Must be weird to read a news article about your own death though

[burtdawgg]

wait now im confused.. why did they post that article then? was it some one else that looked like scott or something...? or a sick joke?

[Punk_Rocker227]

Thank f***in god!!!

[Metal Matt]

Well that's good news.

[frigginjerk]

since many people seem confused:

scott raynor was blink-182's drummer before travis joined. he toured with them until midway through the Dude Ranch tour.

there was an article posted on UG yesterday from a fake source, that said he had been shot dead by his bandmates. it was false.

[Phoenixblade]

Hate to say I told you so....

[Shortys99887]

lmao damn

I thought he died

Well its good that he's still alive

[zappp]

^^^ read our apology for details! "it was sent by anonymous user"...

[gibsongirl295]

[snails]

[Lint]

[Bloopers]

Lol. I told you it was a fake. You dumbass going and beliving it.

[whyvern]

[frigginjerk]

um, his name is spelled wrong in the apology... Rainor? anyways, yeah. It seemed a little hokey. Good news that he's not dead too!

[huge pyromaniak]

ha told u all he isnt dead stupid dumb ass who said he was why would somone say something like that ppl are sick

[ChrisMcD88]

Good to see he is still here.

[andrewbiles]

Someone else still died here people. Does everyone else get less respect than celebrities? It's nice to know he's still alive, but I feel sorry for the other person.

[faqu]

Do you think he's gonna press charges against UG??

[Zachass]

Good to know that he is still alive......whoever put that up sucks. May that girl find peace.

[FatKidsOnMopeds</3]

yayy!!!!!!!! i love you scottt!!!!

[SRVGuitarFreak]

I hope ya'll dont post a story on here again about someone dying from someone just telling you, you need a reliable source first but anyway I hate it for someone who did die. They may not be famous like Scott but they are just important, it is a life.

[HENDRIXmojo]

I dont care, if the band sucks, at least, the fella is ok

thank God

[ATOM]

whos scott raynor

[funkyrockguy]

who is scott raynor?

[Misunderstood56]

yay hes alive!!

[roo6339]

i doubt it, it was just a little bit of mis-information. besides, they've covered it up pretty quick.

[Queef]

Scott Raynor is back from the dead! It's a miracle!

[zappp]

i talk with scott yesterday, everything was sorted out. he is a nice guy

[Munje]

What the hell does "stand up for kids" have to do with all this?

[page59]

thats good
thats how he knows the girl who was shot and he was just advertising for it

[fowlup182]

I think it was a rumour started by blink 182 as a publicity stunt because there next single to come out is "i miss you" n they could say it tied in with the death of an old friend n make a s**t load of money from it............thats my theory any way.

[fowlup182]

charity work..........so thats what hes doing now

[Encore_God]

His response could at least have been made grammatically correct surely?

[patriot_73]

woah zapp, how come u have such access to such stars?!? That\\\'s pretty nice, good for you man, but other than that... r.i.p the young girl... and may this organization be successful

[nirvanaboy]

yeah its good hes okay i thought the story of his band member killing him was a bit fake that a$$hole who put it on there should be sued

[Tcurtis]

thank god. the dude that put the other post should be ***ed hard up the ass.

[stratstrummer40]

thank u god

[IEatSquirells]

Cmon folks. Yeah, that dude's kool and all, but someone else still died here. Not to mention it's a friend of his, and if you all hold this guy so high up in your hearts, then should you not show the same respect to his friends? RIP girl, sorry it ended thsi way for you.

[Jesusdude89]

i may be the first to say this, but uhh....

doesn't seem like that's scott.

that seems like some advertisement. was that really Scott Raynor? or was it emailed or something? also, i think that Scott doesn't visit this site often, so it's kinda odd he'd email it because it says he's dead.

[brettyearwood1]

It was bs to help that organization.

[Dj. Big Bizzle]

anyhoo im glad my boy Scott Raynor is still alive...

[ironclawkenny]

thats right lest hear it for scott (aplause...)

[JimmyEatWorldSP]

Well, Scott gets to pretty much witness his own funeral in that other article.

[hurley8957]

Blink should bring back scott and make old school punk.

[Mark]

Allthough I didn't think he was really dead, I'm still relieved. Welcome back Scott

[Mr_A_Misterio]

wow sorry bout your friend

[punkrock_06]

dude scott what happened with you and blink 182.
i mean aren't you just a little mad.
email PLEASE! ive been goin crazy wonderin what happened with you and blink.

[punkrock_06]

man im glad ur still alive

[gutiarguru87]

I'm glad you're alive man. Now give us something to listen to, so you can promote your homeless helping organization.

[SketchyPlatypus]

you need to learn some grammar skills.... but congrats on being alive and sending out a wonderful message.

[redwing_suck]

all spam deleted (ahem... ihatemetallica's posts and bassramone's posts...)

[danc446]

Very tasteful of UG to apologize and pledge their future vigilance. Hey, mistakes happen.

[frigginjerk]

blinkRockyRox:

[Jak_Blink]

[POSTED: 05 December 2003 - 10:28]
is a complete idiot, the new song that is coming out in new year called: I Miss You. is not about the death of an old friend. i mean, the first part is directed to Travis and Shanna (his girlfriend/wife dunno wat they r) if u listen to the song from the new album its just about sum1 they love, not about the death of an old friend. so shut the fuk up if u dnt no wat ur talkin about.

[systemrules]

im glad the guys not dead but all u ppl who say u were upset by the news of him dying should feel the same way about the homeless girl who died. just cause he used to be a celebrity doesnt mean his life is worth more, u shallow bastards.

[Weiser]

Scott Raynor left Blink 182 during their Dude Ranch tour and was replaced by Travis Barker.

Right but didnt he leave to go back to school or uni or some shit

[Bong Water]

yeah i wouldnt mind knowing where this info came from... how exactly did you receive this proof of life? im not saying he could be dead, but how do we know that it's not another anonymous emailer? Does that mean i could submit a news article saying that Angus Young had killed overdosed on heroin and killed himself in a London hotel room last Saturday night and ACDC plans to break up and it would be put on the site? And then I could post another claiming to be Angus himself and saying that it was not him but rather his brother Malcolm who overdosed, and that would make it to the site aswell?

I think a review of what is put on the site is needed...

[oginro]

Scott Raynor is Jesus

[green_punk_guy]

hey wat band is scott in

[danno1no1]

scott i want you in my band bt obviously ya cant but jst sayin if its any concelation blink182 dont make the same old stuff like they used to they need ya back m8 l8az
