Wow, completely out of it. Kind of looks like Tim was laughing once it was clear Boyd wasn’t going to jump in on his part. The band had to have known there were problems. Very sad.

I still stick on the point that after his wrist surgery is where this started and got stuck on opiates from there. All speculative, but that would be what I put my money on. Id love to be wrong.

Typical.

Its obvious you are speaking of air travel. Didn't think I needed to respond so that you could feel validated on your incredible intellect. There you go, I responded. Ill even give you a gold star. Do you feel better about yourself now?

And, you only served to validate my point.

Stefan's last instagram post is dated 3 days ago and it mentions the Gorge. It doesn't even say that he is still there as of the time of his posting (BTs BTW said "hanging out...in Toronto." and it was posted yesterday) So...if you are willing to blindly believe that some one saw BT in Charlottsville yesterday and didn't want to take a pic, how is my story about seeing Stefan at SPAC yesterday and not wanting to take a pic any less believable based upon only the FACTS presented by myself and the OP. Sure, my claim MAY sound more absurd, but based upon factual evidence neither my story or the OPs has anymore or less credibility.

I notice you won't respond to facts, so I will just wait for you to bring up dirty socks as a rebuttal

Well except one claim is from a veritable kook and the other, well, isn’t.

Look, is it possible Fonz was at SPAC last night? Sure. Of course it is. It’s also possible BT is not ok. One of these possibilities is factually more likely than the other though.

Please stop trolling, now. You got a response to a completely ludicrous question.

Edit: not once have I brought up socks. Go look through every post I’ve ever written. I’m not here to kink shame.

This is not the Boyd I remember. That video of him playing DOOF was nowhere near full jerk. I'm dissapointed to say the least.

Not everyone takes pics of celebs out in public

[hailtopitt]

if boyd was in as bad of shape as stated, the respectful thing to do is NOT take a pic

Probably so

It’s a shame

[jebediahlongnut]

Why would someone make up this story about seeing Boyd?

Also it was clear before this thread was made that Boyd was not in a good situation so this isn't some new idea.

But BillyMiller has to defend his crush.

[joshg]

The best part of that YMDT video is that it's so obviously a necessary Boyd solo and the man is in space, in another galaxy. Couple that with a stomping Dave's rage.

So BT and The Way Back Featuring Boyd Tinsley start to get support around here (from not just me BTW), and next thing you know, this thread pops up.

#FalseFlag

BTs Instagram says he is still in Toronto.

Corran Crapshaw sure does have his minions on these boards

Lmao he isn't in toronto. He was buying large storage containers in cville walmart. Check his show list he is off for a bit.

Also he was in such bad shape my brother wasn't even sure we should talk to him. But I've never run into him here in cville so I had to at least say hi. But yea he was too out of it for me to ask for a pic.

It's happened to millions of other people, not a stretch at all to think it may apply here.

This isn't to diminish various hardships. It seems to me the losing Roi was really hard on him and while he seemed to find his voice again with Lillywhite's help during the AFtW sessions, the consistency during live performances slowly deteriorated. Apparently, so did his overall well-being.

Everything that people are saying points to some sort of chemical issue, be it his own, that mixed with meds, self-medication, addiction, a horrible combination of the aforementioned...

I don't get the feeling the band dismissed Boyd off hand and without trying to help or giving time to get help. It seems more like Boyd has been making bad decisions regardless of the catalyst. You can't force people to get better or clean up or prioritize life and happiness. And sadly some people cannot find happiness even if they want to.

I hope he avoids trouble and figures out a way to get his shit together, if even only for his likely estranged family...especially his kids. I can't imagine this doing anything but causing them a lot of pain, despite being adults themselves.

Nice post.

When did he have that surgery?

[Laurenkight]

The YouTube video is really fucking sad.

The theory regarding surgery and painkillers makes sense. Most addicts will tell you that’s how they become initially addicted.

Regardless if he’s on drugs or sick in another way, the dude clearly needs help. Hope he gets it.

Boyd is not well

I actually feel bad for the people who don't believe me. Meeting one of the founding members of one of my favorite bands and seeing him that way was not something I ever wanted. Unfortunately it's gonna take a major incident for some people to see that this is not a lie. He was in such bad shape that my brother actually wanted nothing to do with meeting him and he just watched me talk to him from a down the aisle.

[YankeesDMB41]

a 2002 ants member from Charlottesville with 80 posts sure seems like someone who would lie

[dmbguitarist]

Lol I moved here last year

[YankeesDMB41]

I was being completely sarcastic

Hahha I never know anymore I actually stopped posting for years because I got tired of fighting people over my opinions 😋 but it's funny since I moved to cville I got involved with alot of dmb related people and every person has been so great and exceed my expectations except for boyd it was devistating as fan to see that. And I know I'm prob gonna get ripped for this but it's interesting to see how much of the stuff on this board is so far from the truth.

[YankeesDMB41]

I don't think there is a sincere person on these boards that doesn't believe that Boyd is fucked up on drugs.

I think Billy would say to that: “Hold my beer.”

Look at the way Boyd is moving at 4:40ish in this video from his last show: https://www.facebook.com/photocityim...9022438966106/

This man is not well. He looked like he could barely walk five feet to pick up his instrumental. I mean WOW.

[monizzle145]

Boyd is a SoundCloud musician playing in small clubs/bars. On top of that the music being made sounds horrible. It’s sad to see this unfold. Hopefully something will change.

I think the wrist surgery may have escalated the problem for sure. I just think he had problems well before. May have started in 2008 when Roi passed. I know he started those Narnia party’s in 2011 or 2012. That its self is really weird
