Geez, I can't believe you lot! Not a single post about the loss of James Freud.
If it had been that tone-deaf, screeching no-talent Jimmy Barnes that'd topped himself, you'd all be on here saying how sad it is.

Err no I wouldn't

Wasn't a James Fraud or Models fan

Very sad for those left behind

[Jacosh]

I must have been on another planet as i hadnt heard.  
RIP James 


One of the best songs he has ever done.

I wasn't a fan either, but sad to see someone waste themselves to death
I did like this song though

Re Barnesy, I have a love/hate relationship with him
Hate the screeching but he has his moments when he gets it right
Nice fella I hear too

Check out the series of clips on you tube titled my first gig where barnsey does duets with a raft of artists. He's surprisingly versatile and as you say FNM, when he gets it right he he's quite good.

As for Freud, yes it is a shame to see another life wasted in such a way, but to me as he was not producing music and I have no emotional ties, his passing has no real effect on me, unlike his family and friends who would be devastated.

I wasn't a real Models fan either although I did like "I hear motion" growing up. I missed a lot of their earlier stuff as I was under 10. Like everyone else sad to see someone die in such circumstances. He looked and sounded pretty sad when he did the GF footy show a few years back. I flicked on the tv this morning and Rage had a Freud tribute but most of songs came from the Out of Sight Out of Mind album.

MOTOGP rider Marco Simoncelli has died after a crash two laps into the Malaysian MotoGP.

The Malaysian MotoGP was cancelled four minutes after the race began when the Honda rider fell and was hit by Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.

Simoncelli, 24, had his helmet knocked off in the accident, which occurred when the Italian lowsided from his bike at turn 11.

His bike veered across the track and straight into the path of Edwards and Rossi. The race was immediately red-flagged.

Simoncelli was motionless on the track after the impact.

Edwards also fell but escaped serious injury, while Rossi, on a Ducati, was able to return to the pits.
Simoncelli's condition was not immediately known.

Newly-crowned champion Casey Stoner admitted watching the accident made him worried for Simoncelli.

"As soon as I saw the footage it just makes you sick inside," the Australian told BBC2.

''Whenever the helmet comes off that's not a good sign."

Just a week after the Indy Drive passed away in a horrific crash another one has happened in motor GP.
As regular viewers of motor GP it's truly sad for the motor racing community.

Thoughts are with Marco's family and friends.
Also with Rossi and Edwards who knows what would be going through there minds know even though there was nothing they could do to prevent it.

Dreadful news, really nice guy, we sat next to Marco at dinner in Phillip Island a few years ago and my wife was speaking to him in Italian, he then let us all have photos with him and we all shook hands as he left.

Great big personality....fantastic man.

Massive loss..RIP Marco!!

[mightytiges]

Sympathies to his family and loved ones. His poor girlfriend was watching it live at the track  .

This week just shows how dangerous motorsport is.

RIP.
