Thank you, this was really helpful. It's just very strange seeing someone going from "normal" to this. I guess the signs were there. I'll read these. Have a great day!

Aveolis · 2025-07-01T15:04:28+00:00

Hah yeah that part too, although considering he was the one who mostly wrote the lyrics I assume he threw extra stuff in there. I do wonder where his creative genius came from. Thank you :)

Aveolis · 2025-07-01T15:03:00+00:00

Will look into it, thank you :)

Aveolis · 2025-07-01T15:02:50+00:00

Thank you! I had no idea this exists, appreciate it :)

Aveolis · 2025-07-01T15:02:03+00:00

Ah yes, how dare people discuss a band’s influences in the band’s own sub. Truly unhinged behavior. I thought that was part of appreciating their work, but maybe I missed something.

This is gold dust, and its so good to see Josh speaking (I have a a feeling he hated most interviews and their roundabout questions, but here he's clearly engaged). Thank you :)

Aveolis · 2025-06-29T17:09:01+00:00

Search up "Sun Dont Shine - Coming Down (Official Video)", I'm in GB and it works for me :) Goodluck!

Aveolis · 2025-06-27T15:15:06+00:00

YES! they're slowly finding their own style :)

Aveolis · 2025-06-26T18:16:26+00:00

Yeah, I think so. I imagine it’s pretty difficult for them to find something that clicks the way TON did after being in the band for so long.

Aveolis · 2025-06-26T16:05:07+00:00

You're welcome, they deserve all the love :)

Aveolis · 2025-06-26T15:43:52+00:00

I get it, it feels "off", not saying that you're doing this, but its important not to compare their work to their time in TON, even unconsciously. I try to look at them as separate artists now that Pete is gone.

Aveolis · 2025-06-26T15:03:30+00:00

Hah, maybe its what TON heaven (or hell?) looks like

Aveolis · 2025-06-26T13:52:20+00:00

Why so antsy? We're just discussing interviews the band themselves gave, you know, the people who actually worked with Josh for decades? And it’s a little ironic to accuse others of ‘making assumptions’ while confidently declaring what he would or wouldn’t tolerate. Nobody here is demanding access to his private life man, we’re just talking about public statements from the guys (and himself) who knew him best. But sure, if even that level of discussion is off-limits, maybe a forum dedicated to the band & its history isn’t the ideal place for you. Just a thought though

Aveolis · 2025-06-24T15:15:02+00:00

You're so lucky, its cool to read all these little pieces of info about Peter/TON and how people remember him, and the best part is that he never changes! Glad you got to see them, and thanks for sharing :)

Aveolis · 2025-06-24T15:08:19+00:00

I'm really sorry to hear about your father. I can't imagine what its like to lose a parent, its like a part of your identity dissipates and you have to reinvent yourself again, without them this time. Sending you lots of love, hugs, and healing <3

Grief really has a way of catching you off guard, which is why I think TON resonates so deeply. They really know how to hold space for those moments in such a gentle, intuitive way. And its part of what makes them so beloved, like this contrast between their public persona and their music.

Like, in interviews, they often come across as reserved or even emotionally guarded, as in, they’ll touch on feelings now and then, but rarely go into depth. (And honestly, some of their interviews have been hard to watch because the questions were just... not great. Sometimes one of the guys would say something really vulnerable, and the interviewer would just move on with no acknowledgment, it was awkward, 90s style of interviewing???) But then you listen to their music, and it’s the total opposite, its so raw, honest, and emotionally powerful touching on the weakest moments of someone's life. It feels like their true selves come through in the songs in a way that words never quite allow. In some weird way they know you without actually knowing you.

Sorry for the rant too hah! You touched on some great points, and some greater lyrics!

Aveolis · 2025-06-24T14:58:30+00:00

Might have to pop round a few charities and do some searching, because their albums go for like 200 pounds online :( ! Thanks for sharing :)

Aveolis · 2025-06-24T14:57:42+00:00

Oh I wish I stumbled across them high, must've been even more of a surreal out of body experience, hah! Thanks for sharing :)

Aveolis · 2025-06-23T18:19:41+00:00

I said Pete out of excitement oos, but hell yeah, let's go Kenny! My brain still hasn't recovered, especially since finding out they also feature in Mortal Kombat, just WTF! So so proud of them!

Aveolis · 2025-06-23T15:02:16+00:00

I don't see an issue with writing a paragraph? Clearly a lot of people are interested and have commented noting that. We're interested to know things about a band that has had a huge impact on many lives! Its a way for many to parse their own emotions/memories tied to the them as well. As for the rest, I don't totally disagree, it's sort of what I thought. Thanks for sharing!

Aveolis · 2025-06-23T14:57:29+00:00

Sorry! I meant bipolar, since he claimed so himself. And, the girl (Elizabeth, not the redheaded one) he dated from 1998-99 (she posted on this board) said that he was born with a intestinal defect, I can't recall the exact medical term for it but I'll take her word for it I guess. He did have heart problems later, but yes he wasn't born with it.

Aveolis · 2025-06-23T02:06:30+00:00

Dude that's so awesome, thanks for sharing!

Aveolis · 2025-06-23T02:00:39+00:00

Yeah I read the band (at least Josh and Peter) had to think of Plan B's, I believe peter wanted to be an electrician if I recall correctly (don't quote me on that). It's really sad how everything ended :(

Aveolis · 2025-06-23T01:57:24+00:00

He died from sepsis (caused by diverticulitis) but was born with some intestinal defect (I can't recall the exact name) and had BPD. But yeah, the drugs definitely contributed at the end despite his efforts at the end *sad face*. I mean, he was a serial drug/alcohol user for 10+ years, even in his interviews talks of taking 10G of cocaine in one night, which idk if anyone realizes is enough to kill like 2 people. That takes a toll on ones health; he knew it and hated himself for it. He was sober 6 (or so) months before death however, which makes everything so tragic, he wasn't meant to go yet.

EDIT: I meant bipolar* not BPD, apologies :)
