not saying that they shouldn’t continue to do everything in their power to assist those directly and indirectly involved, but it is worth asking when specifically they get to be off the hook. ok, four years isn’t enough. how about eight? twelve?

Twenty years later he can ask people to get over it. Four years later, not so much.

I do feel for the fact that their Stage Manager told them the pyro was ok, even though it blatantly wasn’t. Also one of their guitarists died in the blaze, which isn’t often reported.

They have stepped up admirably, but if you are telling people you are dedicating the rest of your career to helping them out, and they see you are doing a benefit to help baby seals, I can see why they would be a little put off. Let the Bulletboys help the seals, if you aren’t raising money for rent, raise it for the people who you melted in the fire.

They were a got-damned building inferno, not a war. Great White’s contribution to their re-entry into polite society — an expression that I’d never have thought to associate with GW fans — should not then be in perpetuity.

Lump-sum compensation for survivors of the blaze, & inheritors of the deceased, sure — say, 80,000 to 100,000$US each — but lifetime payouts?

WTF?

If they’re that impaired, they should be on SSI. & prolly should have been even before the fateful performance.
