So it's 630 on a Monday evening here here in South Korea and I find out Brian Turd has been shot dead in the streets of New Orleans. I don't know so much how to take all this right now. I can't believe it but I also sometimes can't believe he lived this long. Yet some other times I also feel like we'd both live forever. We survived so much it just seemed like if we were going to go early then our number should have been up long ago.

Right now it's all just sinking in. I don't know if I'm sad or angry or nostalgic or fucking angry.

I'm definitely angry at whoever shot him. I don't know the details but I do know that if you bring a gun to a fist fight then you are lower than cowardly. If it was a mugging then they are big piece as ass shit. You can look at Brian and just know you won't get more than 20 bucks and his life, any life, is so much more valuable than that.

He had his dark moments, an understatement I know, but he had his damn charm too. He was a genuinely funny mother fucker. I think those that got to know him personally agree that he would be a true friend till the end. He often told me that he didn't care if I deserved an ass kicking or not that no matter what i did he would always be there to help me out if he saw one coming my way. Not just to have my back but to be at my side or even in front of me. I know that friends ought to try and set friends straight when they are wrong but it feels good to have someone like that in this fucked up world when things aren't always cut out to be so black and white and he was that someone for me.

I remember the first time I met Brian I was 16. He pulled up to my dad's house in a old big ass truck that would later come to be know the "Motel Dodge." He had Cannibal Corpse cranked and was sporting one hell of a mullet. He quoted the lines most would find most disturbing but he found most entertaining and would let out his patented Beavis and Butthead-ish laugh.

Speaking of Beavis and Butthead we even rode our bikes together to the very first issue of the comic book when it came out. I'm sure many teenage friends did this but we were in our 20s.

Just found out he was walking his dog when he was shot. Completely fucked.

I can't really think too straight anymore. I'll add some more details when I get them. Please add some of your own if you have any.

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans police said they are investigating the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old man.

The shooting happened in the 2800 block of Chippewa Street at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday.

Investigators said officers responded to a call of gunfire. Upon arrival, they said they found the victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The victim's name has not been released pending notification of next of kin.

Neighbors in that area said the crime camera at that intersection has not worked for a while.

A spokesperson from Mayor Ray Nagin's office released a statement that said, "...it was noted in post-storm wrap media conferences that several crime cameras were severely damaged during the storm."

It was not indicated that the crime camera on the corner of Sixth and Chippewa streets was one of the cameras damaged during Hurricane Gustav back in September.

The statement also indicated that "the cameras would be in the process of repair immediately."

Members of the Irish Channel Neighborhood Association said they have been complaining about the problem for months.

A detailed work plan and status reports on progress were provided to the police department, City Council and the mayor.

Crimestoppers said it is offering up to a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of those who are responsible.

Citizens with information regarding this crime are asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll free at 1-877-903-STOP (7867). Callers do not have to leave their name nor testify in court to receive the reward.

AND THE POLICE STILL HAVE HIS DOG BIRD. SHE WAITED WITH HIS BODY.

OMG! I cant believe he's gone. I cant imagine life without Brian. I was so sad when he said he was moving back to New Orleans, I just never figured he wouldnt come back. And Bird, what a loyal companion.

We will miss you TURD!

My condolences.

I recently got to know Brian when I check out a couple of their gigs. I briefly got to work with him at Island View before I left and we always took a little time to shoot the shit and he seemed to be in good spirits and moving in a positive direction. He will be missed.

Dean, Dwain, Jason and Tiffany. My heart is with you. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

My favorite Brian memory is the time we were all on Chad's porch at about 4am, drunk, and he told us he always wanted to be a kindegarten teacher. Then, we all sang the Apples and Banannas song.

The first time I met Brian was at Marsh and Daphne's house during a music festival- they had a house full of people and I woke up to Brian Turd trying to spoon me- AH!!! It was harmless though- just annoying.
I liked him and always thought he was so lost. He witnessed a young kid get gunned down in our old neighborhood in the LGD, it really shook him up. I'm so sad to hear it happened to him, so senseless- what a terrible way to leave this earth. At least he had his dog by his side.

I only felt safe when he was working! Plus his presence and laugh and great company! Such a sweet guy...My heart goes out to all his closest friends, Bird, and family. Brian You Are Missed

Brian was an intense, often frightening guy to have around. Good dude none the less. Heart of gold, but sure to snag the last 3 beers from yer fridge, quick to ask a ride to the show, a spot on the cover, a couple beers on your tab, and half a pack of smokes all in the same night. I loved seeing him around, so long as it wasn't my house when I had to work the next day. Brian lived a life too few in their 30's worrying about future and responsibilities have the courage to. But he always seemed so much happier than me and my friends with career jobs, checking accounts, bills, and, um, food.

The first memory I have of Brian (199-something) was The Minions pulling up to a show via broke down vehicle on top of a tow truck. The tow truck lowered their vehicle (them still inside, which I'm not even sure was legal), they got out like it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Then proceeded to blaze through a set on the stage of this bizarre, short-lived strip club on hwy 49 South of Hattiesburg Ms.

Last time I remember hanging out with him (a year or so ago) was a 3am drunken after party jam session in my old basement. Brian was all excited about playing together, and I felt really bad knowing I wouldn't commit to it in the morning. One of the last things I remember him saying was "huh huh, hey Billy, you know I'm gonna fuck your girlfried". Stuff like that was funny coming from him.

