Nothing funny about mental issues of any kind really. I hope he works his way through it. Plus dealing with personal demons generally makes for some fucking kick-ass metal. (except St. Anger)

Here’s to James kicking a shitty habit. I have close family who have struggled with eating disorders, so it’s good to hear that it’s being taken care of.

And if it’s any consolation, Arsis are one of very few Death metal bands I can think of that have not put out a shitty album yet.

@PorkSpam

Yes eating disorders are tuff but drugs/alcohol you can’t just quit…people need to eat everyday as a drug addict/alcoholic needs to do what they need to survive everday…an addiction is an addiction whether it be food, drugs, sex, gambling, boooze…it’s all the same…the body needs the certain substance to function daily….especially alcoholics…they need to drink so there body doesn’t shut down…alcohol is the only drug you can die from withdrawing from…your liver needs it to function….

Nothing funny about a drug addiction anyway.

With a drug addiction you have to overcome both a mental and a physical barrier, Malone only needs to overcome the mental barrier to lose the anorexia.

Significantly less funny than a drug addiction. Hope he feels better soon.

C’mon Axl, don’t get sanctimonious and self-righteous, because you know damn well if it was some band member of a band you hated you’d be a total dick and make a horribly tasteless joke.

Is it just me, or does this disease kind of make sense, given the genre of music that Malone plays? E.g. the micro-controlling tendency that you need to be great at tech-death (or whatever the fuck genre you want to call the type of music that Arsis plays) seems to definitely become a personality trait of Malone’s that manifested itself in a less-healthy way, e.g. anorexia.

I said this before and I’ll say it again: James Malone is just a good fuckin’ dude. The man just put himself out there and I for one have nothing but respect for that. This is real life, not some lambgoat manufactured drama bullshit. Good luck with the recovery metal brother.

Agreed. A dude having an eating disorder isn’t “the norm” so to say, and I’m surprised a lot of people haven’t gay bashed the shit out of him. I hope that he can pull himself away from his vices and get straightened up. Arsis are a great band and hopefully he’ll use the music to overcome his demons.

Thanks for posting this brothers of metal! Yes, I think it took guts for James to come clean about all this stuff.

I hope he gets better. Eating disorders are tough. I mean, with drugs and alcohol you can just quit, but you got to eat every day.

Here’s hoping that he pulls his life around and kicks this nasty addiction/disease/condition/disorder.
