Lucid my ass, the guy lived permanently in borderline overdose

But then watching the documentary "No Escape From Now" added even more sorrow to the loss as he and his family were looking forward to retirement and relaxing like a (semi) normal family and then 17 days later he dies.

Never wait till later to be happy

This was my dad's fate. Dude finally retired after a long life of hard work and immense chronic pain, and his fucking heart blew up a few months later.

17 days of retirement? Not bad.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

That's 17 days more than what the government approves.

That's pretty good for a retirement speedrun.

Live fast retire faster

Not just that, this concert and his death brought metal back into the spotlight and inspired a whole new generation of hard rockers and metal heads.

More plainly, I think we effectively sacrificed the Prince of darkness to bring heavy metal back to life and it was the single most metal thing that could ever happen in all of history 🤘

All hail the Prince of Darkness!

How is the [King] of darkness a better person then the Christian in the white house? ..... hail Satan????

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 5 points 19 hours ago

Because the Christian in question follows the tenets of the religion he professes to adhere to about as well as Lemmy followed his own advice about staying clean.

That man is so far removed from Christ and the teachings of the bible, he aspires to be Pilate.

Some people asked that a long time ago as well, so it's not that unheard-of a belief: Luciferianism

I’m not one to read memoirs but I will buy Last Rites not only because it’s Ozzy’s tale of his final years, but the proceeds further go to charity.

Well, he supported Israel, and the death of thousands of other children, so i guess he went neutral?

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Go back to lemmy.ml instead of spreading slander.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Go back to "enter a group that do not use search engines here" instead of checking things before you answer.
