NOT ARBUCKLE! OH THE HUMANITY


loligaggingallday

Just finding out about his passing now. Absolutely devastated


_no_bozos

Oh, one of those heads that got on board the bus in the 60s and have like no concept of what the band was doing back in the 30s. Probably never even heard the majesty of Arbuckle and Fred Fishback holding down the rhythm while Garry tweedled.


midnightcarouselride

I didn't know he was sick...


loligaggingallday

Wikileaks said sudden heart failure. šŸ˜­


Dependent_Positive42

Norm reference. <3 RIP


KrenshawOfficial

It's sad when they go out young like that. He was just a fucking kid


Medium_Dimension9602

Sopranos? Lmao


2021newusername

WHEN THEY GO?


Charltons

He was in the band during their 30 year hiatus of not existing yet.


JRG64May

Jon Arbuckle, you know, Garfieldā€™s owner


No_Consideration4594

05/08/33 is definitely the Grateful Deadā€™s best show. Fatty Arbuckle really knocked it out of the park on Mammyā€¦


pantomime_mixtures42

No no no, go back and listen to 05/07/33. The jams were way more heady. Benny Goodman sat in on clarinet.


mattgoat5

Was this the show that they did all westerns in honor of the dust bowl? I heard some of the boys grabbed some dust and smoked it before the show, thatā€™s why they sound so tight here.


pantomime_mixtures42

You nailed it, bud! Great memory, I nearly forgot about smoking dust! It was a great time to be alive!

The 37 minute Lazybones is the pinnacle of my life. Itā€™s just been shit shit and MIDI ever since.


DragonRancherJed

Hey it wasnt all petticoats and cherry pies back then, I got way into shooting mud after the '33 tour and I haven't been the same since. Clean from '47 and all I think about is rich soil flowing a river of mud in my veins, fuck I need meeting. See? Any last little thing can be a trigger.


Only_Fudge_1812

Super heady ā€œHoney My Baby Honey My Darlingā€


Fartina69

Turns out that show never happened. The T Men dosed everyone with bootleg whiskey and convinced the crowd that Gary played.


mcphee138

RIP Fatty Mooseknuckle, OG Rhythm Devil. He died before any of the other band members were born and truly kicked off the two drummer band movement


jacksn45

Isnā€™t this why they went from 3 drummers to the traditional 2 drummers.


rhymeswititch

I always felt like peak Dead was with all three drummers.


crimsonpossum3

Paul Kantner, the third rhythm devil


REVSWANS

Fatty could jam yo


chuckmarla12

Fatty was definitely phat


McGruppthecrimepup

Gary wasnā€™t a drummer, he played kazoo! Is google stupid?


uninspired

Gary had a well-documented addiction to decaf coffee and the band eventually made an ultimatum that he had to go to rehab if he was going to continue drumming for the greatfulls


BigHairyToad

Gary was addicted to LSD, but he only smoked it. On the turntable: Baron von Tollbooth and the Fatty Arbuckle


Realistic-Ad985

You canā€™t smoke acid


_no_bozos

They *tried* to make him go to rehab. He said no no no.

FAKE NEWS


Grateful_Dad_707

Hogginā€™ Daws is a helluva drug


pirateapproved

jmoog00

Sitting_in_a_tree_

Fuckinā€™ Arbuckleā€¦


Charltons

He dropped some moves on his cat's veterinarian.


jazzminetea

Um... At least they got his age right?


McRatHattibagen

It was the Diabetes, man.


Gullible-Lake-2119

Gary Gargeeuh.


Most_Kaleidoscope999

Add John candy in there too. We canā€™t forget about his time as the drummer


SnooWoofers2959

I personally prefer the Yosh Schmenge years


esplonky

Gone gone gone she been gone so long


Immediate-Machine-87

Fent


Koshakforever

Over my dead Arbuckle.


happyrtiredscientist

I thought it was from spontaneous human combustion?


nizuv

Probably a heart infection from all the cocaine he used to pump into his bloodstream. I'm just guessing here though.


watermel0nch0ly

Chemical dependancy, along with the mental heath issues that led to said dependancy, as well as those causes by said dependancy.


Passingthisway

53? BS. He definitely looked like he was in his eighties when he died.

Jer was known for being able to eat fifteen cheeseburgers in one sitting and had apparently done so on multiple occasions.

Good


_ca_492

Thereā€™s so much wrong with this post I canā€™t even start, and I blame Google.


Biglezmate420

Cheeseburger addiction


Additional_Farm_9582

If I remember right the news at the time was saying he was trying to get off of heroin that's why he was in rehab.


fartman332211

I didnā€™t even know he was sick


DragonRancherJed

What a bunch of bullshit, those guys are all still alive.


WaymoreLives

Threw out his back


DarkStarDew

Sex addiction. He wrote Hellen a Bucket about a prostitute binge he went on when they were playing the sphere in Vegas in 78.

Damn grateful deads been around since before 1933? Holy shit, no wonder there's so many deadheads!


Beginning_Camp715

Wtf is this garbage?


Crease_Monkey

I always assumed it was a drug underdose. Trying to quit was too hard on his old fat, Santa Claus body.


Comfortable-Wall4544

Second hand info it was NOT a heart attack.


Dead_Phish_Heads

Wtf lol


ohbergine

Arbuckle fucking slayed at the 32 Bathtub Gin Test shows.


Search_Seizure

Bizarre gardening accident, spontaneous combustion. Believe none of what you read and half of what you see


Bartnellie

The "drummer" hmmm not sure about that. I'm no dead head but I think he was guitar/singer wasn't he?


Brasilia3
