I decided to look at the comments and It was fucking cancerous, so many jokes ( which are not even funny ) about Chester's death and the guy didn't even disable the comments let alone delete the video. His fans are fucking trash and I'm so pissed right now .
I didn't even watch the entire video, I was there just to check the comments and it was the shittiest thing I have ever read
This passing is really emotionally draining as it is, best bet would be to avoid such douchebags like the ones in the comments. It's going to be even worse reading those when you're grieving
Eh there are always people who think that joking about someones death is "black humor". I wouldnt care about these people honestly.
He did put up a pinned comment in the video: Most of you guys are just shitposting, but for the record: regardless of the things said in this vid (which I stand by), Chester's passing is absolutely tragic. RIP So no point hating on him. His comment section has however turned cancerous ages ago.
Don't hate him for his opinion. Sure he's a snobby guy but I've seen his other reviews and he does make legitimately good points. He may not like OML but that doesn't mean he has any less respect for the group.
Should Consequence of Sound and NME take down negative write ups? The comments might be shit (they're YouTube comments, they always are) but there was nothing out of bounds with the review.
He made a point to edit his pinned post saying that he didn't approve of the shitposting and that Chester's passing was tragic, as @Agent pointed out.
I legitimately hate people in general after reading Facebook comments on stories and updates on Chester's death full of people calling Chester a coward or selfish. Over and over again, the top rated comments on Loudwire, Ultimate-Guitar, Blabbermouth, Metal Injection, MetalSucks, Consequence of Sound, NME, Rolling Stone, and several others are filled with "he abandoned his wife and kids, what a selfish piece of shit, I have no sympathy for him, suicide is the coward's way out". Ironically, some of these assholes also said they were glad he's dead. Which is it? Are you angry he died because he left his family behind or are you glad he died because you don't like him? You can't have it both ways, you fucking morons.
I don't care what people have to say about OML. If they hate it, they hate it. But it's fucked up to mock Chester following his passing. And it's even worse with those conspiracy theory assholes whose tinfoil (no pun intended) hats are on too tight.
Thank you. He made a lot of good points. I was sort of judging the guy based on his audience (most of them are trolls and edgy guys anyway) and I was grieving so it clouded my judgement a little bit. I'm not saying this because of this video. I wanted to say that way before this video as I'm starting to feel better.
