Arsonists Get All The Girls Bassist Dies At Age 21

Arsonists Get All The Girls bassist Pat Mason has passed away at age twenty-one. The band has issued the following statement:

"We can't describe the pain and sorrow that we all are feeling right now. Last night/early this morning our bassist, Pat Mason, passed away. Pat was an amazing person and brother to all of us. It was his 21st birthday and we all got to see him at band practice. He then proceeded to go out to the bars. He went to sleep at a friend's house. We don't know the full details but when friends tried to wake him up this morning he didn't wake up. We could never trade him for the world and could never replace him. We will always love him and will always be in our hearts. We are going to continue with the band cause that is what Pat would have wanted. There will be a donation account set up soon for his family and possibly a local benefit show as well. Thanks for everyone for the support that the band has since the beginning. We love you all and Pat loves you all as well."

sounds like someone partied a little too hard. i guess it sucks that he died, but from the way it sounds its far from a tragedy in my opinion. as much as i hate this band its still a shame that someone died that young from dumb decisions though.

to post 3...i doubt it was partying considering there is only one guy in the band that is not straight edge and its not him. that is aweful news. you jump to conclusions without knowing the details of the situation, I love it. of course everyone hates this band because they are actually trying to do something a little bit different and creative with their sound. they are awesome and I hope they continue after they overcome this tragedy.

metalmayhem maybe you should actually read the article. i think this sums it up.

It was his 21st birthday and we all got to see him at band practice. He then proceeded to go out to the bars. He went to sleep at a friend's house.

hmmmm. edge huh? so is he just watching other people drink? and no, they arent doing anything creative. theyre just some daughters or locust wannabes.

if you are comparing a band to the locust or daughters, chances are there is some creativity there... either way, its terrible that he is dead at 21.

if i died from getting waaaay too drunk on my 21st birthday, yea, i would totally deserve it. its too bad that he died, but i mean its not like it was an accident. he set out to get drunk. when you use any drug its a decision that you make and you have to accept the consequences of those actions. if he died from a horrible tragedy it would be different but he didnt; he died of because of his own decisions.

Well they made a different contribution to music but they made an impact so there's a good reason why they are still kicking.

I'd have to say, most of the metalheads who've died so far, including this one, are idiots in themselves. Thanks to a fully known drinking problem, this guy died. HIS FAULT. They are creating their own demise, so I have litte or no sympathy for them. And ur mom should get some education. ilol.

Maybe you should use this to say rest in piece istead of fighting with each other.
They were metal.
He was a good bass player.
And it was his fault.
But who gives a f***? Someone died and maybe you should show a bit of respect instead of being little b****es.

People don't realize what effect drinking yourself stupid can have on your body. Although we can't jump to conclusions yet, because no details have been released on the cause, it could have been heart failure or too many sleeping pills? but by looking at the story so far, it looks as if he has drunk himself into his demise. But nevertheless, he was just a kid, and it's horrible to see another young one dead.
