Late due to work but I'll miss our gothic king I remember watching his rants with some friends when he was live or posted a video and just enjoying the show. Hate that redditors and losers had to destroy him just because he said fag or was living off the state partially. Hopefully he is showing Ozzy some sick food hacks and doesn't have to deal with the pains he had to live with anymore.
Fly high you cool Cobra TWU

I can't say I liked marty, but him whooping Cyraxx's ass was so wholesome. The best part was that in the tussle between a morbidly obese man and a literal goblin Cyraxx dropped his ring like he was a defeated trash enemy dropping loot in diablo.
 
Im not surprised by this news especially after Ozzy's death a few weeks ago.
RIP,
Maybe he'll finally ve reunited with Puff up in heaven

He basically liked Ozzy, and pop schlock. He did know a few Ozzy deep cuts, but that might just mean he'd left a playlist running several times while inebriated- long enough to learn of them before the booze took away his ability to linger longer than 30 seconds in the present. I can't say I know much about Cradle of Filth, but he adored their lead singer, and when he found out Danny Filth liked Ozzy, that was a defining moment in the cobraverse.

He really only got into Cradle of Filth because LN was into them…I think she was the one that tried to get him to get her backstage passes for one of their shows.
 
I'll always remember Josh as somebody who was brave enough to be himself and to be consistently himself. He never really hurt anybody doing that either, he was just fucking odd and he made some questionable decisions. It warranted some mockery from others and he STILL did it.

For a long time, I always thought that was stupidity as opposed to bravery but retrospectively, I think it was pretty brave. He was a sensitive guy and he still cried on camera knowing what the result would be, he still invited crackheads over knowing they'd probably steal his shit, knowing that Warlord only cared about eating his food and never being a good friend. He KNEW people would fuck with him and he still got on camera every day, he KNEW this. He wasn't that stupid. Sure, he was sensitive, he'd retract from the world in a lot of ways because the abuse was too much and I think that's probably a fair reaction. I've done it.

In a lot of ways, Clint was right. He was a brave kid. I think I could probably stand to be as brave as he was, I think a lot of us could.

so, when the autopsy and everything is done...
do you think the boy will go live, one final time?

Will Clint give his true fans one final live?

I feel like Clint and the family deserve their privacy, especially now. Cobra overshared and talked about them frequently over the past 10 years or so. It’s evident that they didn’t want to be online presences but they couldn’t stop him or didn’t want to cause his channel is all he had. They didn’t want to be part of the “cobraverse,” all the information out there about them was from Cobes rants and oversharing, some awful people often overstepped the bounds and outright harassed and taunted them. They were mostly unwilling participants in that side of Josh’s life and I’m sure it’ll continue for a time after he’s gone. Live streaming his funeral might even be what Josh would want; but it’s his family who would have to live with the consequences.

The fact of the matter is many true fans of cobra would appreciate it and enjoy being involved in that part of Josh’s life and legacy but his family don’t owe us that, especially given it would turn their mourning into a spectacle, not just that but live-streaming his funeral and anything like that would unfortunately incentivize and embolden the absolute worst people who followed cobra. They’d take it as a pass to treat them as “fair game” for making themselves public figures in some twisted way, ensuring the family never gets any peace moving forward. If I was cobras family everything would be private, I probably wouldn’t even comment on anybody who reached out to me about cobra, positive or negative. Not to be cold to the people who genuinely loved cobra, but to spite the people who hated him.
 
Got a little sloshed before a concert last night (Cobra’s Mist and cheap wine). They started with Crazy Train. I fucking lost it, just cried through a good 1/3 of the set. Brent Hinds’s recent death was a built-in excuse, nobody asked questions. It was a very Ozzy-infused show, there were even some snake visuals. Our boy would have loved it there.

Josh was into cradle of filth since high school, long before Ellen was a thing. The band he wanted to buy her tickets for was some dumb emo shit, Blood on the Dance floor or some shit
 
It's weird, I'm sadder about this than I would have expected. I was never super aware of him, just on an "oh it's that guy on Youtube, he likes metal and he's special needs or something" level. But in the past couple months, I've poked my head in here a few times. I had wanted to do a proper read-through of the thread and gain a better appreciation of what he was like before, I guess. He was just kind of a harmlessly weird guy who did his own thing, sometimes to his detriment, I think. He shouldn't have died this way, whatever the cause turns out to be.
I feel for those of you that were attached to him. Please monitor your alcohol consumption, things can get bad without you realizing it.
 
Just watched MATI and I agree that Clint should sue these people who sent Cobes shit. Luckily we know one of these fuckers who's even more dysgenic than Cobes himself. Tarman admittedly sent Cobes duster to his door. This isn't a call to action but Tarman should be shitting his pants right now.

The lead singer of that is the child molester who raped Jessi Slaughter. Or was, anyway. They broke up.
 
Been listening to this song a fair bit over the past few days, before the news hit.
Somehow, I feel it's a fitting dedication to him. It's times like this that I remember why I tell my friends and family I care about them.

This is why I refuse to kill myself. I've been suicidal a lot of times, but I can't bear the thought of my dad crying his eyes out over my dead body, especially after everything he's done for me. I will never give up hope as long as he stays in my life through these trying times. And please, all of you, do your parents proud.

Probably a bit of a power level, but fuck it. My father watched me one get hit by a car on Christmas Eve. Thankfully, I was still young, so I was basically indestructible. I was also incredibly lucky to go over the hood and, let me tell you, time really does slow down in those situations. Can't imagine him finding me dead.

Don't you mistake Dani Filth for Dahvie Vanity from blood on the dance floor?

Also, i can't believe this was only two years ago, NAL and losing his apartment did a number on his mental and physical health
