morning while driving to today's concert on the "Never Sleep Again"

Silverstein and Aiden. Their drummer John "Beatz" Holohan was killed
when their van flipped after hitting a patch of ice outside of Cheyenne,
WY. Their bass player Nick Ghanbarian was also seriously injured.
Anthony and Jack have thankfully been discharged from the hospital.
Members of the band's crew also remain hospitalized.

Tonight's show in Salt Lake City is cancelled. An announcement regarding
the rest of the tour will be made later today.

WOW, not a fan of the music but this does suck

just looked on victory's site and the band's and nothing.

Looks like he can't drive FIFTY FIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

just remember that bands tour all the time, even bands that you like, maybe even your band and shit like this could go down...so talking shit would be lame on anyone's part

damn, that's a shitty thing to have happen, to anyone. I agree with mOe, talking shit would be the dumbest thing you could possibly do

me too. it sucks that this happened. the band was not-good, but when you go out it's luck of the draw. just think when superchrist drove here from chicago.

what happened then?

i agree with you. i've never even heard of that band and doubt i would like their music, but i'd be devastated if this happened to someone in my band or any bands we like or are friends with. i feel bad for those guys.

What kinda lame ass response is that? "i've never even heard of that band and doubt i would like their music". Its that kinda closed minded bullshit that makes 90 percent of the people on this board suck. Its a never ending cycle to fit in around here. You are too worried about what everyone else thinks to listen to what you want. Be your own person you fucking clone. Its ok not to like a band AFTER you've heard them. You people make me sick.

wow the song thats playing in the background of the main page saids " our lives are almost done...." this is horrible news my heart goes out to the band and their familys

Dude, shut up. I dont know anything about that guy but i'm sure i can make the assumption that he doesnt like pop punk. A lot of people ehre don't. I'm not closed minded in the least bit, i just know what i like and what i dont like. Since this is an music opinion forum among other things everyone on here is entitled to their own opinion. The fact that you would come on here and tell someone they make you sick because they dont like a certain genre of music or a certain band makes you sound ignorant.

^^^

wasnt a fan of their band, but this definitely sucks.

what happened to superchrist?
