CRAZY TOWN’S SHIFTY SHELLSHOCK (Seth Binzer) HIS TRAGIC DEATH -WHERE HE DIED AND WHERE IS HIS GRAVE?

[@krimsonmusic]

Seth was honestly one of the nicest guys, man. I met him at a Crazy Town show in 2019 when I was in a pretty bad place and he treated me like a really good friend. I hung out with him the entire night and he told me stories about touring and music and then at the end of the night as I was leaving he ran after me and gave me a free Crazy Town sweater. It was one of the best nights ever. He was super misunderstood and I'll always defend him. RIP, Shifty. 💜🙌🏻🎤🦋⭐🎵

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

@@krimsonmusic great story thank you for sharing that man

[@bubblesdelight]

What a cool story thank you for sharing,I remember seeing a video of him he looked like he hit rock bottom?

[@krimsonmusic]

@@bubblesdelight Yeah, I'm not too sure what all happened with that. That was all after I saw him. When I met him he seemed really healthy and happy and he sounded great. He was a little scraped up cause he told me they had hit a moose on the road a few days prior, but otherwise he seemed to be in good spirits and everything. He was nothing but kind and awesome to me so I have no idea what led to all the drama that followed. 🙁 I'll always just choose to remember him as the guy who went above and beyond to be cool to me. 🥹

[@bubblesdelight]

@krimsonmusic Yeah that's it keep the good memories, awesome 👍

[@Troll_Spanker]

Met him at a 311 show was Hella cool but he was on meth heroin and whatever he can get his hand on

[@stephanielloyd4053]

Im from the UK, and that song Butterfly was huge over here! I bought the single on CD! I still love it! I have been in heroin addiction recovery for about 8 years now. Still trying to stay sober. ❤

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Stay strong Stephanie ❤️❤️

[@nurseelliott4256]

Wishing you the best with your recovery. And may your sobriety continue

[@stephanielloyd4053]

@SCOTTONTAPE Ah thank you lovely. 🥰

[@stephanielloyd4053]

@nurseelliott4256 Thank You! 🥰

[@fairylilith2000]

Stay strong! I lost two of my cousins in one year to a herion over dose

[@Goodcompanywithbowling]

Thanks for posting this episode. I was so fortunate to have him on my podcast when he was sober. He seemed really happy that day.

[@wendyburgess7681]

Compasion is the word your looking for Scott. My little Sister passed away at 32. It about destroyed our family. It tore us up. Anyone that has an addict knows its so hard to watch people go through this. Unfortunately I did not know My Sister would die of an accidental overdose. I had no idea she was doing the things, she was doing. Her death made me feel so guilty. How come I didn't see things or know she was doing drugs. I would not wish anyone to have a loved one with an addiction problem. It's hell.

[@caseycole6551]

What is the name of that podcast? I’d love to watch it

[@wandaorr2075]

As a Chemical Dependency Professional you are absolutely right, addiction IS a disease; like most cancers it can go into remission but there is no permanent cure. I counseled teens, really tough😢

[@brdnl3]

Yes , that day .. that day doesn’t happen that often for the good with an addict and on top of that you should celebrate addicts who have overcome and not died because they couldn’t persevere .. the guy had a kid and that should overcome everything !! Stop putting famous singers on a pedestal when they are just flawed like the rest of us

[@theunborn33]

Completely clean and sober for 6 years here, after 20 years spent shooting speedballs and almost losing a leg due to injecting into my groin. Haven't touched any ever since, even stopped smoking cigarettes and I miss none of it. Absolutely none of it. So this 'lifelong' thing is bullshit imo. If you're truly sick of that life and the pain gets bigger than the chemical relief, you will kick it for good. You really have to want it.

[@Hbizz813]

Seth might have failed in his sobriety but he did try multiple times to stay sober. You did great work on this video Scott 👍. Rip Seth 🕊️🙏

[@GodBlessGodBless1227]

I had no stinking clue that he died. That song was not only one of my favorites back in the day but the music video was too. Dang may he rest in peace. God bless us all.

