I've read that lots of musicians (probably their manager, crew, roadies etc) are used as cover to distribute large drug shipments since they tour the country and are allowed free access to large venues and cities.
The situation with Run DMC could be just another piece to the puzzle as the larger picture becomes more clear.
Strange how so many bands have suffered a horrible tragedy. Are they being punished for wanting out or for not following orders? Just a handful come to mind like Metallica, Tom Petty, Nirvana, AC/DC, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Michael Jackson, Prince, Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jimmy Hendrix, Janice Joplin, Ritchie Valens, Elvis, ....too many to list but strange nonetheless.
Forgot about Jam Master J. The murder of Boogie Down Productions’ Scott La Rock is another mysterious death in hip-hop not much talked about (where KRS One started.)
Someday I will sit down and make a whole topic on what you’re saying. Kurt Cobain is one example, sure he was mentally unhealthy but it’s common knowledge he was unhappy of the limelight and wanted to be off a major label so he could make more experimental music. Says so in Azzerad’s book. No way DGC (Geffen) was going to have that. So they scandaled him with Courtney Love’s help and drove him nuts.
Chris Cornell, was not a suicide and Chester Bennington, especially Chester (hell Linkin Park and Jay-Z even re-recorded an entire album together as a duo remix). What the heck, Jay-Z is a known Diddy cohort - did that have to do with his death?
Tom Petty, bless his soul but he made a lot of enemies in the music industry (rightly so) who sadly were able to get to him through his addictions.
Stewart Copeland from the Police, well known that his Dad was a CIA agent and Andy Summers (their very underrated guitar player) spent lots of time in Laurel Canyon in the 70s before he moved back to England to join up with Sting, Miles (Stew’s brother their manager) and him. They became the biggest band in the world in the span of five years.
Lots of military connections in classic rock. Not only Jim Morrison but Mike Rutherford (Genesis bass player and songwriter) his dad was a very highly respected British Naval figure. Seems suss as heck that Phil Collins “suddenly left” Genesis in the mid-90s and fell head first into working exclusively for Disney for a few years.
I could go on!
Edit: not saying anyone mentioned above is “black hat” or “white hat” we’ll just have to see. Would suck to find out some of my biggest influences in music and life are pedos 🤢 tho at this point I’m ready for it.
Excellent response, and thanks for the reminder of Chris and Chester. There really are A LOT of strange tragedies and a complete list would wake more normies.
You will probably appreciate this; Look at Eric Clapton's Wiki page. Brief summary, did pretty good as an artist, but after his son Conner fell 53 stories to his death, his tribute song broke all sorts of sales records and he got a truck load of awards. Was that the price he had to pay for not cooperating or maybe moving on to the next tier of success?
Before people start down voting me, please keep in mind that NOTHING in Hollywood, Politics, Big Corporate nor Music is allowed to "Make it big" unless they satisfy the demands of the gatekeepers.
Thank you and yes Clapton is another great example. Respected by guitarists and musicians (Van Halen only ever studied Clapton to learn guitar) but never had an #1. Even as a kid, I thought “huh?” when I heard about Connor’s tragedy. Next thing you know “Tears in Heaven” is #1..
Gotta get this in a separate topic someday, it’s the caffeine fueling this lol. But definitely needs revisiting as the truth is exposed.
Please do. This stuff fascinates me. I have a growing list of song lyrics on my phone to research as I KNOW they are trying to tell us more about what really goes on.
I just noticed your screen name, so you must know how Dave Mustaine does exactly this in his lyrics and videos.
