Jerry Finn died today..

Quote:
Blink-182 and Morrissey producer Jerry Finn has been taken off life support after suffering a massive brain hemorrhage last month. According to a post on the Prosoundweb forum reprinted on Morrissey-Solo.com, Finn's family made the decision on Saturday.

"Even though he did make snail-like improvement these past 31 days, he is not any better for words and has not had any consistency in the tests that the medical team have done for him," a close Finn friend wrote on the forum. "At this time the hemorrhage has done massive damage to his body which will leave him severely disabled and in need of acute care for the rest of his life. We know Jerry wouldn't want to live like this in a vegetative state."

Finn, 38, got his start as an engineer in the early 1990s before shifting into production on such albums as Rancid's "...And Out Come the Wolves." Among his best-known production credits are Blink-182's "Enema of the State" and Morissey's "You Are the Quarry." Finn has also worked with Green Day, Bad Religion, Sparta, AFI and the Offspring, among many others.

Finn had also lent production to Morrissey's upcoming "Years of Refusal," which has been bumped from a fall release to Feb. 2, 2009, according to Truetoyou.net.


He mixed Room Noises.

Are the Dupree's planning on attending the funeral?

We were all shocked and saddened by this news. Working with Jerry was a great experience. You guys obviously knew or remembered that Jerry mixed Room Noises. We spent a few weeks with him in LA after the record was tracked. Super friendly, personable guy. So sad. Thanks for posting this.

Dang, I just remembered who this was. I spent part of a day with Eisley in the mixing studio with Room Noises, Jerry was a great guy. We talked about nerdy things like the awesome replacement cable he had for his Sennheiser HD-500s, and he let me listen to I Wasn't Prepared right off the mixing board with those headphones. Never heard it sound better than that moment!

He and his talents will be missed.

He left a legacy (Room Noises) that anyone could be proud of!

Uhh apparently he didn't die..?

Well, it seems whoever reported him dying after taking him off of life support was wrong!

He was indeed unconscious for an obscene amount of time and probably assumed to have died shortly after, and WAS taken off of life support, but it seems he is NOT dead.

I apologize to anyone who had gotten upset over the previous news of his 'passing'. Let's hope that he STAYS alive, and pray for him and his family so that he DOESN'T die this time.

Again, I apologize for misinformation. Let's hope this news stays true.

It's funny how certain phrases have different connotations. Like "taken off life support" automatically connotes death, even though literally it doesn't!
