Darby Crash

DARBY CRASH

The nihilistic Darby Crash of LA punks The Germs decided to emulate the death (and thus, he believed, the immortality) of his hero Sid Vicious. On 7 December 1980, Crash loaded up on heroin in his bathroom and arranged himself in the shape of a cross, the legend "Here lies Darby C" above his head. He arrived on the other side without much trouble - but any shout he may have had of headlines was utterly scuppered by the actions of one Mark Chapman (John Lennon's Assasin) the following day.

 

i like his music

 

haha..that's kinda funny.

all that and no notoriety.

 

That is kinda funny and i love the germs, but i cant believe he tried to emulate sid vicious.

 

Wow that sucks... I would be pissed if Chapman ruined my suicide.

 

i member his name so cant be all that bad. tharbe darby.far as i can tell being dead is boring. dreamless sleep. sum cunty born agains say its cuz hell was so ugly i cant remember.no matter what yer gonna die, might as well do sum shit first.sides if they want me dead that bad let them go thru the trouble.u know i been thinking. 1 death was booze then dope. dope then booze is safe tho. anyhoo i could defribulate motherfuckers fer money. shock pads they frankenstien yer ass with. find sumone to abscond with the gear n ide be in bizness. specially in la. deathfucks dopedeaths all sortsa curious motherfuckers. if you dont stay dead long theres minor heart brain shit.i like to think i used to be smarter. prolly not tho.

 

yea. everyone tries to emulate sid. just look at pete doherty.

i love the germs. its really sad that his death was overshadowed by lennon's

 

Darby Crash was one of the rawest mother fuckers ever in Punk. Ever heard "Live at the Whiskey" haha..that one is raw

 

actually he didnt do the whole cross on the toilet shit that many people think he did
he oded with another chick in his bedroom that he had with a few people and she ended up getting revived by paramedices
but yeah the Germs are the shit
one of my favorite bands

he tried to kill himself because of his homosexuality and he didnt think the whole punk scene would accept him if he was gay back then and he was depressed and struggling with drug addiction
horrible thing that he died i would have loved to hang with him

 

yes. the live stuff is brilliant. i hated it the first time i heard it, but it grew on me.

 

7th of December, 1980 = My Birthday. It's weird to think of him dying the day I was born.

 

I didnt know he was gay... I always would have though it was Pat who was gay, because he sure looks and acts gay.
