.

[Spikey M]

RL has that tattooed on his cock.

[Magic]

A playground with debilitating headaches.

[bruhnaldo]

Yeah, I feel like ending it all whenever I go on holiday but see some brat waste a plate of chips. Poor sod.


Food waste, I am sure that is what did it for him. Lucky for us that we never have to see that.

It drove Kevin Carter, that photographer made famous by that Manic Street Preachers song, to suicide. And he didn't even get to see the highest of highs like Bourdain.

Imagine dining in a 5* Michelin restaurant and you're in the kitchen and you're seeing "thousands of dollars" worth of food being wasted all around you by people depressed with their lives of overindulgence... then going to some tiny ass village in Africa and seeing people literally starving to death but managing to make the most of their situation because they literally don't know anything else.

It's depressing to think about, for me at least. Though I imagine you both got the point I was making and chose to do this bit that you always do instead.

[bruhnaldo]

And yea we all see and know about it, but we all generally have the hope that things could get better at least in our own lives. Anthony Bourdain had everything we could imagine. Fame, fortune, a beautiful family, had been everywhere in the world and actually seen what it's all about.

There was little left for him to discover, not just about the world but about society and himself in general. It's awful but I totally get it.

[phonics]

Bruh, stop trying to apply logic to mental illness. It's not how things work.

[bruhnaldo]

Sorry, I think about this stuff a lot and it makes me quite sad so I don't know I guess maybe I related in a way and just started talking.

[Magic]

He'd always been a bit fragile and was broke and depressed when he decided to commit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He'd always been a bit fragile and was broke and depressed when he decided to commit.

We're talking about Anthony Bourdain not you.

[Boydy]

Bruh, stop trying to apply logic to mental illness. It's not how things work.
It can though. It's not all just chemical imbalances in the brain. There can be societal reasons for mental health problems too.

[bruhnaldo]

Ya i can't buy that it's all chemical imbalances and shit, either. If you really think about it there's no point to life. There's so much fucked up shit going on all we really have is to put blinders on and try to live our own lives the happiest we can. We keep ourselves occupied with television, music, film, theater, sport, whatever the fuck... but none of it ACTUALLY matters.

In our happy bubbles we'd like to think there's some purpose out there somewhere. Bourdain has basically been everywhere seemingly looking for it and couldn't find it.

Now, of course, all of the drugs certainly had an effect on Bourdain personally (w/r/t his brain function). I mean more in the general sense.

[Spikey M]

Nobody without mental health issues is killing themselves because there’s poor people in other countries.

[bruhnaldo]

This thing you do where you make everything out to be the most basic possible understanding of what's been said and then debate that bit is grating.

[Spikey M]

Stop saying stupid shit then.

[bruhnaldo]

Clearly I've just brought up one aspect of the man's life and said how I could see how one could feel saddened even though they basically get paid to go wherever they want in the world and that's somehow turned into "Well that's surely not the reason he's killed himself" no fucking shit, it was assuredly a myriad of factors. Thanks for the insight.

[Pepe]

Spikey lacks porpoise lol.

[Boydy]

Nobody without mental health issues is killing themselves because there’s poor people in other countries.

No one is arguing he didn't have mental health issues.

[mugbull]

Bourdain was so good.

[mugbull]

It’s interesting to me that a lot of Brits haven’t heard of him because he’s massive over here, but then I guess its the same when I don’t recognize 80% of the people you guys post about

[Giggles]

He's no Ina Garten.

[Pepe]

I know who he is (a cook) but I don't think that I ever watched anything he did.

Gordon Banks gone at 81.

[Ian]

In the BBC article Alan Mullery is quoted as saying:

"He was an absolutely marvellous goalkeeper. He was a likable man, and when it came to business, he was probably the best there has ever been."

What?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Presumably he means the business of goalkeeping, unless Mullers thinks that banks are named after him.

[Ian]

I thought that but unless they've rammed two quotes together he'd literally just mentioned his goalkeeping. He will be rather old, I suppose.

[Baz]

Yesterday I learned about Bert Trautmann (https://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/17419695.film-to-depict-life-of-goalkeeping-legend-bert-trautmann-who-started-career-at-st-helens-town/).

I shit you not lads I was reading about Gordon Banks at work the other day, clocked his age, and thought he was doing well not to be dead.

Classic Lewis with his fanciful tales.

Isn't 81 about/below average rather than doing well?

I know this is into nostalgia glasses territory (I remember when all this was MTV videos and record shops etc) but The Prodigy feel about a million times more interesting than anything you get these days. Pre-internet too, so when you saw a guy with a reverse mohawk going mental in a sewer on your television then you damn well had to go and find out who the fuck they were.

[Boydy]

:D

[mugbull]

That was their shittiest big song anyway

[Offshore Toon]

The Prodigy were incredible in their day. Experience is easily a 10/10 album. I'd say their only actual bad album is The Day Is My Enemy, although outside of the 90s it is a very mixed bag. Saying that, Keith had nothing to do with Experience, but was obviously hugely influential later as they went global. This might mean the end of their live show, but for me I don't think they'd ever top their Jersey Live (lol, I know) set anyway which was basically a greatest hits of the 90s stuff before the 'comeback.' I've seen them a couple of times since and the last time was awful.

I also suspect, like all professional 'ravers' from the 90s, that he took one too many pills in his time and his brain is spangled. Sad to see him go like this, though. The Prodigy still had legs and I actually quite liked their last album.

[Shindig]

I dunno, he sounded level-headed whenever he got interviewed during MotoGP coverage. I guess the good thing is they could carry on without him. Glad I got to see them a couple of years back, even if the place was half empty and I was right at the back. They do it right.

It's been said but seeing The Prodigy hit number 1 with Firestarter felt like a watershed moment. Right place, right time. Even listening to Fat of the Land this morning, it felt very much 1997.

[Lewis]

Music for the Jilted Generation > *

Yup, not sure I can separate Fat of the Land and Experience though.

I remember being a 14-year old American boy listening to Fat of the Land from my suburban home in Northern California and trying to play it at every party I went to.

I'm sure that's ruined the group for the rest of you.

Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned aged quite well I think. I wouldn't have it too far behind the 90s albums, but miles ahead of the rest.
