Keith Flint died

Unbelievable!

Nick

Your quote saying you will not miss him, disrespectful, why comment on the sad passing of a great musician, Iā€™m sure his friends and family will miss him.

i will remove my post, it will be better than explain. In French language, i would wrote more diplomatically.

I donā€™t think for one minute you meant to be disrespectful to the deceased, simply not your style. The music may have had the desired love it/hate it effect on you resulting in a reactionary response without thinking.

If you want to see something quite controversial watch the ā€˜Smack My B**** Upā€™ video which shows many of our cultural excesses and has quite a surprising conclusion - not family friendly.

I donā€™t know the groupā€™s output that well, and to be honest always found Mr Flintā€™s on stage persona a bit scary, but by all accounts he was completely different off stage, which is odd as I thoroughly enjoy Marilyn Manson for example, and heā€™s a very clever chap.

Interesting read here French Rooster about the man rather than the on stage persona:

ā€¦for example:

Pop star James Blunt even shared a story of Flintā€™s kindness and generosity after a bruising night out.

"At the Q Awards years ago, when Noel Gallagher was saying he was leaving Ibiza because Iā€™d moved there, and Damon Albarn refused to be in the same picture as meā€¦ Keith Flint came over, gave me a hug, and said how thrilled he was for my success,"

I just wanted to say that itā€™s definitely not my style of music. But i should not have posted itā€¦ so apologize please

I too have read today that a separation in his marriage may have been a big reason for taking his own life. So sad to hear of thisā€¦ I wasnā€™t a huge fan of their music either but i can appreciate how much energy Mr Keith Flint would of radiated out into the crowd at a live gig. I have never seen them live but know of others who have of all who say he/they were totally awesome.

If you really want to express yourself in your mother tongue, you can try ā€œSynthĆØse Haute FidĆ©litĆ©ā€, but I doubt that what you have to say in French is much more constructive than in Englishā€¦

Terrible taste from some members if you didnā€™t like his music why comment.

Like Roger Daltrey and many other front men he delivered a great song writers music in a way that they and nobody else could and that was heā€™s talent.
He had achieved more by the time he was twenty five than 90% of us ever do, you may not like his music but have some respect for his family and friends and I for one will raise a glass each time I hear his music. RIP x

and why not ? itā€™s a free mind forum, restricted on hifi and music area.
I am not talking about the person, neither adressing myself to his family or in public.

:small_blue_diamond: Now I think you should stop jumping on Frenchrooster,ā€¦he has apologized for his statement lots of times.

Iā€™m not jumping on anyone and didnā€™t read any other post doing so. As he states itā€™s a free mind forum and so Iā€™m free to comment on his post am I not.

Come on folks - not the spirit of the thread. Perhaps Richard could do some pruning and get this back on trackā€¦

:small_blue_diamond: James_n,ā€¦I agree with you,this thread is about an artist who in a tragic way passed away.

That someone happens to express themselves wrongly,and apologize for it,ā€¦it should suffice with it.
It does not have to be written 20 posts about it.

His music might not be among my favorites,ā€¦but it doesnā€™t matter.
He had received a gift, giving of his art to the rest of us.
That,ā€¦since his life ended as it did is just tragic.

:dove: RIP Keith Flint.

Its always sad to see anyone passing so early whether famous or not. Its especially sad when its self inflicted and for someone to be so desperate to have taken his own life.

I hope he finds his peace.
