Oh, mate, no, what are you doing?

This reminds me of how much i loved ‘The Fine Art of Self-Destruction’ in 2002. Haven’t listened to it for years.

What do we think is happening with this story? Has almost been a year.

Nothing

From when I still followed RA’s Instagram, Jesse Mallin was basically the only person allowed to comment on his pictures - always positively and supportively - so it seems they’ve stuck together through this. I guess he owes a lot of his career to Adams (has supported him a lot live and probably would have been long forgotten otherwise).

Seems extremely unlikely that there will ever be any kind of criminal charges. I’d never see Adams live again but it’s clear from social media that many would. His comeback seems inevitable to me :confused:

Ooooffff. This is hard to watch.

Guy on the left is basically propping him up around 40s in

Hmmmm what we saying? Back on the drink’n’drugs or mega-nervous and trying to look weird to front it out.

It’s uncomfortable viewing in every direction.

Fuck, this is sad.

clearly out of it. very grim.

So why are you watching it? This guy deserves no one’s time.

EDIT - this comes across like I’m angry and having a dig…it’s not meant to! :grinning:

Think it is okay to still be interested in the story, and how it plays out given the rather massive loose ends flapping about in the breeze.

Reading the comments under the various postings of the clip on twitter and people are just going “yay! I needed that!” and “he’s back!”. How fucking stupid are people?

Because he was my favourite musician of all time by some distance.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve cut the cord completely since last February - but I invested 20 years of my life and thousands of pounds in this guy so I’m still going to take an active interest in how it all plays out.

This, plus it would be weird to be at a point with the story where you are happy that the end has been reached.

I suspect his fate is to face no criminal charges and kind of tragically circle the drain of celebrity.

I was looking at my last fm the other day - which has almost all the music I’ve listened to since 2007 tracked. His music represents a massive part of what I listened to up until about 2010/11. It sorta dies off after that but also there’s enough there to suggest I was consistently playing four or five of his albums at least once a year. But then last year doesn’t have that and it felt a bit weird looking at these bar charts that represent music that I clearly loved for a very long time and it not being there anymore.
