Anal C*nt guitarist dies after escalator fall

Providence Place Mall escalator accident Josh Martin, guitarist of defunct grindcore act Anal Cunt, reportedly passed away late Monday night after falling from an escalator at the Providence Place Mall in Providence, Rhode Island. According to WPRI, Martin "fell off an escalator from the upper level to the food court area around 10:45 p.m. and suffered severe head trauma." He later died at the Rhode Island Hospital. One witness told police that he reported seeing Martin "clowning around and riding the rail of the escalator," before falling and hitting his dead on a table in the food court below. While WPRI did not actually identity the victim, Vanyaland has confirmed via friends and family that it was indeed Martin, a resident of Pawtucket. He was 45 years-old. You may recall that last fall, Martin received some attention for heckling Gene Simmons of Kiss during a presentation in East Providence.

Is it me, or does it seem like this always happens when a 45 year-old clowns around on an escalator rail above a mall food court?

Someone reached out to hug him, and Josh slipped off the escalator, landing awkwardly with massive force on his fully erect c-ck. He shattered his c-ck (and passed away).

What the hell is a 45 year old grind guitarist doing at a mall? Going to a movie?

anonymous 5/29/2018 1:21:07 PM

45 year old who heckles Gene Simmons, clowns around riding escalators at the mall and generally acts like an insufferable idiot. Pawtucket Patriot Ale is stoked

Are Tim and Shitbreath Fred okay? Someone close to the food court chime in.

The escalators that go to the movies and Dave and busters go up from the food court. What a dumb dumb.

Of course Bedard is a cuck. You think a 55 year old can perform with these young 16 year olds? No. That's what a bull is for. Bedard does the prep and clean up.

Hitting his dead. Nice
