R.i.p deuce!

I just found out today that Aron Erlichman (Deuce) of Hollywood Undead died of a drug over-dose... I am so sad and upset right now... Hollywood Undead was one of my favorite bands, Da Kurlzz, Charlie Scene, Funny Man, J-Dog, Johnny3Tears... And Hollywood Undead's former friend/tour member Shady Jeff died in 2007, too.

And not to mention, Paul Gray from SlipKnot died of an over-dose not too long ago, either. Both are my favorite bands, both wear masks, and both were some of the greatest people ever. And most of the Hollywood Undead fans don't even know about it! I don't think SlipKnot is going to continue on without Paul Gray, but Hollywood Undead is already picking out a new member to replace Deuce :(

:tears: :rainon: :no: :upset: :crying: :sniff: :sigh2:

:tombstone DEUCE (ARON ERLICHMAN) :tombstone

I'm sorry... but I just had to say something... :(

Where'd you see this at?

Yeah where did you see this? I'm having a hard time believing that :S

wow I actually don't like hollywood undead a whole lot but still thats sucks a lot!! There a new band to his the scene which sucks too...sorry to hear about that...

Ah, sorry guys, I didn't check this thread. See, look at Wikipedia by Deuce:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywo...d#Band_members

Look under former members. Deuce was in the band from 2005-2010, and he OD. Check the website, too. That's what a lot of people are talking about.

STOP DOING DRUGS every rock star doesn't need them, even alchohaul, the rev fro a7x, i dont care how many times people said he "just died" it had to do with drinking, everytime you saw that dude, he was drinking

I thought The Rev died of a drug over-dose?

James Sullivan (The Rev) was found dead in his home on December 28, 2009. His death was reported as due to natural causes. The results of the autopsy performed on December 30, 2009, however, were inconclusive. It was not until June 9, 2010 that the cause of death was revealed to have been an acute polydrug intoxication due to combined effects of oxycodone (OxyContin), oxymorphone (a metabolization of oxycodone), diazepam (Valium), nordiazepam (a metabolization of diazepam) and ethanol.

Soon after his death, the band made the following statement:

"It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. Jimmy was not only one of the world's best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy's family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Jimmy you are forever in our hearts. We love you."

—M Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance and Johnny Christ
On January 5, 2010, a private funeral was held for Sullivan, and a day later he was buried in an undisclosed location.

Either way, I agree. Drugs are bad for you, and so is alcohol. Most of my favorite musicians are dying because of alcohol poisoning, or drug over-doses. Come on people, please make the right decision!

Hollywood Undead is looking for a new member. Go to the website, a big fight happened between H.U. and Deuce. I can't find anythign either, but the Hollywood Undead fan chat is saying it, and so is WikiPedia. Paul Gray wasn't even on the news, only on the radio :confuzd:

oh the your right, last time i really looked into the said natural causes, so it drugs, yea long as cory tayler or matt heafy(Trivium lead singer) dont die i'll hopefully be doing well

i'll check out there website then, not saying your lying i just wanna read what they are saying,

If Corey Taylor, Joey Jordison, Johnny3Tears, Funny Man, Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), Bert McCracken (The Used), Max Green (Escape The Fate), or Se7en (BrokeNCYDE) die, I'm just going to stop listening to music altogether :/

Yeah, Wikipedia didn't update on The Rev in a while now, so I could see how that was a misunderstanding. I don't know, the Hollywood Undead website is saying he over-dosed, but Deuce and the band got into a fight, so that might just be a rumor. But so is Wikipedia, so... I guess we'll have to wait and see then, huh?

Hes not dead.......He was booted from the band!

YouTube - Deuce Story Of A Snitch Video with link for lyrics

Edit
I cant unembed the vid??

I know he was removed from the band... but wtf!? Hollywood Undead's website, Wikipedia's... Wow... I'm going to take them them somehow, and tell them they need to fix their information :/

I cant find on there website that he died anywhere.....I see the blog posts about him getting booted from the band but those are fan posts.

They say he's going solo now.

