No manchen!!!!

Although that song alone was the only success that group had.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I bet he died from an overdose of some shitty drug or suicide.

 

[FunkMiller]

He is succeeded by his sons Hanky Ballsack, Plonky Smacktoes, and Nobbly Cockrocket.

 

[AJUMP23]

Seems like a dude that would die from an OD.

We are detectives....

I bet it was a drug that the guy overdosed on.

 

[EviLore]

Looks like he succumbed to the abyss. No more suffering, RIP.

 

[Hrk69]

Drugs are a hell of a drug

And the best bit was a Chilli Peppers sample.

It's like the case of Alien Ant Farm, whose only success was a Michael Jackson cover... from there they were not popular at all xD

 

[TheInfamousKira]

But he's my butterfly!

Spoiler

Sugar. Baby.

But for real, rest in peace, dude.

That type of people, here in Mexico we categorize them as "El Kevin" or "El Bryan".... '' Iker''..

If someone lives in Mexico, they will understand the reference.

Weird, because I always get Crazy Town and Buck Cherry confused and I'm sure the lead of Buck Cherry would fall under the same category.

I won't lie, but when I saw the name of the topic, the Lazy Town Series came to mind xDD.

I thought it was a cast member, but I saw it was the singer.

 

[diffusionx]

I hope his brother Turny PTSD is doing ok.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Wish I had a dollar for every time some skank requested that song on TRL and I changed the channel.

I mean RIP

 

[12Goblins]

entire album was kinda banger. But also I was like 11 yrs old. Rip

 

[DGrayson]

RIP

His name sounds like a character from Borderlands

 

[anthony2690]

His vocals sound horrific in the video shared.

Drug user? Regardless I feel for his family and friends to lose a loved one.

 

[Vangu Vegro]

RIP. Gonna rewatch their One Hit Wonderland episode as a tribute (although they don't come off very well in that IIRC).

 

[Chuck Berry]

He is succeeded by his sons Hanky Ballsack, Plonky Smacktoes, and Nobbly Cockrocket.

Kinda close

Shellshock is survived by his three children, Halo, Gage and Phoenix.

What's crazy is apparently this guy was dating Soleil Moon Frye... like.. recently.

The guy looked like a meth'd out homeless dude. How the hell was he getting Soleil Moon Frye..??

 

[Drew1440]

RIP He also wasn't a one hit wonder, he had another hit in 2002.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I wonder if their concert took place... They would only play the song Buttlerfly , which is the only song known from the band

I knew it!!

And without the need for FBI tools.

What did I win?

What are your final words

Come my lady
Come-come my lady
You're my butterfly, sugar baby.

Listen, I really do believe that we shouldn't speak ill of the dead but...in this case I'm afraid that I'll have to make an exception:

I really can't feel (that) bad for people that had it all and then decided to throw it all away - drug addiction or not.
Couple that with the total absence of any kind of real talent (musical or not) and...yeah.
Crazy town was the definition of a 1 hit wonder and the fact that anything beyond that revolved almost exclusively around reality tv shows and the (unfortunately) usual "woe is me" doesn't really help in feeling any kind of sympathy towards this specific individual.
It'd be like saying that you're sorry about - say - Bam Margera when he'll (most probably) meet the same kind of fate.

This is not the same thing as truly gifted but troubled individuals that battled their own demons and finally succumbed to them like Chester from Linking Park, the ever amazing Chris Cornell or Robin Williams which on one hand you might be thinking "why?" on why the did it but at the same time you can really feel their pain and what they most probably were going through - depression really is a beast and it's the worst illness of the 21st century...

This guy...for better or for worse was just another druggie that had too much of what he was having, sorry for being blunt but I just can't feel any sympathy towards him.

Seems likely to me that everyone you're talking about used drugs to manage their depression and ultimately that was part of their demise.

I agree that depression is awful and has taken some of my favorite artists. I particularly love Chris Cornell's work.

But I didn't like this guy's song, so fuck him, his depression doesn't count.

Just a wait a little bit and someone will answer with 'its because of drugs'. Just wait a bit, its coming.
