This is fucked up...
    #5836972 - 07/08/06 09:37 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

according to Rolling Stone ( i cant find the obituary online)

vince welnick died of a depressin induced suicide....the obituary says that Welnick has been depressed over never being asked to participate in the Grateful Dead reunion tours......

i find that to be fucked up....and i was always left scratching my head as to why Vince was never included in "The Dead"...

After Jerry Garcia died Bob Weir gave Vince a chance and they toured together as part of Ratdog briefly. But overwhelmed by Jerry's passing, Vince tried taking his own life on the Ratdog tour bus by downing a bunch of pills. That was in '95 I believe. He almost succeeded in killing himself. After that, I think the remaining Grateful Dead just didn't want to deal with that any more. Don't forget that the GD's previous keyboard player (Brent Mydland) killed himself from a speedball od.

Aside from that, Vince (rest his soul) really wasn't that great of a keyboard player in my opinion and in lots of peoples' opinions.

When they had that Grateful Dead family reunion in Berkeley last summer I agree that it wouldn't have killed them to invite Vince on stage for a few songs. But they didn't. But the only person responsible for the death of Vince Welnick was himself, nuff said.

there was a really strongly worded article on his website right after his death, basically saying "fuck you bobby, fuck you phil" :frown:

i guess he played a show in some dive bar here last summer (i wasn't living here at the time, unfortunately), and nobody even knew he was Vince Welnick of the tubes and the dead..