[@hazelmonroe7725]

Same here . I really had no idea and i used to love this song . Still do .

[@JamieCurranthemagnificent-z7h]

Same!😢

[@Sugas_Girr]

Me, too! 😭 This is the first I heard about his passing... I loved that song and the group so much when I was younger. 🥺 R.I.P 💔🙏🏻🕊️

[@nikkibeacth]

I too just found out when this video popped up in my recommended videos I’m here. Wow. 2 months short from 49 y/oz I watched his “ Celebrity Rehab “, he was smocking crack on camera without a care.

[@LB4Sure10]

Dangss ...neither did i.. So sad to hear this... 😟 They gave the world a banger of a hit to Remember.!!!.. 90s / 2000 Best era of music ... .. May he Rest in Peace..

[@Nonayabizness360]

I just turned 51 years old and both my parents were functioning addicts my entire life. My mother quit cold turkey on her own and the only reason that my father quit was because he got Alzheimer’s and forgot everything in his life including his addiction. He died without answering the questions that I needed answers to. He went to a Catholic school for his entire education and he was molested as a young boy and he was the kind of man who would never talk about it and never seek help, he just hid his pain in his addiction. I hated him for most of my life but when I found out about his childhood I forgave him because so many addicts hide from their pain that way. RIP to all the amazing people that we have lost way to young from this horrible disease.

[@Kramevilo]

So glad you forgave your dad that sets you free my dad was a monster he had a brain injury and wasn’t right in the head after an accident he did horrible things to my brother he started him on fire my brother lived he raped my sister and tried to kill my other brother my mom picked up us kids and went into hiding my brother forgave my dad and my brother was an amazing soul I thought if he could forgive my dad I could too and it helped me let go of what’s not mine to carry sending love and light to you ❤

[@DrLC.]

I can’t imagine how hard all of this was/is for you. I’m sad for what your father went through as a young boy. I’m glad you forgave him. I hope you’re doing well these days.

[@AustinD333]

I remember watching Seth on Celebrity Rehab & Sober House. He tried & tried. He went through a long battle. Hes finally at peace. Rest in Peace Seth Binzer ❤

[@sheilabock466]

Great episode, thank you for sharing. Drug addiction is an awful disease and it destroys so many lives. Rest in peace young man.

[@Barb-m5w]

You don't know what someone is going through till you walk in their shoes.

[@st2826]

Butterfly was and still is one of my all time favourite songs, RIP Seth 💜

[@CarolineWessonFLGirl]

Yep, one of my late brothers favorite songs. Wild, I did not know that the lead singer passed away earlier this year. Much love from the sunshine state

[@The_Dirt_Merchant]

Scott, opening up like a book here: I'm 14 years sober from H. Every single day of my life if not every single waking hour I don't think about it. How much I loved it, how great it made me feel, how just shooting one more time to feel that loving embrace, it is truly a battle for life! How I have not relapsed is well beyond me. I pray to God everyday that I do not relapse, but when life gets hard, it really starts creeping in. It is the ultimate escape from stress, but it is no excuse. Shifty's battle is close to my heart, and it sucks that is no longer here with us. Thank you for honoring his legacy! So many people judge addicts because they don't understand. They don't understand because they've never had to deal with the struggle. It almost always starts off with a doctor writing you a prescription for opiates, missing all the warning signs, upping your dosage, then switching you to stronger pills, and so on and so forth and when they finally do see the signs they cut you off cold turkey! Sure, some people can do it once or twice and then put them down. There are other people, like me, who used to fight our demons. I urge everyone in this chat to please not judge addicts, active or in remission. You will never understand what the next person goes through or has gone through, and it could easily end up being you. I would not wish this disease on my worst enemy.

[@itsdrobunny]

Every word you wrote sounds like me. Thank you for sharing. It is an hourly struggle! I am almost 6 years off H and I don't even know or understand how I've been able to do that because it is constantly on my mind...the battle is for life!

