Somewhere out there, a writer is feeling smug as fuck over that headline.

As he should. It's pure gold.

I went to one of their concerts, and their lead singer, David Draiman, was one of the most wholesome and honest guys I've ever seen. Funny headline, but I hope he recovers quickly and without any long-term effects.

I've got a distant cousin that practically worships the guy, and the band, specifically because he met David a couple of times and was beyond nice.

Also one of the best voices out there imo. David, not my cousin

We shouldn't have opened up our hate and let it flow into him 😔

Is the lead singer slowly morphing into Phil Collins?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

We should all be so lucky

Do you promise to be a good boy and never do it again?

Why did you have to be such a bitch?

...down with a sickness

What kind of editor changes "the" to "a" in this instance!?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago

It's because there's no punishment when we die

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Because there's a lot more than one sickness?

I read that as a line from "Down with the Sickness."

Also, I had the same problem. Solved by good ol' 1ft.io

At least he's staying true to his motto.

Mommy issues is not a sickness... Unless it is.
