| _______________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 10:33am - the_reverend ""] "Apparently he died from a Methadone over-dose" so he was a fucking moron and it's his own fault that he's dead. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 10:35am - Josh_hates_you ""] O.D. on methadone is awesome. Now they can blame rehab facilities instead of drug dealers for getting him hooked. Yay for curing one addiction with another. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 10:36am - Josh_Martin ""] the_reverend said:"Apparently he died from a Methadone over-dose" That can't be true. You would have to take an insane amount of methadone for it to kill you. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 10:39am - the_reverend ""] yeah, and it would just make you feel like shit. I think the fact is that whatever drug, it was a drug that killed him. placing him right up there with all the other morons that we are suppose to feel sorry about when they kill themselves though drugs, suicide, or after saying "he guys, watch this!" like the band or not, if Kerry King OD'd on something I would call him a moron too. spade=spade. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 10:41am - Joe/NotCommon ""] If he was taking methadone and topped it off with other drugs could it kill him easier then other drugs alone? |

| ________________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 11:02am - Joe/NotCommon ""] he looks like Ethan Hawke to me, but with a gay beard and a stupid hairdo |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 11:08am - ~carina~ ""] fuck you joe! and bite your tongue..he looks nothing like ethan |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 11:09am - the_reverend ""] yeah joe, ethan dumberer looking and has much worse teeth. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 11:12am - ~carina~ ""] yeah "dumberer" that's not even a word.... don't make me post photos of me and ethan now... |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 11:15am - the_reverend ""] hey whatever, i've been featured in pictures with ugly people too. I'm pretty sure that ethan got his teeth from the UK. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 1:33pm - dreadkill ""] that guy is the gayest looking one in the band. i hope it was him. hopefully he was the main songwriter and this horrible band will have no choice but to break up. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 1:59pm - the_reverend ""] I might have been banned from their site for saying that he was a moron... www.headcharge.com isn't working for me. |

I don't think it was you, I think because of recent events that their site is flooded with an insane amount of traffic. it dosent' work for me either. but I don't know if it ever worked before, I've never heard them before. HA My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased, it's not cool to lose someone you know. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 6:17pm - Todd NLI ""] MTV.com is reporting that the cause of AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE guitarist Bryan Ottoson's death has been determined to be the result of a prescription-drug overdose, according to North Charleston, South Carolina police records. The 27-year-old musician's body was discovered Tuesday (April 19) in a sleeping bunk on the band's tour bus in North Charleston, where the group was set to play at the Plex club. Police found a pill bottle containing "numerous amounts of prescription medicine" in Ottoson's bed. Members of AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE told police they last saw Ottoson alive at around 4 a.m. on the morning of April 18, just as the band was departing Jessup, Maryland, for North Charleston. Ottoson had consumed "a large amount of alcohol at a bar" in Jessup that evening, according to police documents. Police were called to the scene at around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday evening; by that time, Ottoson was dead. Bassist Chad Hanks (known to fans by his stage name, Mr. H.C. Banks III) and guitarist Karma Cheema told police that Ottoson was a "heavy sleeper, and it was not uncommon for him to sleep late before a concert." The report also claims police were told that Ottoson had been "consuming unknown prescription medications". |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 21,2005 1:15am - dreadkill ""] the guy with the mohawk/sideburns thing, wearing what barely qualifies as a shirt. i think it would have been way better if it was the guy with the beard and red hair. his hair makes me angry. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 21,2005 1:53am - IntricateProcess ""] wahhh hold on let me care for a second,nah fuck it i had to sit through this shitty fucking band for slayer once. it was horrible cant more people in gay bands like this die? please? |
