covered Turbonegro's All my friends are dead a few days ago already, but I stumbled upon it 5 minutes ago and now I feel like crying...

I hope it's okay for me to post it here. I don't think it's disrespectful or anyting, I see it more like a way to deal with the pain, to vent, you know...

But if you want me to delete this, I'll do.

I still miss

I don't think it's disrespectful. Thank you for sharing.

I think its probably the healthiest situation for Bam. Doing tv crap would be dealing with a huge ghost of Ryan. He's beyond a hasbeen in the skating world. But doing this band thing... he's surrounded by his strongest support system, and its new.

I dont find the song disrespectful at all, I find it hauntingly expressive for a guy who has a hard time expressing himself, like a grown ass middle age man.

Ryan was trending several times during MTV's Jackass Mancation thing.. in fact, when ever Jackass reruns air, Ryan seems to trend. It blows me away to see how many people miss him still, as much as we do. Lots of affection for him...way more than douche-y comments.

This band, and the tour he's on right now, is slowly killing him. Bam's not in a good place right now. He's got a bunch of enablers around him. Chad actually quit the band yesterday because Bam's attitude and addiction to alcohol and drugs has gotten way worse. It's really sad.

I'm reading about all this now and my Bam worry has basically shot through the roof. I can't deal with something happening to him after what we've went through with Ryan. D:

yeah, saw CIGs Tweet, a few days after I posted that. So scratch my best case scenario theory. Bam's has a new reality show for TBS too. So yep, no better, lots worse and w/o Dunn or CIG to babysit his dumb ass, not good.

This train wreck of a show is coming to my city. Curious and conflicted about going. Really feel it will be the last time to see him alive. But, do I want it as a memory, or is it better to opt for fangirling denial, circa Jackass 2 and all is unicorn and sparkles?!

I can already hear his dumbass enablers spewing crap, after Bam's demise....about how he and Dunn needed to be together, and this was fate, and other happy horseshit excuses.

Much like you wanted to tell Knoxville what a horrible idea JA4 is, go and tell and Bam to get his ass in rehab? He wont listen of course, but he needs to hear it. 24/7. Novak will be on this tour, so you know, it'll be a shitshow, unless TBS has laid down the law in a serious way.

Wow.... Really, Bam? I know this was months ago, but still....

You know something? I don't think it's bad that you did this. I still watch "Jackass" clips, and it's strange for me to Ryan there, just because I know that he was and now he's dead. It's almost been two years (Yeah, a reminder, I know... Sorry.), and many of us still need time to heal. Sometimes, I try to find out what Bam's been up to, and.... *sigh*

Incidentally, I actually thought of coming back here when Roger Ebert died last month. I thought, "Oh, here we go." Yet, I didn't. I didn't want to see the comments, if there were any, but I think we would have been respectful of his death despite everything.
