Monster Magnet tour cancelled...Wyndorf in hospital after overdose

1 of 3

Bummer about the tour, but "full recovery expected" is a relief.

Yeeps. (A pity the press release is sentimental booshwa if well-meaning enough.)

I had no idea. I thought he was a Magma fan?

THAT GUY IS A BRO.

Count me in as a fan. This sucks.

Thank you, your honor. With God's help he'll conquer this terrible affliction.

Yeah, this is bad news. Wyndorf is one of rock's greatest lyricists.

it does suck. hope he gets better.

(drugs = heroin, right?)

Holy crap. I was going to see them when they rolled into town next week. I saw them about two years ago at Rock City and they totally ruled. 15 minute 'Spine of God' as encore, the works. This is pretty awful, I hope it's not as serious as it sounds. Best wishes to him. May the Bullgod bring you back to full strength!

And I won't get to see Witchcraft!! Truly awful news.

About the sentiments expressed above...

<aol> Mee too. </aol>

Es una mierda de noticia. Best wishes from spain. He is one of the best singers i´ve ever heard. And the band is one of my favourites! For all demons and angels! i hope he´ll get better! and maybe could tell us in a song in the future!

PORTLAND, OREGON BABY!

Ever since first hearing the "murder/tractor" single and hearing the first Ep on Glitterhouse I was hooked. Nothing in rock has ever sounded so dark and all out nihilistic and there are few bands that can tread water near Magnet (early mudhoney, stooges, loop). Stoner rock indeed. The scary stoners that you were always afraid of in jr high school...yeah these were the magnet kids and they all know a Lizard Johnny-you better run! "(screaming?) out on the street, I witnessed the birth of a freak...don't waste the drool Johnny!)

Dave Wyndorf will be ok...shit he's mostly clean...that's better than most of us!

I was wondering if there was a thread about this the other day. I practically grew up around the Monster Magnet guys, I was living a block away from them when they first signed to A&M. Dave was a smart, down-to-earth, and personable dude. He loved to mock his own cock-rock persona, and constantly encouraged my own meager musical endeavors.

On one hand, I hope he's ok; on the other, I know the guy's a rock n roll vampire, you just can't kill him. Back in his Shrapnel days he was hospitalized for mouthing off to some Boston bouncers; Monster Magnet was snubbed for years (too smart for metal, too dumb for alternative) before "Space Lord" took off. He just keeps on truckin' through the shit and the flowers.

The recent re-release of Spine of God seems to have slipped by unnoticed? High-ly recommended. The demo version of Ozium on it is great. Don't know why they never released the first two demo tapes on CD. They're widely bootlegged in crappy versions and some of the demo versions majorly stomp their studio counterparts (like "Ozium" and "Tab").