[@carriebrownrigg615]

❤️

[@isaacthomas6673]

I'm 8 months sober from alcohol and going through treatment, they ask us if addiction is a disease or not. What we come to is that addiction is many different things. It can be emotional, mental, and physical, there is some things that are worse than others in the drug and alcohol classifications. So when you say addiction is a disease. Instead, it should be framed in a different way. Addiction can be a disease, is what my opinion is. But there is just so much that plays a role in addiction. It is a true many people don't have compassion or empathy when it comes to addiction and Yes most people have someone in their family or friends that are dealing with addiction. Thanks for putting light on this issue, it needs to be discussed so it can get better.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Congratulations on your sobriety Issac. Stay strong brother

[@BRODYOUNGDarkInkTalesVideoStud]

I am very proud of you ...Because you're been strong dealing to this...Stay with your head up no matter what people can say about addiction is or isn't ...Focus on your recovering...The times which we fall along our lives don't become us losers but every single time we are capable to stand up again we turn into winners ...😘😘😘🖖🤘✌🙏🐉🏯🕉🌸🌷❤

[@isaacthomas6673]

@SCOTTONTAPE Thanks man. It's always one day at a time 👍

[@michellenainkristinabusch1221]

One day at a time. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. I'm the sister of an addict, who lost his battle. Today is 1 year. If there's one thing I can tell you is repair your bridges, if any need to be repaired. Sobriety is great, but not when you're alone.

[@courtenaypenick4350]

I’m 8 years sober from alcohol. I was never physically addicted. Very functional til I was home from work. Being in a band and always at a bar didn’t help. If it was present, I partook in it. I was very mentally addicted because I have bipolar and had not found the right “cocktail” of meds. Once I did, it was easier to stop. I drank hard for 25 years! As to if it’s a disease? I think it is. I come from a lonnnnnnng line of Irish alcoholics. There is a genetic disposition to alcoholism. Obviously you can get physically addicted and I was lucky I didn’t.

[@dougmarlow9466]

Fist heard "Butterfly" playing inside my daughters room while passing by, loved it ever since ❤ ! Thanks Seth, RIP 💔

[@codeblueize]

He said Thank You! -God

[@VickieHubbard-po2ed]

Your right scott, never judge people you don't know but you can feel compassion its not hard to be a good person. Vickie❤

[@kyliez.7565]

I LOVED Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew! Huge fan. I also listened to Love Line with Dr Drew weekly on the radio. My favorite Crazy Town song was by far Revolving Door! Poor Seth! RIP

[@robinpetros865]

Just because someone suffers from addiction does not make them any less a good person or a person that deserves a good life. Drug addiction is definitely a disease

[@TonyMontana-GDL]

I visited him at his apartment in Long Beach California. He will always be remembered in my childhood

[@mattwoodman3017]

R.I.P Seth!!! STARRY EYED SURPRISE is and always will be an anthem to me!!!!

[@francheskavega7251]

🙌🙌🙌

[@canadianqueen6969]

Omg I had forgotten about that one! Such a good one🥰

[@tracysmith3076]

I have never done drugs but I do feel so sad for people that struggle with them. I have my own addicition. I smoke and have done so from the age of 13. I am now 62. I hate it. I can only imagine how hard it must be for others with addictions. RIP 💔

[@tanyaking2297]

Smoking is doing drugs ,sorry^

[@heathermanning5368]

So sad, Thanks for Sharing!💔You have such a kind demeanor for these videos!🙏

[@wendellsmith1349]

I am surprised he lasted as long as he did. I watched him on Sober House ... He had a massive tolerance.

[@chadmears136]

I remember that song being played alot on fm rock radio in Baltimore where I'm from. Another tragic musician who died too soon. RIP Seth. I love your compassion n respect for people with an addiction. My Brother overdosed two years ago after he relapsed from being clean for nearly a year. I know about these things. 😢❤

[@chrissylee325]

I actually loved the song Butterfly and Seth! 😢 thank you for always doing your videos with so much respect, Scott! 👏

[@chadarmstrong8913]

Great Video! I met Seth once. He was a great and humble guy. He actually signed my bald head! Very fun guy!

