Joe Siracuse, vocalist of Buffalo, NY death metal band

shot and paralyzed by an armed robber last October.

Joe was clean for almost two years to anyone that cares; but I too wouldn't be surprised if his recent breakup forced him to relapse. Such a good guy, gone too soon.
RIP Joe

Why do people always have to add in "Don't really like this band" or "not into this band" when sending condolences. Its pointless. Sucks he died.

Used to be young when this band first started. Got my parents to drive me to the nearby towns they played. Loved these guys. Guitarist moshed like a madman before the incident that left him paralyzed and now this happens. Shitty news. Nicest fucking guys. And that's the nicest thing you are ever gonna read from me on a shit site like this one you fucking gays.

He had a family and friends who truly loved him and where proud of him. Please think before you speak. He was loved and will be missed even more. If you dont have anything nice to say then shut up.

Its funny how when an innocent girl dies at warped tour, everyone says how glad they are that she's dead, but when the vocalist of a shit band like this one dies, everyone is practically crying. What a fucked up group of pricks.
Shitty band. Shitty fanbase.

Fuck that shit. If he did die because of drugs then fuck him. He deserved it. And maybe his family should have stepped in and stopped it. Addicts are weak. The world is better off without them.

welcome to the internet. also, its 2012, since you have been asleep in a cave for a couple decades.

Driving a car is a thousand times more dangerous than drugs, you dumb fuck. You and your children will deserve it when you burn to death on the side of the highway in your Ford Focus.

It's easy to talk shit behind a veil of anonymity. Grow a pair of balls and don't respond if you don't like the band.

That's just an ignorant statement. People drive card out of necessity, and yes there is a risk of death, but drugs destroy your body, period. And drugs are a choice. Go pop more of your grandmas pain meds you fucking cum rag.
Ps. I drive a Hyundai. Eat a dick.

Just because you have the freedom and the ability to camp out on this god forsaken website talking shit on people who die doesn't necessarily mean it's the thing to do. Occasionally it's funny if you REALLY desensitize yourself to it, but in reality most of you goats are a serious waste of atoms. RIP

^^^^^ im pretty sure I originally said 'if' he died from drugs. People jumped all over me like hipsters on an Instagram photo op. I have respect for the dead, and sympathy for people's loved ones, but when your own shitty decisions and complete disregard for your body and the people who do love you, leads to your death, then I have no pity for you. That doesn't just go for some guy in a band, but my own friends and FAMILY as well.

dude, it must be so rad to have such strong morals and such devout belief that if one of your family members died of a drug related incident you would bring the posthumous pain. Keep the flame burning, son.

Fake. Two faced assholes you know who you are. R.I.P Joe. You will be misssed

I played with these dudes in some tiny place in the middle of nowhere, no one showed up for them.
Having one dude already be shot, I can't help but think that something sketchy is going on within this band and their personal lives.
Anyway, a life lost is still a bad thing. RIP dude.

If you know nothing about them then how about you stop spitting lies about how "sketechy" their personal lives where. By saying that it shows how little you know.

A lot of people posting here are outsiders when it comes to the situation at hand. Some of you know more than I care to admit, some of you clearly are making baseless assumptions off of meeting someone a handful of times at shows or meeting them at one show. Let the dead rest, save the drama for the next Emmure feud.

Couldn't agree more. Tony Lorenzo and everyone that was wishing death on this kid and threatening to beat the shut out of him were the first to post pictures, fake status updates for attention. Karma is a bitch though. RIP Joe, should've been them.

Joe was amazing. we need more people like him; someone who would give you his last dollar, the shirt off his back, or both.
My heart aches knowing he is gone & it's been too long since our paths have crossed. RIP my dear friend, I grieve for you and the pain you have experienced. You will be missed & I will honour you just as you have honoured those who left your life.
Bad decisions are bad decisons; we all make them. (to you self righteous dicks)
