Talk:Darby Crash

message: If I remember correctly Belinda Carlisle was never a member of The Germs, her only connection to the band was she dated the bassist Lorna Doom (I think that was her name) for a while. Can someone give a source that details Belinda Carlisle's connection to the band?--Brentt 23:40, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I've removed the reference to the high school being connected to scientology. To date, I have never seen any reference or proof of this. If there is any, please reference before posting Rsm99833
It is cited in his biography that the school was a "new age school that taught Scientology and other fringe beliefs that could only exist in California". Teamgoon 16:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I red many years ago that Darby was a Sid Vicious fan and that he took that fatal overdose onstage trying to imitate and even surpass his "master", he died after off stage because heroin takes more than a few seconds to kill you, and Lennon´s shooting the very next day overshadowed what Darby wanted to be a front page news.
I think this is very important and should be in the article. If this is not true, please tell us about it.

It's a rumor that he was trying to imitate Sid Vicious, but no truth to it whatsoever, as that he never died on stage. Rsm99833 19:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: This is from the wiki entry for Ziggy Stardust:
The LA pre-hardcore punk band The Germs' lead singer, Darby Crash was known to explain to people that "Bowie says we have five years left", and actually killed himself within five years of starting his band, in accordance with a suicide pact he gathered out of the Ziggy Stardust story.
This is mentioned nowhere on this page, and is in fact uncited in the Ziggy Stardust article. In the main Darby article, his death isn't stated as definitely suicide, yet the Ziggy Stardust article presents it as fact 81.158.120.100 18:36, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I could see this in a trivia section, but I can't imagine any encyclopedia actually publishing a coincidence like that.
From what I've heard John Lennon was one of Darby's idols, as he was many people's. I am not 100% about this but I believe Lennon was one of Jan Paul Beahm's main influences for his public persona as Darby Crash.Sequne22 (talk) 20:46, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't have it with me but I know in Lexicon Devil they discuss Darby and Pat having a relationship with Iggy Pop. If I remember it correctly, Lexicon Devil says Iggy suddenly decided to shun them after they had been friends for a while and nobody really knew why. Can anybody confirm this?

message: Does anyone have a link to a reliable source to Detective Tommy Takahashi's report on the scene of the death of Crash? I found this in a self published book called Wild-Eyed Boy: The Darby Crash Story (revised edition)
“Decedent, 22 year old male, was the boyfriend of Casey Hopkins who resided at the address of the incident in the rear house. It was learned later that the two lived together at (address deleted) until three weeks ago when they moved out and took up residence with three friends at 312 N Oxford, LA. Last night they had a party at the Oxford address, drinking and smoking (the decedent also has track marks on both arms). The two decided to return to the (address deleted) and arrived there at approximately 0330 hours. this date. The girlfriend’s mother who resides at the residence in the family house had no knowledge of the two being in the back house until Casey’s friends came to the house.
At approximately 1230 hours this date, Casey awoke to find (Darby) not breathing and cold to the touch. She started sobbing and when her three friends walked in, they observed her over the decedent and crying. Casey’s mother, Jacqueline Garrett, was contacted and she called the paramedics…who pronounced death at 1250 hours.
Decedent was observed supine (laying flat on back) on the floor dressed in street clothes. He was in a supine position. Over his head on the wall was a note with a heading to “Bosco” who is decedent’s close friend and lives in New York.
Decedent is also reported to have been a heavy drinker, sometimes or at spells he would get drunk daily.
Identification was established by girlfriend and photo on driver’s license.”
I'm attempting to confirm if this is accurate because a number of sources including the Germs article on Wikipedia claim As he lay dying, he attempted to write "Here lies Darby Crash". Other sources, usually not WP:RS by Wikipedia standards claim that he wrote "Here lies Darby C", as he was unable to finish his note. Either way, after reading a number of newspaper articles, I'm questioning whether the "Here Lies" claim is more of a legend than actual fact, and the truth is he simply wrote a note to David "Bosco" Danford stating "My life, my leather, my love goes to Bosco." --Yankees76 Talk 18:06, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
