I haven't seen any mention of Jason throughout these sad days since the passing of Denis. I really don't mean to post this as some kind of shit-slinging towards him, as I'm sure he's devastated, but I'm just surprised to see nothing from him on any music sites. Maybe I just missed it, though...

I think perhaps he couldn't make it because of the hurricane?
Poor guy must be devastated.
Hope he is ok.

I don't know the reason for why Jason wasn't at the ceremony, but what I do know is that there were many who wanted to be in attendance but couldn't.

It’s probably not worth singling him out of the entire bunch just because he might be an easier target for such criticism.

The most important thing is that he issue statements, condolences, support to family and friends of Piggy. I'm sure he did that privately. Any public statement is just that, a public statement. Speaking for myself, I don't need it.

That should close this topic. Period.

If Jason had made some big public statement about it, that would have been the only thing anyone heard. Jason Newsted, formerly of Metallica, blah, blah, blah...

I think he did the right thing, and I'm sure the next time he's interviewed he'll have many kind words to say.

I agree with that, and Jason has probably thought long and hard about whether he should make a statement or not. I think that his silence is more likely to be a mark of respect towards Blacky, Away, and Snake than anything else.

Making a statement is easy. It may well be harder for him to stay silent.

great point

I'm sure Jason is doing what he feels is best for the band and more importantly whats best for his friends. Those guys have a long history together, and he certainly wouldn't be using something like this for publicity, which would be in bad taste.

silence is golden... metal is forever

Keep it heavy. Keep it golden! Keep it metal!

theres only so many double kick drum'd songs with singers shouting the F word you can take before it becomes extremely dull.

I heard through the grapevine that Jason chose not to go to the funeral to avoid creating a distraction. I don't know if he went to the wake.

Apparently, Jason paid for the whole thing.

Well, Kasstor, if the grapevine is correct, that was a nice gesture of his. The kind of thing that makes me respect him even more.

"Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."
