RIP
He was too young.
I still admire this track, with or without vocals.

 

If you asked me two days ago, I could tell you a hundred things I don't like about his music, presentation, attitude, aso.. And I still think exactly the same about that. But the fact I disagree with how someone lives his/her life doesn't make it right to wish he/she was dead at such young age..

If you want a speculation about COD.. he was suffering acute pancreatitis (I had it.. one of most painful and deadly diseases, usually caused by excessive drinking and/or stress. In my case, it was a side effect of a damn medicine). He had his gallbladder and appendix removed.. you can add drug abuse or whatever, but IMO these days pharmaceutical industry is far more dangerous the the ol' drugs.

So, yeah, R.I.P. This just isn't right..

 

May HE rest in peace.
May He be creative in any realm of existence he is in right now.
May His music inspire young people to create, have fun & smile.
May his music & death not be misused.
May everyone on this thread be respectful to his Life,to His Family & Friends,Fans.
He did not do anything wrong in the "music industry"
The U.S ,Hollywood,New York & so on are lands of opportunity, they don't destroy anyone.
People saying this imho don't really have a clue/experience & for sure did not know him personally.
Respect His Journey & Path.
I really appreciated His Spark when He was creating His music & His fast workflow.
He is a humble & straightforward guy.
Sad that He is not with us to make an underground dark techno record, while doing more commercial stuff & making people have fun & dance around the world.
He IS AVICII.

 

@Backtired , @foster911 , "deep in absurdity".
People like you hate on other musicians either cause you don't like their kind of music (some peeps around here hate on whatever's "EDM related") or either cause you don't like their kind of lifestyle they chose for their artistry.

Some of you might say here and there "that electronic crap is not music" without actually looking beyond the "body" of the songs Avicii for example Composed.
Others also might think that "real music is based on real instruments, otherwise..."

Listen to this song, portrays Avicii's composition, in the acoustic version. Acoustic or Electronic, nothing is gonna take Avicii's ownership away on that song:

If some of you (Electronic music haters) would've listened to this song for the first time, you would've said "such a nice song", without ever realizing that there was actually an EDM producer behind it.

Also, about alcohol, drugs, women, etc. Is this TRULLY new to you??? When your favourite rock, blues, etc. artists (from whatever era you're coming from) abused it and you found out about it on the news, you didn't make such comments or judgements on their either sentence nor death.

Also, this guy earned over 1 mil $ during his 18teens, he was still a kid and he earned that through his own music making and gigging. (his net worth was nearly 100mil$ now, based on 85mil$ last year.)

YOU, people who judge upon his "lifestyle" and circumstances, would've you handled it better if you were in his shoes and life scenario?

Those perfectionist priests can't touch either him, nor (especially) his achievements now.







You may rest in peace, Tim Bergling.

 

Amazed and dismayed to see the amount of hate some people have in their hearts... Your lives must be really sucky for you to hate someone so much...and someone whom you've never even met...that you are happy when he dies...i am sorry for you guys... I really am...

 

I loved some of Avicii songs @Evorax and still listen to them today, I don't judge any lifestyle or anything lol I just said I can't feel sorry for him that's all.

I don't understand why you guys keep reading or answering to Foster btw

 

Vade in Pace Avicii. Your music will live on. Thanks to life that we got the chance to know about you and hear your music.

 

Quite "interesting" how tacky some people react here.

At least, about no one should be said he/she deserves death because of bad music (taste), habit, attituide, drug or alcohol addiction unless he/she is a (mass-) murderer.

 

You guys make it look like the guy deserved it, because his music is not your thing.
Fact is, is he made more millions then you will ever make, and off course he has musical abilities.

I'm not a fanboi, and I did not watch the documentary at all. But he seems like a introverted guy, with perhaps some anxiety issues. I mean, how difficult would that be? He was constantly surrounded by people, had to put a fake smile all the time. Eventually you get crazy and you want back to your PC or what ever and do your own thing. Alot of artists do drugs, because of these reasons. Look at deadmau5 his face for example :D Jesus christ.

