Catcher ... the original recording, not the one on the album.

Oh then it must be him. I had been hoping it was a mistake, a misunderstanding or whatever.
I now remember he said stuff about having a Welsh heritage, so when you posted this link and I looked it up and I saw his real name I was quite surprised.

It's him. That's where I met him. I invited him to our old site and then he came here and posted for maybe a year or so. After the album came out, I didn't see him again although more than likely he just used a different screen name.
He was just a kid, 14 I think.
Died at 27.

He won some sort of lottery and his girlfriend paid 5 guys to kill him.
What a tragedy and a waste.
Speaking of his youth, he was in that unique crop of teenagers who hit the GNR forums in 2006-07.
Forums haven't seen a youth influx of that magnitude since...and never will again.
That's odd, it sounds like a different person from who I have in mind. I am pretty sure he once said his family was from England and they had moved to the US when he was a small kid. He mentioned Texas, I think.
He was also at GNR2K. Alongside Efish. 
Such a terrible thing to happen to him.

Happy new year to everyone.

Well said. When I think about things that happened in 2020 and 2021 I sometimes get confused because the years feel uniquely similar.
I feel exactly the same. And I think 2022 might be pretty much the same as last year and some of 2020 (I mean the parts without lockdowns
). I am getting my third vaccine in a few days. I wonder how many injections per month we will be getting by this time next year? 
Nobody else here dying. Found out this year that Tommie and Robman are dead.
I don't like the sudden disappearance of Pasnow. He was always here...even during the lean years.
I remember a Robman from Finck Fans. If that's the same guy, he had great taste in music. He was just a kid, 14 I think. But he listened to Aerosmith, Elton John, George Harrison... while other kids his age were all into Akon. Actually, I can thank him for getting me to expand my musical library, got me off Gn'R a little bit. He can't have been more than 29 or 30... Really sad.
RIP, Robman and Tommie

I've hesitated to post this since there are a few not to be named douchebags that won't understand what I am saying; however for the greater good (and maybe so reasonable people will understand where I am (and have been)) coming from I will make the post.
On Wednesday, I got a call from a friend's wife that someone at her husband's work tested positive for Covid-19 (without any symptoms). Last Sunday I played golf with him and we shared a cart. He has been tested (and is isolating), and those results should come early this coming week. I'm not overly concerned. I saw him now 6 days ago...he feels fine, I feel fine. By the time he gets his results, it will have been 8 days or so, which is close to the end of the period of concern (unless they've moved the goalposts on that again).
I was out Wednesday when I got that call. I came straight home immediately and haven't left the house since then. As I said, I am not worried, but that doesn't mean I am going to be disrespectful towards others and possibly put them at risk regardless of how low that risk is. It isn't up to me to decide for them what level of risk they should tolerate. It is possible to feel the way I feel about the virus without being completely disrespectful to the people around you. Once all is clear, I plan to return to life as I have been living it.
I've never said the virus was a hoax. I've said we handled the response wrong. I still believe that. If I happen to get it and it kills me, I will STILL believe that (well, at least until I die). It's a risk management decision people should be allowed to make for themselves.
You are doing the right thing. Don't pay attention to what others are saying.

One of the girls used to be in a band with someone I knew.

@osiris: I don't think it is a muscle... It reminds me of old smokers who try to cough.
@atari: Thank you.
Hopefully everyone here is fine.
I was reading about this Chinese author and thought I would share.
She Kept a Diary of China’s Epidemic. Now She Faces a Political Storm.
“If authors have any responsibilities in the face of disaster, the greatest of them is to bear witness.” Here are excerpts from the author Fang Fang’s controversial chronicle of life and death in Wuhan.
As Wuhan was engulfed by the coronavirus, the Chinese author Fang Fang worked late into the night, writing a daily chronicle of life and death in her home city that gave rise to a global pandemic.
Her online diary, though sometimes censored, became vital reading for tens of millions of Chinese readers — a plain-spoken, spontaneous view into Wuhan residents’ fears, frustrations and hopes during their 11 weeks under lockdown in their homes.
Her account has recently drawn bitter condemnation from zealous Chinese nationalists who have called plans to publish a translation in English an effort to malign the government and undermine the heroic image of Wuhan.
Fang Fang, who uses her pen name rather than her birth name, Wang Fang, said that she did not want to be cast as either a cheerleader for the government, or as a reflexively embittered critic. She called herself a witness, highlighting the bravery of doctors, street cleaners and neighbors helping neighbors, while vowing to hold to account officials who let the virus spread.“If authors have any responsibilities in the face of disaster, the greatest of them is to bear witness,” she said in an interview. “I’ve always cared about how the weak survive great upheavals. The individuals who are left out — they’ve always been my chief concern.”