[@nichole8622]

I met them and had nothing for them to sign so I let them sign my stomach. 😂😂 I have a pic somewhere

[@kellygraftwalz8891]

I listened to crazytown all the time !! He was awesome singer !! I was very sad to learn of his passing , I am really glad you made this video!

[@StephsScary]

[@OU-tn4nt]

Happy Friday the 13th Scott and thanks for another amazing video brother ✌️✌️

[@aprillisa5950]

I heard of him and this song. It's one of those songs that I heard and forgot about it and remembered it years later when I heard about his death.

[@littlemy1773]

Try starry eyed surprise, it was a huge hit in the UK . It was him and the DJ Oakenfold

[@frostyseconds8615]

I loved Crazy Town, it's a very sad thing to see someone you use to look up to struggling with an addiction RIP Shifty.

[@zivarina]

Really love your vids and im so happy to have found your channel, it´s right up my alley all the stuff you make... always awesome ❤

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Thank you so much

[@JamesAdair9530]

THANK U SCOTT --- butterfly is still one of my all time jams

[@andreaherbranson]

I was crushed when I heard the new. I couldn’t stop playing all of his music for about a month or so. He was an amazing artist. Very talented. 💔🙏🏻😢 Thank you for making this video.

[@theoneandonlypussinboots1180]

I remember hearing Crazytown in high school. I also remember seeing Seth on Dr. Drew's celebrity rehab shows. Seth was not a bad guy, he just could not stay sober. Hope is soul has finally found peace now that he is free of drugs and alcohol. Scott as always, a kind and respectful tribute to Seth. ❤

[@ericaj6092]

Thank you! I remember when “Butterfly”came out, that song is so nostalgic. May Seth Rest peacefully 🤎

[@corybowman9583]

Black Cloud is my favorite Crazy Town song. R.i.p. Shifty.

[@tinawhite6450]

Hi Scott & USA this going to be interesting video much love to all ❤

[@kandn420]

He was my favorite member of crazy town. The album Darkhorse was a good album. Each time I watched sober house or celebrity rehab I was hoping he would get better like some of the others. He was so talented. Thank you Scott for posting this.

[@SteelRims]

Darkhorse is a hidden gem of the then declining nu-metal era. RIP Seth.

[@TandysHandcraftedCreations]

Butterfly is an awesome song, and always will be awesome, RIP Seth, you are missed. TY Scott for bringing us this story, this young man was so full of talent however he may have been full of sadness also, we dont know what was going on in his head to make him turn to drugs i guess, addiction is a disease sadly, and very hard to overcome. I wish he could have survived it tho, but ill always remember him and his music.

[@Catherine3296]

I have never heard of him, thank you Scott for the video. Sad

[@jimmyspears1004]

I was having the time of my life thank you much love

[@oraliamasswadi662]

My Mom died of addiction, she was 64. The struggle IS real and horrific. May Seth and my Mom both rest in peace.

[@RandyLWhitaker]

Crazy Town’s song Drowning will forever be my favorite by them!!

[@Franniiv3]

Great vid! The follow up Single "Revolving Door" was a fave of mine! I agree, their albums were pretty good.

[@lucidkate]

Ill never forget watching the Butterfly video on Much Music as a teen. It was so weird and trippy, the effects seemed so cool at the time. Lol

[@AprilEdwardss]

Rest peacefully, Swifty. ❤ I’m 51 & that song, “Butterfly,” was on the radio, MTV, in clubs, literally everywhere. Addiction is real and my heart goes out to his friends and family.

[@violetthestrange7046]

You are sooo right dear Scott..to never judge people. My mother died of suïcidal overdose on morphine😢 She always was addicted to something, because her life was just a mess. No matter how hard I tried to help her...some people are just fed up with life. They are too good,too soft,to live here on this planet. And I think 'our butterfly' was too❤ Who knows what Hollyweird did to him,just like so many others😢 R.i.P.

I loved this song too. My first love died on an overdose of h. in 2008. My heart is still broken from that. Addiction is such a bad thing.
