Teen rocks to his death

[Kevin Taylor]

This is really funny.. unless you're him...

[SINGAPORE] - A teenage guitarist got so carried away while bouncing up and down on his bed mimicking a rock star that he catapulted out of a third-floor window to his death, a Singapore newspaper reported yesterday.

[Cryptic Excretions]

The only thing that would make that kind of death cooler is if it was made into a music video. What better way can you go? Rocking yourself to death... I have a new goal in life.

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

that's how I want to die

just not for another 60 years or so..

[jiujitsu_jesus]

That's horrible... would've been kinda funny to watch, though...

[Hammurabi]

I wonder if he was actually holding a guitar or not.

[acapella]

Hahahaha, yeah, that sounds like teenagers these days.

[earthman buck]

Man, I hope that's the way I go. The only thing that'd make that cooler would be if he played a kickass solo all the way down.

[acapella]

You know, that sounds like a line from an awful metal song. "Rock yourself to death, in this cradle of pain" or something.

[stackny]

Im sorry but thats like the 3rd funniest thing ever.

[acapella]

That's number three...what's the first two? Fat kids falling down is in there somewhere...

[z0s0_jp]

here is a true gruesome one.......guy on roof gets to the edge to jump the one story to the ground.....facing forward feet first he jumps but does not reach the ground because of the old fridge under the eave with it's old time metal pull handle that looks like a walrus tusk sticking up(inverted)you may know the kind.......that's right!!!! it went up his booty so there he was dangling in pain til his brothers helped him off it -----thirty some odd stitches:eek: i went to high school and knew his brother and the guy told me .....i cringed

[Akira]

I'm trying my hardest to be sympathetic but I can't, that's just too damn funny!

[elklandercc]

The Cheney hunting video!! (http://www.youtube.com/?v=w_X5ryBGHGA) , I find this to be one of the funniest videos I've seen in the past few months.

[PonyOne]

bummer :( poor kid, his parents must be heartbroken...

but it must be said, that is probably one of the most absolutely unequivocally hardcore rockstar imitations ever. he should be made an honorary rockstar and allowed into that special corner of hell where the dead rocks stars dwell :cool:

[bigbuda]

reminds me of the story about the three little monkeys. No more monkeys jumping on the bed. :D

[rockonn91]

yeah, that is DEFINATLY the best way to go.

[Tonja_Renee]

How do they know that was what he was doing - were there any witnesses... Or was he just found on the ground with his guitar in hand....

I couldn't imagine watching that in person - I don't know what I would do - Cry or LMAO....

[rockonn91]

I don't know what I would do - Cry or LMAO....
or both.... :p

[Cryptic Excretions]

Laugh so hard that you cry?

[rockonn91]

as i said! haha

[Tonja_Renee]

I don't know - when I picture someone jumping on their bed so hard that they projectiile out the window.....lol

My bed is not that bouncy - well I haven't jumped on my bed lately - at least not pretending to be a Rock Star anyways.

And how big would that window have to be, to clear right through it without hitting the sides.. Maybe he did, but its funnier to picture if he didn't....

[rockonn91]

i have a loft bed. its about 3 feet from the ceiling. so i dont have to worry about that.

[bigbuda]

He clearly had a skylight in his room. :D

I can think of better ways to die than bouncing myself out a window. :rolleyes:

[PonyOne]

i wonder what he was rocking out to?

[rockonn91]

i wonder what he was rocking out to?
GREENDAY!!!

YESSS!

*gag*

[Cryptic Excretions]

GREENDAY!!!

YESSS!

*gag*
I'd jump out of a window if I was listening to them too.

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

I'd jump out of a window if I was listening to them too.
I'll second that

good charlette is worse IMO though..

[earthman buck]

I'll second that

good charlette is worse IMO though..
And I'll second that.

[iiholly]

This is why rock n' roll is evil kids.

