If there was, Travis would have been the first to go.

It's like the Big Bopper all over again! Why are the most talented people always killed this way?

Travis, I hope your alright, because otherwise we'll miss you. As if it wasn't obvious that you need to stay together for the kids... We don't want to hear you say I won't be home for christmas... You made yourself an easy target by flying a plane that you know may go down...

Okay, I'm done...

/if this post bugs you, you just need learn to let all the small things go...
//damnit I'm really done this time...

I hope the newsreaders all talk out their noses in tribute to the awesome power of lowest common denominator "rock" when announcing this "tragic" incident.

In all fairness, I'm sure his haircut cushioned the impact. Somewhat like a hamster on a cat's head in a head-on with a rabid bear.

I'm really hoping that it's not true but if there were six passengers, four fatalities, and the two survivors are Travis Barker and DJ AM, it doesn't look good.

Ever listened to any of their cynically demographic-ticking peabrained bumsludge that they had the gall to market as music?

Blink 182 are to music like AIDS is to sex - it's going to be involved if you're unlucky, and if it happens you'll never want to know about it again.

MSNBC is saying it might have been perry farrell and gavin degraw on the plane, but have not confirmed.

Were Weird Al's parents on the flight?

That's the AP report of the people on board that I just posted. I really hope it's not true.

I do believe that would move this story off the Music tab.

I see no mention of Perry Farrell on CNN, link anyone?

Holy Crap. Perry Farrell, really?

Blink182 does not define Travis Barker. But whatever, you are entitled to your opinion.

I always liked their albums, but they sucked live whenever I saw them... Sure it's kind of pop punk, but that doesn't automatically mean it's bad. They sit on my ipod with the likes of Social D, The Ramones, AFI, Rancid, DK's, etc...

CNN and MSNBC isn't saying anything... people are making stuff up.

We don't even know if Barker and AM are even going to survive yet... The whole plane burned up. It doesn't look good.

You should probably be more concerned about Perry.

I'm posting the updates from another site I'm looking at and I'm starting to think someone is trying to play games because the reliable sources are only saying 3 men, 1 woman dead.

The day the Punk rock died.

You heard it here first!

 
treecologist 2008-09-20 09:49:37 AM  
Farrell's Wikipedia page already reports him as dead.

/not that it makes it true

 
Mangoose 2008-09-20 09:50:28 AM  
No news outlet has confirmed the identity of any of the other victims, near as I can see. So, I don't think anyone can say who the two other passengers were.

If Perry was dressed similarly to how he has been when I've seen him live, they could have just made a mistake about the gender.

Came in here to say this... I'm wondering if its Shanna Moilker (SP) that is the female. That would be horrible, they have kids..

/so sad..

That's the link with the list claiming AP is reporting. I think it's bullshiat and someone is just taking advantage of the confusion. MSNBC did say that the pilot and co-pilot are dead and that the two other people on the plane were playing the festival with Barker and AM. Navarro didn't play. Unless one of the pilots happens to be female, I don't think it's true.

CNN said that Perry Farrell was on the plane.

Jerry Wasnick (pilot) Jeremy Watkins (co-piliot) Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro


I don't see that on cnn.com.
Where are you getting that info ?


Also Dave was in Chicago on the 18th with a different tour.
This is from his site....wwww.6767.com

MSNBC is saying they cannot confirm who the two dead passengers are.

Perry's wiki-status has been upgraded to alive...for now.

Omarion's is still listed as 'being prayed for'.

 
dougiezerosag 2008-09-20 09:54:23 AM  
It makes sense that Perry might have been on the plane. I mean... it WAS headed back to LA, where he lives. Why would he stay in South Carolina?

You think he would release a statement saying he was ok.

 
foe2minutes 2008-09-20 09:54:36 AM  
Geez, I know this is Fark, but not even a little compassion? I'm not a Blink 182 fan or anything, but making jokes about someone being horribly burned (at best) in a plane crash the SAME morning it is released as news strikes me as a little...rough. Meh.

Made jokes about Benoit the day it happened, and he was a personal hero of mine. Why should I stop because someone made shiatty music?

/welcome to the internet buddy.

Barker had performed Friday night at an event alongside Perry Farrell, the former Jane's Addiction singer, as well as Gavin DeGraw and DJ AM. Hospital officials said that DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Michael Goldstein, had also been admitted to the burn unit in critical condition. It was not clear whether Farrell and DeGraw were also traveling with Barker and Goldstein.
