    Once you make it.... musicians must have one of the easiest lives... just make sure your manager don't fukk you over.... and don't have a wife or a nagging gf. And you're golden. 50 is too soon though. Terrible.

    Oh this isn’t true at all. I mean the level of “making it” that you speak of might be to be in the biggest rock band in the world as the foo fighters are, but getting to that level, I mean the average kid in AAU has a better shot at making the NBA than that. Music is one of the most difficult industries to truly make it in. And countless artists you think have “made it” are nowhere near the level of financially free that you think they are. They always always owe somebody something

    Yeah, especially nowadays... Artists don't get rich off of album sales anymore and the streaming services are notoriously stingy and corrupt, so most bands have to tour their asses off to make a little scratch from their keep at the gate and whatever else they can pull at the merch stand. The mega successful bands that can rest on their laurels made their lion's share before the radical changes in the industry shook things up.

    Yep 100%. And labels are taking from the touring haul wherever they can and venues take a cut of merch sales. It has always been the most ass backwards industry and remains so to this day. It’s geared to bleed artists dry and and toss them aside after they’ve made the label execs at the top rich. There are ways around this these days and a lot of artists are able to take control of their careers but it’s incredibly hard to get to that point when literally anyone can set up a bandcamp page and get on an aggregator and get their shit everywhere on streaming services which in turn makes it that much more difficult to stand out

    One of my favorite examples of how fukked the music industry is…Jake E Lee wrote an entire Ozzy record, I think it was Bark At The Moon, but it’s credited as “music and lyrics by Ozzy Osborne”. Like what in the fukk shit is that, Ozzy had never nor since written a stitch of music in his life. But those with power will fukk you over whenever they can. The idea in this case being, no one cares about your music if Ozzy’s not singing on it, and you get strongarmed out of your credit and never paid for your contribution. Now how the fukk is that ok??

    I'm not disagreeing with you. All I'm saying is.... typically it's a poor contract... that causes financial uncertainty... or a band to work "extra hard"... without falling off the map to honor it. I know the band "Sponge" isn't that well known.... but my brother's band use to headline constantly... and Sponge would warm up for them when they toured. My brother's band failed due to poor management. And yeah... all the members couldn't stop banging women constantly.... rather than writing songs. Life will be life...

    You typically have 4 creative minds in a band.... if one even has a business sense (which is highly unlikely).... you tend to have quarrels over leadership. Musicians tend to lack logic... and a business sense. All it takes is a faulty contract.... and they are screwed... for numerous years. I feel that's why some bands don't make it big.

    The shocking death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins could be related to drugs, authorities said.

    Hawkins, 50, was found dead in a hotel room at the Casa Medina in Bogota, Colombia, Friday, where heartbroken fans gathered outside in shock.

    “According to those close to him, the death could be related to the consumption of drugs,” the Metropolitan Police of Bogota said in a statement published by several news outlets in the South American nation and reported by the Mirror of London.

    “The cause of death has yet to be established,” police cautioned.

    Hawkins, an electrifying performer with a stage presence that projected from behind his drum kit, had a history of known drug use. He overdosed on heroin in 2001 and spent a week in a coma, just four years after joining the Foo Fighters, according to The Sun.

    Columbia is where the drugs come from

    Fentynal almost for sure

    Only question is do the foo fighters continue, or fold up shop like Led Zeppelin did.

    I doubt they stop, Charlie Watts just died and the stones didn't skip a beat

    Fentynal is a game changer. Anyone who parties needs to think twice.

    Bad idea to tour in Colombia with a drug addicted drummer. Whose idea was that?

    Grohl had to know he was using. He's with him everyday.

    Didn't learn anything from Cobain.

    Michael J. Fox once referred it to as "Peruvian marching powder".

    Seriously doubt it was Fentanyl, I mean it could have been, but you really don't party out with dope like you do with coke.

    Heard he got a booster shot about a month ago.

    Would be crazy if he died from that….especially since they were one of the bands leading the must be vaxxed to attend their concert.
