Cinderella guitarist Jeff LaBar: https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/cinderella-guitarist-jeff-labar-dead-at-58/

My guess is the booze finally got him. He was well aware of his problem and knew he was the reason Cinderella wasn't getting back together. Tom Keifer didn't want to do it unless everyone was there.

Back in 2016, LaBar accepted blame for CINDERELLA's prolonged period of inactivity, explaining that his "drinking problem" caused a rift between him and his bandmates. He told "Another FN Podcast With Izzy Presley": "I can only speculate, but I believe it's all my fault. It's no secret that I've had a drinking problem. And it showed its ugly face on one of those [cruises that CINDERELLA played]. I guess that's what caused a rift… When I fell out on one of those cruise ships in front of everybody — like, basically O.D.'d — that's when the band, and mostly Tom, took notice and was, like, 'What the fuck?'"


Asked if he was sober at the time of the interview, LaBar said: "No, I'm not. Which is the problem. Which is probably the problem. Like I said, I can only speculate, because I don't talk to the other guys anymore. I talk to Fred every now and then. Eric [Brittingham, bass] lives 20 minutes from me. We haven't talked lately, but Eric and I have been the most consistent of all my bandmates throughout the past 32 years. It's just Tom and I that don't talk anymore. And I can only speculate that he's very disappointed and doesn't wanna see me die. He doesn't wanna witness me dying."


LaBar went on to say that the touring lifestyle "fed [his] appetite for partying… all the way back to the '80s." He explained: "I have a history. It's not just these past issues. I have a history of drinking and cocaine… In the '80s, it was cocaine abuse. In the '90s, it was heroin. I went through every cliché phase that a rock star could go through. It just wasn't highly publicized. I was arrested, I went through rehab, I did all the things MÖTLEY CRÜE did. I just didn't publicize it. I was MÖTLEY CRÜE and GUNS N' ROSES all wrapped into one. As a band, we tried to hide our dirty laundry, and most of our dirty laundry was me. We didn't try to hide it; we just didn't publicize it. We just didn't tell people. 'Oh, yeah, Jeff's in rehab. Jeff's in jail. Jeff's in… whatever.' We just didn't publicize it. We actually kept it to ourselves. It was our family. It was our family business, and that's how we treated it."

I enjoyed his bachelor chow level food posts. It's sad that he couldn't beat his demons, much like Jani Lane.

In some interesting news, today marks the death of what was originally the most smartest man in the world (I.Q. wise, which was 300) and it was debated for some time now if he was as really as highly intelligent as surmised.

William James Sidis passed away on the same date of July 17th, 1944 due to a cerebral hemorrhage, which also afflicted his father 21 years before his son’s death.

Sidis was a master of both mathematical and linguistic skills during his time of being the youngest graduate of Harvard University at the age of 11, while also allegedly able to speak 25 languages and dialects.

He also had autistic SJW-tier politics and wrote a book on railway timetables.

Today officially makes it two years since the terrible arson attack on Kyoto Animation’s studio which left 36 people dead and 32 people injured. The number of victims of this arson attack makes it one of Japan’s worst mass murders that the country has ever witnessed.

Let us not forget the animators, artists and visual directors who gave us classic works such as K-ON!, Clannad, Lucky Star, The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya, Violet Evergarden, Sound! Euphonium and much more.

Their deaths will not be left in vain.

I've read Bobbie Browns' books, and she claim that Jani told her he was raped by a record company executive when he was just starting out, and that was one of the reasons he drank so heavily.

It's weird, I read Steven Adlers' (G&Rs drummer) book, and he claimed he was assaulted as well, but he claimed he knew what pervs there were in the entertainment industry, and said it wasn't a big deal to him.
I guess that's the reason he snorted himself out of his G&R job and into a stroke?
