Why'd he do it?
>>
>>128839805
What is this hairline called?
>>
I mean, he laid out his mindset pretty clearly on Purple Mountains, and said before it came out that he had a shit load of debt and if it the album didnt make alot of money hed be done. Pretty open and shut case.

>>128839805
Raffi?

The "baby please dont go", baby in this case being the rest of the hair

>light of my life is going out tonight without a flicker of regret
he made a whole album telling you why, he had that shit planned for sure.
I like this comfy pic of him in his home studio very much, the stepladder work flow is top tier, big F for a based jew
>>
>depressed for entire life
>drug overdose caused permanent brain damage (his music output and quality of said output dropped off right around that point too)
>supposedly a NEET for a decade being supported by wife who would end up leaving him
>broke
>tens of thousands in credit card debt
>homeless - sleeping on floor of record label's office
in his final podcast interview he pretty much said he was an adult child who failed at life. he even wanted purple mountains to be an "incel" album for all the lonely young men to listen to, that might inspire them to take responsibility for their lives.
>>
>>128839827
That hairline is absolute cinema

The state should really just give some people a pension for their service to the arts. Nothing fancy, but enough to live on. DB might've not have had much juice left in the tank writing-wise (ie not up to his standards) but him being driven to suicide is shameful. If the reactions to his death are anything to go by, plenty of people would've vouched for him.
>>
>>128839805
His ex-wife was dating a black guy. Not even joking
>>
Trust fund hack, his dad is literally worth millions
>>
>>128840541
he didn't choose to be born to a guy nicknamed "dr. evil". he disowned himself from the family.
>>
>>128840580
Still doesn't change the fact he was a nepobaby rich kid
>>
>>128840616
Berman never benefited from nepotism in his music career. He threw away any opportunity his father ever gave him in his life
>>
HE WAS A REBEL JEW
AND HE DIED FOR YOU
>>
>>128840499
artists get all sorts of handouts. especially jewish ones so idk what his problem was. spent too much of it on drugs probably.
>>
>>128841264
There's still an implied benefit to having opportunities to throw away. He also doubtless received good education, music lessons, assorted gay privvies of a wealthy upbringing that serve you for a lifetime
>>
>>128841292
Do you know anything about Berman or his life? It sure doesn't seem like it. He quite actively rated against everything his father stood for, disowned him and died practically penniless. You can't choose your blood but he's pretty far from a nepo baby. Fuck off with that shit.
>>
>>128841362
*raged
>>
Like Weininger before him he realized the truth about Judaism
>>
>>128841395
nah, he went to Israel and seemed to really get into it. look it up on youtube
>>
>>128842040
If he'd have only invested his pitchfork money in Palestinian slaves, he'd be a jewish millionaire by now
>>
>>128841292
berman wasn't that good of a musician and none of the silver jews songs are musically complex. he always needed a band around him to bring the songs out beyond the basic guitar chord progression, melody, and lyrics. he was more like jim morrison.
>>
>>128841292
I have a feeling Jews take up a lot of space in your brain
>>
>>128843403
Children of the wealthy and influential turn out to be pretty weird people. Berman seems like he was made of the same stuff as Rob Reiner's kid, except this one ended up directing his violence inward
>>
>>128843886
I don't get that vibe at all from Dave. He seemed like a thoughtful and articulate person who had a lot of demons.
>>
>>128839827
the 4chan haircut

How so?

>>128840523
Proofs?

>He threw away any opportunity his father ever gave him in his life
Elaborate?
>>128841395
Rundown?
>>
>>128839805
His last record was pretty mediocre
>>
>>128846971
He had nothing to do with his father for decades. Actively went out of his way to disparage him. Pretty sure he was cut off from most of his family. Pretty much died broke and living off of small royalty checks in a tiny room above his labels office.
>>128846985
Best thing he ever did. Shut up.
>>
>>128843902
Indeed, that is exactly how Reiner's kid has been described in the press these last few days
>>
>>128847350
>Best thing he ever did
Not even fit to be in the same conversation as BRIGHT FLIGHT, let alone the likes of NATURAL BRIDGE and AMERICAN WATER.
>>
>>128847861
It's all landfill shite, you don't have to defend hipster garabe like this anymore.

>Leave a detailed suicide note of an album
>do interviews saying youre basically done
>"whyd he do it :("
>>
>>128847570
Don't think Dave was wandering around homeless in the streets and acting like an autist at parties. Again, you're trying very hard to make this happen and it doesn't fit
>>128847861
All are fine albums. Love them to pieces. Purple Mountains is still the best. Cry about it
>>
>>128846954
he was a complete basket case and also had this weird guilt-complex about accepting money from people. read the articles about the recording of natural bridge. when he was the creative lead of something he couldn't handle the pressure, had breakdowns, didn't sleep, flaked out on recording sessions wasting thousands of dollars. this was all in the mid 90s so it only got worse from there.
>>
>>128839827
The Asmongold.
>>
>>128849008
also treatment resistant depression. even malkmus' twitter eulogy was basically
>he suffered for his entire life hopefully he's at peace now