I can't see Brian starting anything while out walking his dog. But I also can't see Brian backing down from anything. I can only hope that somewhere the piece of shit who ended Brian's life is dead in an alley, or in some hospital missing a few teeth awaiting a life of being ass-raped in Angola.

Although I probably still wouldn't allow Brian to live on my couch... I will miss running in to him every now and then, and I'm horribly shocked, pissed, and disgusted to learn the dude went out like that.

RIP Nigger!
sux.

I really don't know what i can add to this. Brian was an incredible guy with a unique approach to everything in the world. I don't think it can ever be stressed enough that from his daily life to the lyrics he wrote he actually was the larger than life Brian Turd,not just some slumming yuppie with a cutsey "punk" nickname. He lived the life you'd read about in books without even trying because that was just the way he was,200% real 24/7.

A true Outlaw Scumfuck with a heart of gold,he was able to get away with outrageous shit. But he also never pissed you off (for too long anyway) because his sincerity and the good nature of his character always shined through.

His creative genius can't be duplicated,and his presence can never be replaced. I was looking forward to seeing him more often when i returned to NOLA... we were supposed to start playing together in a band once he got on his feet. In light of this horrific bullshit i'm just glad i got to hang with him before he was taken from us,and to have know him in my life.

The Shit House Poet Laureate. The Mean Motherfucker. The Good Friend.

I'll always remember you,knucklehead... Brian Thigsen FOREVER.

My heart goes out to all of Brian's nearest and dearest friends and family.
My hope is that all of you might come together and be unbroken during this tragic time-
that you find great strength and compassion to heal your hearts.

I met Brian some 15 years ago.
When everyone else in my life had bailed on me, Brian stood by my side.
He spoke to me honestly and offered me a helping hand.
His heart was tender and his intentions were good.
He gained my trust when I trusted no one.
He did not offer me false hope, but rather redeemed my faith in humanity through his actions.
For this, I will never forget him.
I leave this as a testimony to Brian's compassion.
May the same be shown to him that he so freely gave to me.

May that truth and kindness shine on you, Brian, and let it be so reflected in the pages of your life's work. Peace be with your soul, my friend.

I was just posting to another blog that I was going to miss that fucker!

I think you know best that he and I had this LOVE TO HATE YOU relationship.
We both admitted to each other many times that we enjoyed getting under each others skin.
It was sick... it brought us pleasure to piss each other off...!!!
Having a beer one minute then trying to kick each others ass the next..

I'm soooo going to miss whacking him with anything I could throw on the stage.... Although that fucker would blame me even when I wasn't guilty... :)

It was a sick and twisted friendship.... It will be missed!!!!!! :(

NOLA folks... I know it's not much, but there IS a $2,500.00 reward from Crime Stoppers.
Somebody somewhere fucking knows something.
Whoever the killer is, there's a good chance that somebody he knows would sell him out for $2,500.00. It's worth a shot. A couple grand would buy a lot of crack. I recommend as many nola folks as possible making a shit-ton of fliers and wall-paper the city. Or at least the neighborhood and surrounding areas where Brian got gunned down. If I wasn't 7,000 miles away, I'd do it myself.

fuck. The first night I met Brian was in Biloxi at a show we played with the Turdz, and he totally scared me. The second night we played with the Turdz in New Orleans and he spit on me and yelled at me while I played and he totally scared me. By the third night our bands played together, I was riding on the back of his motorcycle (at least I think it was his) with him, completely wasted through alleys with no hands on the handle bars and cracking up the whole time. Then he broke into the empty apartment next to his so that we would all have enought room to crash. When the landlord kicked us out the next morning, I told him to give me a Les Turdz t-shirt and he gave me the only one he had left. The one off of his back. The stinky one off of his back. That was way back in 2001 I think. I still wear the shirt. Alot. My heart goes out to all of you that knew him way better than I and are hurting.

The last time I remember seeing Brian was before he had moved back to Biloxi or New Orleans from Pensacola on a Halloween night dressed as G.G Allin. I had lost contact with him whenever he moved but remember all the memories though they were short as compared to the ones he had with his closest friends. I remember when we rode together to The Recess Records fest at the State Palace Theater and stopping on the way in Biloxi for a friend of his funeral whom was a biker. I've been to a couple of the Turdz shows along with watching him with The Minions. Sad that this all came about as I found out around 1A.M. this morning. My condolences out to his family, friends and fans who've ever watched him perform.

God Bless!

I've known Brian for 10 years. One show at the mercury theater in hattiesburg he jumped on my back and I knew in my head I was going "out" like my sanity when I started to fall. Then he got off and I was relieved. I thought even if I had to I could never play football if that's what getting tackled is like. He used to take off his shoes and let loose the "phantom" the worst foot rot anyone ever smelt. He ate brownies once and was so catatonic I can see him saying,as if he'd just stumbled from a wreck, "it was too much". I was supposed to be there then too. All the times I called him on my cell whilst drinking out at the barn he'd egg me to come down and hang out and the one time I tried I couldn't get him on the phone. I never understood why anyone was so friendly since everyone here in petal is a douche bag and it really changes a person. I'm sorry I wasn't there more. I'll miss him.

I'm not racist at all, but from living in NOLA a good chunk of my life, I can tell you...it's not safe to be white and walk in most of that city. Regardless of race, NO ONE deserves that.

RIP Turd.
