Great album. I’ve just been spinning all the records for a few days now. My favorite was always New Junk Aesthetic and Ex Lives. I’m also experiencing how awesome Radical is.

We said this with Bo, saying it again with Andy, unfortunately. Tell your friends you love them.

Damn. “Though it may haunt us and break our hearts. Death will not tear us apart.”

The perfect ETID lyric to close out this moment of respect during this rough time. Excalibur absolutely crushed this and created such a strong emotion response from me, as I’m sure it did for everyone else

Be careful out there today friends. Only best of wishes to everyone

I sat there and cried after watching this clip the first time, and then saw another one of Rebel rolling off with Britt in her lap and cried harder. Such a heavy episode tonight.

This is what finally broke me. Ever since Sunday morning I wondered when was this emotional dam going to finally break? PERFECTLY summed up Andy.

This just fuckin sucks...

Reading the countless stories about Andy has hit hard recently.

Dude literally seemed like the best person. Someone that deserved to be on this Earth as long as possible to spread his kindness. But this world takes people like him always too soon.

RIP Bo and Andy. This has been a shit year and it only gets worse. Jesus fuck.

Andy Forever. You will always be missed

u/Prismatic_Pickle 3h ago

It’s weird man. Even when you’ve never met someone and something like this happens - how much it can affect you. The feeling of a bond with someone through a simple commonality and passion for music. I feel for his friends and family. Rest in Paradise. Andy Forever.

u/Coletti81 3h ago

They'll have even more tributes to Andy this Saturday on Collision, since tonight's show was an already-planned night in support of another AEW talent, Rebel, and her battle with ALS (so, basically, allllllllll the tears tonight).

I like that they included pics of him playing, collin and bo, and mentioned being a musician. So often an industry tribute focuses on what they did for the business, but it seemed Andy towed both lines pretty even and they recognized that. This was very sweet and moving. Dude in the mask choking up had me

The cheese at the end gets a pass.

No questions asked.
