Honestly can't get over the reactions to this mans death. I've already given my thoughts in the thread on the Glastonbury forum, but the fact that people are acting like some vital cornerstone of society has died a noble death is gobsmacking. He was a f**king div, that just so happened to corner a sub culture of teenage "skater" types who thought getting naked and doing stupid shit was hilarrriousss. He gets pissed and decides to drive his car at 110mph killing not only himself, but his mate, boo hoo, poor ryan... f**k off. Sad when anyone loses their life, but people die all the time, and because this c**t had a beer enema or something, he's a "legend"... nah.

ironically this was my favourite thing which he did, really wanted to do the gumball when I saw it.. anyway regardless of the circumstances its pretty upsetting when someone from your generation goes when you still feel, well pretty young R.I.P :(

Well that was a quick turnaround in the toxicology report

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1666262/ryan-dunn-intoxicated-death.jhtml

Apparently he was intoxicated, twice the legal limit. Such a waste.

An idiotic way to die, and could have endangered so many more lives. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to the dangers of drink driving. My thoughts go out to the family and friends of the passenger and Ryan Dunn.

This is something that scares me though - could I do something as insane as that if I was utterly wasted? I've done things while completely f**ked that seem too bizarre for me to ever do, and uncharacteristic and it all happens in a dream-like funk it makes me wonder if you get to a point where a mere thought is all you need, just like in some mad dreams where your subconscious feeds you some of the dumbest shit which you don't question at the time, until after you wake up.

It's easy to judge but alcohol/drugs make you do really, REALLY stupid shit if you do enough of it. No excuse like, as there's always a point where you can prevent going over that line, but I think because that line is very easy to misjudge it's always quite tragic to hear about instances like this where it ends in tears.

RIP.

    • I'm surprised they risked it, especially after nearly missing their Glasto 22 slot under similar circumstances  I did see someome say Ellie didnt sound as strong as recently but I'm guessing playing 3 shows in 2 different continents doesnt help that    On the topic though I can definitely see them doing a Fontaines and having a break over winter before a few final Clearing shows next summer 
    • That's fair on WA - I did recall people thinking Fontaines would take this year off before this was announced.    On the subject of Wolf Alice, they did Lollapalooza in Chicago on Saturday then Kendal Calling last night. Bit of an odd choice, no? Half imagine at Kendal that they would've been just exhausted.
    • Just logged onto the app to start planning my days and there really are a LOT of stages missing. Apart from the Seaside Stage there is no Casemates this year etc. Apart from the Seaside Stage, there are no Casemates this year, etc. Can't see anything about the kids field really. And there's local acts that are normally there like Kojak's Revenge that aren't appearing either.  Normally we get down fairly early but I can't see anything before 3pm I'm keen to see. Only one real clash as well, which is good, but it's thin and it's not thin in the sense of "I've seen a lot of these acts before"
    • Lifelong Carlisle United supporter here.🤦‍♂️ Good luck for the coming Season and see you in October!