[rockonn91]

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

yeah, lots of people around here liked them. I know of one girl in particular.. I've known her since I was 5.. yeah, she liked them.. but it's ok, she's really hot, so it's forgivable.

God bless superficiality.

maybe he went too far at the chorus...

Just when you thought it was safe to do crotch thrusts on your bed!!!

YOU WERE WRONG!!!

Does anyone else find this thread the tiniest bit morbid?

[Cryptic Excretions]

Does anyone else find this thread the tiniest bit morbid?
Next to some of the things that I've seen, this thread is pretty easy to digest.

[PonyOne]

hey, on the VW forum I post on, there was a thread about some idiot woman in NH without a revoked license who managed to rent an Explorer and loaded it with an adult friend, their children and another few kids (friends and cousins, all under 9)... I think there were 9 people in total in the truck, which was only meant to hold 5 people... and not one human being in the vehicle was belted in... she lost control at 120 mph from weaving between lanes and crashed; it rolled over a few times and through a treeline before ending up in a ditch.

We were all having a pretty good "WTF" session, and then it died down. A few months later the thread was back and her townie relatives had found it, were telling us we were callous jerks and it was a police conspiracy (?)... it was actually pretty damn funny... but in any case yeah, you don't even want to approach what I said back to them. What can I say? Some people deserve it...

Nice dude, always good to get a little "real world" accountability.

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

dude.. pm me a link to that thread of the message board!

[PonyOne]

dude.. pm me a link to that thread of the message board!
I'll see if I can find it... yeah... it was a reality check for everyone in the thread (watch what you say about stupid people who kill their kids; their relatives may be reading) and the relatives (watch what you say in defense of your idiot relatives ho killed their kids to a group of people who have already tracked down every article and report available on the internet in regards to the situation about conspiracy theories that somehow supplant not belting in anyone in a car that was holding just shy of double its capacity and thus further your psychological trauma).

[Kevin Taylor]

Does anyone else find this thread the tiniest bit morbid?

In all fairness, we should at least mention who he was.

The teens name was Li Xiao Meng, and he was a 16-year-old business student, from China. He regularly got together with friends in the hostel they were staying at to smoke and listen to tunes.
Apparently, he got a little too carried away and bounced out the window.
His father, Li Zhong Yuan, 58, expressed sorrow over what
happened to his only child.
“Now he’s gone and at my age, I don’t think I can have another child,” he said.

So from everybody at Guitar Tricks, our most sincere sympathies to his family.
Li should be made an honorary Guitar Tricks member or something.

[Guitar_guy]

YOU NEED TO GROW UP FINGERSOFSHAME!!!! I wish I was a Mod you would be gone in a heart beat. :mad:

[acapella]

That's weird...he's still here.

[PonyOne]

Well wasn't that interesting.

Li Xiao Meng, we salute you.

Gentlemen and women, 21 Stratocaster salute.

[Kevin Taylor]

.. oh he's more than gone. The more he posts, the more ammunition we've got to permanently get his internet service removed.
We've got his ISP... soon as I get a chance I'm gonna track this guy down and spend the next week making his life a misery.

Thats what I was thinking log all I.P addresses people are so dumb they don't know how for you can go to find where they live .

[acapella]

Right on man. People like fingers don't deserve things like happiness.

[fingersofflame3]

hello...i just wanted to apologize for my sons rude and abrupt behavior...he is only 13 and was up on the computer when i told him that he was grounded from it for two weeks because i caught him spamming on another site...ultimateguitar i think...anyway, i am deeply sorry for any trouble that my son has caused...please do not press any charges or anything like that, he is only 13...and trust me, he will be grounded for a very long time...

[Kevin Taylor]

Understandable but not an excuse.
You are responsible for anyone using your computer through your ISP.
We are also responsible for fully investigating and reporting all incidents of abuse.

Investigate! REPORT!!!!