R.I.P.

 

Mainstream or not, pop or not, electronic or acoustic, that song/video i posted above is a clear evidence of how wrong you are about "generalizing" a record as something that if it doesn't connect with your Personally, then it's toxic for everyone else. I mean, he's never produced about drugs, b**ches, and other rap/trap related stuff. Most of his records are about love and other meaningful aspects of being human. Yet, generalizing is the new cool and "different" nowadays i guess.

@Backtired , sorry for misunderstanding your post. indeed Foster911 seems to be the troll king, especially after stumbling across some of his threads (lol).

 

Wasn't defendable? Really? Why does anybody's music need to be "defended"?

His music gave joy and happiness to millions... And thats much much more than most of us here... he was just a young boy... And now he's dead... And its tragic... On every single level of humanity...

 

Guys/Gals,

We created this sub-forum to pay respects to the dead not to bash or fill with hate. All posts that are not paying respect will be or have been removed.

What's happening to humanity?


Rip Avicii

 

agree totally with you and with Introninja above

some people are simply pigs and they leave a terrible pig stench in every thread they touch.

.

 

Watched it a moment ago.
The whole thing is like a necrologue. A lot of the comments in past tense, as if he was dead at the time when the BBC filmed the documentation. Quite horrific (when you watch it today)

One wants fame, wants to be a star?
Be careful what you dream of, it could come true.

 

@foster911 ... Bro i read your comment before it got deleted...

Damn bro... Just take it easy man... If you dont like a type of music just dont listen to it... Whats with the fricking denouncement???

Are you like an extremist religious fanatic?

 

That looks like dictatorship....I think that anybody can leave his opinion even if I disagree with these people.
Letting people talking allow us to know the different members too.

 

@twoheart I think they used the past tense because he just had ended his career, but I noticed that as well and in hindsight it sounds pretty shocking.

Also hope his manager regrets (at least a bit) what he said back then. Crazy dude..

 

For Causes and health You can read that Article here that explains all about pancreatitis and his removal of appendix This is so sad Pancreas diseases get a Lot of Musicians

 

I am not familar with his work as I do not listen to dance stuff but even I have heard of the guy plus I would likely know one of his tracks or remixes probably despite not being able to put a name to it.

That is absolutely horrible news to hear, That age is not even having the chance to reach true peak/potential and all other things that are to look forwards to in life.

As He's so young, I would guess that He has been doing his thing since a very young teenager and got noticed for the talent He had as teenager still, Mayb e seventeen or eighteen years old, As I have noticed that about a number of contempary big name EDM guys, So I'm also going to assume that He was rather prolific aswell as possessing a lot of talent.

Even as guy that rarely hears much EDM, I still think regardless that it is a damned great loss, Just from a brief glance at what fellow user's here have said about Him and His work.

Creating, Tracking, Mixing and Mastering are one thing, Even though none of them are by any means easy/simple that any individual or group of individual's are able to do with ease, However the one area I found the most challenging whilst playing in bands was live performance, It is a whole different world and artform in of itself, Having long hair and lots of facial hair to essentially hide behind was something which I resorted to as it was never an enivroment I felt anywhere close to comfortable in, That was with at least two other people on stage also, So I can only try to imagine going up in front of an audience solo along with the size of an audience that gather at festivals for example, They are just so vast, I feel sick just in my imagination how daunting and overwhelming it must be!

Rough news and RIP to the man, thinking of His family, loved one's and close friend's, They will be devastated and it'll take so long to even begin to start the heeling process for them no doubt.

All the best to all as always, On behalf of my family and myself to your families, loved one's and close friends, Those that are most important to you and are always there for you and have your back and vice versa, Nothing can come close to how crucially We need one another.

Peace

Dean and family

 

"Why Throw Dirt, if your not the immediate Family?"

If you wish you can take this up with @SAiNT , Think about this for a second.

Foster can't reply to you here, as i removed him from this thread.
