Jesus Christ. At least he is still alive. Good of him to be willing to share this. I wish him a quick recovery

Re:
After that documentary for Screaming Bloody Murder I had a feeling something like this would happen eventually. It's just lucky he didn't die straight up and has a chance to change this which I hope he does. Glad to see he's alright and letting us know what's upGregorovich wrote:Oh fuck. Fuck fuck.

Re:
This gives me the option to say something though. I never really posted on this forum because I got a pretty severe hint that on this forum you are supposed to act like everything is a-ok with Deryck even though it was blatantly obvious it was not. I know people around him so I have first hand info, but there were plenty of incidents, witnesses of his behavior that talked about it. Yet, every single time I mentioned it here I was shut down because Deryck didn't have any problem and was just taking meds for his back. I had this conversation with another fan, not here, just yesterday.Gregorovich wrote:Oh fuck. Fuck fuck. I had no idea his drinking was this serious.

Sad that people had to hear it from Deryck himself. It was very obvious for the people who are not invested in the band but it was a no no to ever mention it among fans.
Re: Re:
This should have come as no surprise to anyone. However, I would have never expected him to react like this. I thought he would just go on with it and keep hiding it until he dies.

Re: Re:
They knew, more than anyone else, what his situation was/is. But I think the question was if they were aware that his heavy drinking caused organ failure, he almost died and has been in hospital for a month. I don't really think they knew. It would be nice of them to send him their well wishes on social media.The Jester wrote:I can't imagine they wouldn't have known about itUltraKolby wrote:I'm glad he is doing good now.

Fuck, I'm glad that he's okay. I hope he does what he says, and really to realize that this is already very serious and hopefully this will inspire him to make a good album.

For me it was hard to gauge the extent of his drinking. Every time I saw Deryck with a drink in his hand it was always on an occasion where it was believable someone would be drinking (i.e. touring, recording an album with friends around, party settings... etc.) I didn't know he would drink heavily at home as well mostly because I don't know his personal life and I figured he wouldn't drink as much with his fiancé around. Not to mention that when they took a break from touring it was usually to "rest" and in my mind it meant no drinking as well. It was an "out of sight, out of mind" kind of thing.
