So some so called people on this site are making a joke out of 97 people losing there lives.
Great White may not be your fav band so what, the people that died where rock fans like you or me.
Great White is NOT carring on tour with a replacement guitarist that is a lie, the rest of the touring band are back in L.A. trying to cope with the tragedy.
Jack Russell and his band had nothing to do with getting permission to use pyro on stage handlers and managers deal with that shit, the band comes in and plays everything else is organized before hand.
Has for the club, CNN reports that many bands used pyro in that club with the owners permission, how much does a fucking fire extinguisher cost anyway? other clubs are coming forward to say that GW did ask, and when told no they complied.
Sound proofing looks like the fuel that help fire race through the club so quickly.
So remember the next time you "joke" about this that you stop and think about how it could have been you, and your friends, or family.
Point your fingers but it won't bring back those who died.. - Tue, 25 Feb 2003 12:39am

plenty of club owners have come forward and said that Great White tried to use pyro even after they were told not to. - Tue, 25 Feb 2003 9:47am
jackass I saw what'shername (Maury Povich's wife) on CNN and she was interviewing two of the employees there...neither of them had ever seen a band use pyro at that club before. What stage manager in his right mind would have approved that pyro show? - Tue, 25 Feb 2003 10:03am

With all the nightmarish things going on in the world dipshits pick "The Rhode Island Tragedy" as their moral crusade.

anyways.... I think zimmers is opening for the strapping show this friday. I'll be standing pretty close to an exit. - Tue, 25 Feb 2003 1:19pm
Stupidheadmuthafukka Life is cheap. Probably more than 97 people die violent deaths each minute of the day on this earth... with current trends, I doubt that's gonna go down any. - Tue, 25 Feb 2003 2:32pm

Regarding the fire which claimed so many lives: There's only one reason the soundproofing material caught fire, cause it dried out (if the club infact packed the people in every week, the heat generated from the crowds would dry out the foam over a number of years). Now what does this have to do with certain local clubs?!? Well it doesn't, but it could happen any number of ways. The clubs HAVE TO start having better ventilation, it might not be a fire that claims lives, someone might pass out due to the heat and die that way. The local club owners I think have a responsibility to those fans that make it happen (and make the club owners money). Then again, you hear what happened to that poor guy at Legends last week?!? Hope he's out of coma, nuff said. - Tue, 25 Feb 2003 6:28pm

they(the band) have been issused a subpoena to answer questions within the next few days. I can't believe what I saw today with them claiming it was still too early and they were greiving for the loss of life. Ya, ok, and you want to resume tour asap?! Fucking morons.
And of course I know it all, if I didn't who would?! hahaha - Tue, 25 Feb 2003 9:01pm
cookiemonsterarghhhh! At least this "hair metal" band has a singer that can actually sing. I admit it's not very technical music like death metal, but the singing in most extreme metal sucks, no talent what so ever except to not wreck your voice screaming like that all the time. Fucking horrible cookie monster faggots! - Tue, 25 Feb 2003 11:54pm
Cookie monster MMM cookies!! Good thing them "big" boys scream, gets me wet! - Wed, 26 Feb 2003 12:01am
Anonymous Man where do you guys make up this shit?
Great White is NOT going back on fucking tour, I would love for one of you to have been there watching what people saw that night burning bodies and the smell of death
In your world it's a joke in the rest of the world it's a tragedy. morons! - Fri, 28 Feb 2003 12:38am

Anonymous It's sick you people think this is funny. nearly 100 people died and each of those people has a family that is suffering. Take 1 for example - their guitar player that died. He had an unborn child on the way. - Fri, 28 Feb 2003 11:53am

Anonymous Yeah, yeah. I know some wise ass is gonna say, "Fuckin get over it," but this thing is really haunting me.

Another person died in the fire today from her injuries. That would probably be the most painful death ever. They say burns are the worst pain a person can experience because your nerves are all fucked up.

Here's today's obituary: http://www.boston.com/globe/obituaries/
Fucking sad. - Fri, 28 Feb 2003 1:01pm
Anonymous it's awful. Even after you're in the hospital, 2nd & 3rd degree burns can take a while to kill you. The reason is your skin is still burning. You get progressively more and more tissue damage and more and more water loss until your systems can't sustain themselves any more and you die. - Fri, 28 Feb 2003 1:12pm

Anonymous OKAY, WHAT do all you people want us to do for you so that you feel better?
Shall we talk about how much WE CRIED when we heard about it?
Shall we say here on the message board how much our hearts ached for the people WE'VE actually lost in our lives? What will make it all better for you?
JUST TELL US WHAT YOU WANT FROM US SO YOU CAN STOP POSTING NEWS STORIES AND OBITS HERE ON THE BOARD! - Fri, 28 Feb 2003 8:49pm

Anonymous I like it a lot, a LOT. Got any more?
Does anyone have any from other tragedies too cuz I'm really diggin this and there's not enough here to make me really bawl hard enough to hit that martyr nerve I'm always looking for. My friends haven't felt sorry enough for me and I haven't gotten enough brownie points for my sensitivity for the rest of humanity yet.

I'm only mocking you because I know of what I speak (and what you're doing). Sorry if it hurts, but the truth does. - Fri, 28 Feb 2003 9:27pm