Wow, I was going to freak out if another rocker died. I'm still upset (Probly always will be) about Paul. My sister is crazy over Hollywood Undead. I'm not a huge fan, but they're cool. Glad he didn't die though.

Deuce is NOT dead.
This is a vicious and extremely incorrect rumor.

Deuce was evicted from Hollywood Undead (the band he formed and molded) shortly after Desperate Measures was released. Johnny Three Tears had requested that Deuce be removed from the band for a number of reasons, most consisting of a jealous approach to Deuce's attention and recognition, despite the fact that Deuce had appropriately earned that by producing, mixing and writing the large majority of Hollywood Undead's songs. Deuce and J3T were often arguing on tour and Deuce was once forcefully thrown off stage by Johnny!

Deuce enjoyed conversing and engaging with fans on a regular basis (and still remains to do so; TWITTER: @Deuce9Lives) however, for unknown reasons, Johnny Three Tears and James Diener (CEO Of AM/Octone) did not approve of this and often issued "warnings" to Deuce for doing so.

Deuce had began a small, non-profit solo/side project where he made a number of songs of which he did not believe slotted with the Hollywood Undead criteria and style. Johnny Three Tears and James Diener were most likely fearful that Deuce would not only make it in Hollywood Undead but that he would also blow up as "DEUCE", a solo artist in his own right (threatening James Diener in that Deuce may look elsewhere in a record company). Johnny Three Tears threatened that once again, Deuce would get more atteention. Deuce gave all of his solo songs for FREE and made them for his own entertainment.

Johnny Three Tears issued the request and left J-Dog to make the final decision as to whether or not Deuce would remain in (HIS OWN) band. Neither Charlie Scene, DaKurlzz or Funny Man stood up for their friend for this duration and J-Dog made the ultimate decision that Deuce would be removed from Hollywood Undead as soon as possible.

Johnny Three Tears (now the band's "front man" as result of the previous act) neglected to inform fans that Deuce had been evicted, and invited American Idol reject "Daniel Murillo" to tour with them in Deuce's place. Many fans were angered and distressed about Deuce's whereabouts at these live shows and many begin asking questions. Johnny then began informing fans via the hollywoodundead.com website that Deuce had "quit" in order to pursue with his solo project. This was of course a vicious lie, and was noted as such shortly after. Deuce later released a mixtape of B.o.B's "Airplanes" named "Story of a Snitch" which conveys his anger and disappointment with not only being removed from the band but about the fans being lied to.

Story of a Snitch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJt2v5iCfpY

Deuce is most certainly NOT dead and does NOT take drugs (Drugs were always Fanny Man's thing)

Deuce is releasing a new song titled "When We Ride" (A remix of 'Dead in Ditches') which features "Kinda Major", who played opposite stage to Deuce at the Epicenter festival in September in California. Deuce releases a short movie via his youtube every so often named "Deuce Raw" in order to ensure the fans that he is consistently working on music and give a small insight to Deuce's life. Deuce Raw 3 shows a considerable amount of front and back stage Epicenter footage, proving he is NOT DEAD!!!! (Deuce Raw 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm85AjBlcXM)

You can find a more detailed account of Deuce's eviction at
http://www.truthaboutdeuce.tumblr.com

Deuce is currently tied by the AMO contract and James Diener is declining Deuce permission to release his new solo album, and even solo songs! (Which is why some released so far have been mix tapes). Deuce is currently stuck and fighting a legal battle with HU and AMO for his freedom to do what he so loves doing.

If you liked Swan Songs, you will NOT like Hollywood Undead without Deuce. However, if you like Kelly Clarkson rip offs being shouted down your headphones by an American Idol reject, a drunk and a backstabber... YOU WILL LOVE THE NEW HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD!

I hope I cleared some stuff up for you misguided people! If you have any questions, simply send him a mention on twitter and I'm sure he would be glad to answer them as he is always glad to hear from fans!

Thank you.


ALSO: Shady Jeff is not dead either, he's just not doing anything. I think you misunderstood the Hollywood Undead wikipedia, the dates (2005-2007) are their duration in the band, not duration of life haha.
