I dont understand why the media keeps referring to his death as simply a heroin overdose? Hillel died from a cocaine/heroin combination. I've struggled with the latter for many years an know that Speedballing is wayyyy more dangerous than taking either drug straight.

after a tour why do they all go their separate ways? weren't they supposed to be best friends?

plus if they're all gonna go get high anyways? why can't they do it together and keep an eye out for each other?

[newaccountdebzbd]

@oaxaca911 Touring is exhausting and confining. Even when you love what you do, it's very hard work for months at a time. Everyone needs a break. Then, when heroin is what you get high on, you can't look after each other. You can't look after yourself.

I don't appreciate his brother merchandising the shit out of his brother's legacy.

[cuntrytrash]

@scartissue94 You have a point, but at the same time if he wasn't someone else would. May as well be his brother.

[Coldacre]

@scartissue94 I disagree. a couple of t-shirts & a book isn't "merchandising the shit" out of a legacy. seeing as the band have released zero concerts or zero merchandise with Hillel's input, his brother is keeping his memory alive. bravo James, keep up the great work.
