Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 387

Every single one of these posts have made me sob.

Fuck. Grief is such a hopeless feeling, and it feels so silly because I’m just a fan of the band and do not feel the true impact of this like the band and his family does.

 

Every Stone is my favourite MO song and now it hits different :(

 

This is so sad. I feel for the band , his kid and wife.

 

This is just awful. Going to do a discography run through his MO albums. I didn't realize he was in Waking Ashland, Composure will certainly hit differently now too.

 

Oh wow, I had no idea either

 

It dawned on me that Tim’s final show with the band was The Stuffing 2025.

This whole thing has just been weighing on me. Those guys have always seemed like such a close, tight unit.

The Stuffing will never be the same for them.
This next album will be his final contribution to the band.
I’m sure they had a massive year planned.

Idk how Andy is gonna get through this tour next month.

 

Yeah I don't know how Andy could do that tour and not tear up every night. I would totally understand if he has to cancel that for mental health reasons.

 

From the Spotify bio, Tim didn’t join until The Well

 

Ahh good catch, I read an article that I thought said he was a founding member.

 

I don't think I've been this gutted over a band member passing since Scott Weiland. STP was my favorite band as a child and MO has been my favorite band for the past 17 years. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone was shocked when Scott passed given his history and lifestyle, but this is like, what the fuck???

Seeing all the Tim tributes pour in from other musicians and fans over the past few days has really been warming and I hope it provides at least a little bit of comfort for the family and the band going forward. He obviously touched and impacted so many lives in such a positive manner.

 

Tim was the best. He was just the most disarming person. You could always talk to Tim, he had zero bravado or ego. He was just a guy that played in a band. He even knew how silly that was to say when most people have actual jobs. He cared about the fan interaction and took genuine interest in what THEY did, and would try to learn more about their lives and where they came from. He would see you walking up to him and he’d hit you with a ‘What’s up, buuddy! I saw you out there! Did you have fun??’ and he’d just start talking about whatever band or sport team was on your hat or shirt. He just wanted people to feel seen, make a connection, and make you laugh. That’s all it ever was.

Tim ruled. The world is an even darker place today.

 

What the fuck is wrong with the random covid/vax comments on twitter?

 

same thing that is wrong with any replies on twitter

 

Ah yes, the delayed 5-years-later lethal vaccine side effects… makes perfect sense… those people are so unbelievably stupid

 

Batshit Nazi social media platform saying batshit Nazi things.

I just hope that this type of shit doesn’t reach his loved ones as they process his death.

 

They played a show at my college campus around the release of Cope. More people seemed to be there for the other acts than for MO so we got to talk to them after for what must have been 30 minutes or so. Just hanging out, shooting the shit, talking about the new album, movies, TV shows. Tim was the first one to welcome us "backstage" to their little tent area. He was the nicest, warmest, most down to earth person. I have one of his drumsticks from that show somewhere and I really need to find it. Completely gutted over this.

 

I just remembered, I have one of Tim's drumsticks from the VIP package on the MMOG tour. It was absolutely beat to shit and it seemed like he went out of his way to sign it in the nooks and crannies as a point of pride.

 

Will the entire Union Chapel live record be Andy/acoustic only?

 

As you would expect, the Union Chapel live record has been punted down the road to May 29th.

 

The two singles were Andy only right? Is a majority of the record full band?

 

I believe the whole thing is just Andy and Rob.

 

While I’m excited for Union chapel, I’ve been wishing for the band to put out their version of Okonokos for a while! I’m sure the loss of Tim complicates that idea though

 

Looks like union chapel has been pushed back to may 29