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

21 stratocaster... and one SG!!

and yeah, report that dude.. I don't care if you're his dad, and you apologize for it, how am I to know you're his dad? consequences are necessary for learning

[jeffhx]

wats happening? what did he do

[acapella]

Some guy named fingersofflame kept coming on and just saying swears and names of body parts, making fun of people calling them names and being offensive overall. He must have been banned, because he returned as fingersofflame2 and fingersofflame3. On three, his "dad" apologized (after he was threatened with investigation and reporting) saying he would punish his "son", so dont worry about it. And here we are. I say report, somebody deserves to be punished for that.

[magicninja]

Hats off to Schmange and PonyOne and some other mod. Had they not been here poor jeff would have been scandalized.

[bigbuda]

Track him down Schmange and treat'em like the guy that trashed your pad. :D

[jeffhx]

That Wit!! Offffff With His Heaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddd!!!!!!!!

[Leedogg]

He was a busy little munchkin wasn't he?

[jiujitsu_jesus]

For all we know, he's not a "little munchkin" at all... he may be some university-age hacker who spends his time harassing people on the web. Remember, the only evidence we have that he's thirteen years old is the post from his "dad".

[rockonn91]

yarrr.

i never get to see the show untill afterwards when they get banned. :(

[elklandercc]

yarrr.

i never get to see the show untill afterwards when they get banned. :(
I missed it as well, anyone care to fill in the straglers?

[jeffhx]

maybe he's just bored... like me right now

[earthman buck]

Is GT under legal obligation to remove all swearing and stuff from the site? Cuz if not, I think jerks like that should be banned, but their posts should stay. That way those who missed out on all the action would get to read for themselves what happened.

[magicninja]

It's more of a moral obligation. ;)

[earthman buck]

It's more of a moral obligation. ;)
Fair enough, I guess.

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

ooh man, I saw one post from that guy and I was like... dude.. this fool is goin down!!! these are the times I wish I was a mod, then I would drag his sorry buttocks to the ground! I hope you make his life a hell. this guy was practically pissing on the ground where Li Xiao Meng was burried! this is unacceptable

[Akira]

Sounds to me he is just scared that he is going to have charges pressed on him for what he done so now he fakes like he is someones dad, this person could be 20 to 30 who knows, I would have to have some proof of who he really is.

[Cryptic Excretions]

Whoah... I missed something... What the hell happened?

[Lordathestrings]

Whoah... I missed something... What the hell happened?

Just some immature potty-mouth spammer. Everyone move along, please. Show's over.

[acapella]

By the way, what time is it in Malaysia? Here in Canada it is 3:15 am

[jeffhx]

*offers another beer to acapella

[acapella]

Oh, so pretty early then. Me, I don't sleep, I only go on GT.

[jeffhx]

yea me too... its pretty addictive... the only thing imhoping for isa significant improvement in guitar... i mean it haschanged it quite significantly... but im hoping for more...as i said in the other thread... the quest for guitar perfection is neverending...

[acapella]

I don't care so much about the guitar, im more in it for the tricks ;)

[jeffhx]

thats probably because youre good enough already...i just started last october.. and have heaps to catch up on... im envious of the ppl here...really...still trying my best...i just feel i have not been progressing much enough... of course.. there's the tricks as well... im waaay behind mate...

[acapella]

GT has the funniest ppl on earth...never fails to amuse me... i was so bored i decided toannoy my sister that was trying to watch tv in the living room by playing songs... god help me...

[Jolly McJollyson]

You could always venture to the chat.

[jeffhx]

true..but how do i do that?

[acapella]

Oh look, your back! Well actually it isn't late...it's really quite early. On that note I think I will go to bed for real now, so I can go to sleep tomorrow night and go to school in the morning.

[Jolly McJollyson]

true..but how do i do that?
Where it says "WELCOME, jeffhx." in the upper right, look slightly down and to the left.

There's a maroon bar that reads "Account FAQ Members List Chat" etc.
