It's unbearable losing a brother, let alone two. My older brother was murdered by his friend and my other brother died of complications of Aids. I relate with Joaquin and his family, I'm 49 years old and I miss my brothers dearly.
River would’ve been an absolute superstar in music and acting if he was still alive.. his role in stand by me will still be one of an all time greats!
What remains unforgivable to me is that River was pretty much dying inside that club for over 30 minutes before he collapsed outside. Many witnessed the shape he was in, and ignored it. That was a 30 minute window in which he could have, possibly, been saved.
I went to the Viper Room about 10 years ago. I can't tell you how eerie it felt being there. I even stood right where River died. I closed my eyes and said a little prayer for him. I felt this strange energy, the hair stood up on my neck.
I never knew River personnally. He lived near me in the early 90s and one of my girlfriends was friends with him and his family and used to have dinner with them. I saw RIver at some shows in Seattle. At one Melvins show I was in the pit and so was he. He was sitting on the stage watching the crowd and I was right next to him. Then he got up and started moshing and he was bumping into me. He fell down on the ground and I fell right on top of him face to face on the floor. We just stared at each other like, whoa dude. Then someone picked me up and we both picked him up and the show went on. That my River story :)
I've always felt River Phoenix was my generation's (Gen X) version of James Dean. So much talent & promise - such an empathetic & caring person, whose empathy made him an even better actor. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wonder if someone was jealous of River and took him out. Sad
Every year after River's death, Johnny closed Viper on the anniversary of his death until he sold his portion of the club. There are numerous discussions on River's death. Some say he was actually murdered. Some theories say he was trying to commit suicide because he hated the direction he felt his career going at the time. Fun fact, Christian Slater donated his salary from "Interview With a Vampire" in River's honor.
The desperation in Joaquin’s voice is heartbreaking 🥺
He looked like a younger Kurt Cobain,such a tragedy two great artists😔😔
I love River Phoenix. He was a brilliant actor. When his character cried, I cried. When his character laughed, I laughed. I also enjoyed his singing. What’s sad is, if people were paying attention, he might have lived. May he Rest In Peace.
I'm the same age as you so I remember him coming up in the late 80's. I think back at how absolutely huge he would have been. He was basically if you merged DiCaprio and Depp together. Crazy talented guy, and always humble and shy in interviews.
I grew up in the 90's. River is my generation's James Dean
I was 18 years old and grew up with a huge crush on River. His death was devastating. We lost a real talent that day. Rip
I've been to the Viper Room many times. The place is spooky, not just because of River Phoenix, but other people have supposedly died in the building...
My band has played The Viper Room many times you walk into that men's restroom and you can definitely feel something sad in that room every single time . me and my guitar player didn't say a word to each other we just stared at each other and said do you feel that chills up and down our arms
Man, this hits me in the feels. You cover this material in such a respectful manner. Thank you.
Broke my heart, I'm 46 and was 18 when he died, I had loved him all my teenage years. Corey Haim was another love, what is truly heartbreaking is the truth behind Hollywood and the things they went through to get as far as they did..things aren't always what they seem..
I was at the Viper Room that night with some friends. I saw him there. We left to go to a party in the hills. Crushed me the next morning when I found out. Great job on this.
Poor Joaquin. I've been a fan of his since Her and wasn't aware of River until a little later after I saw that movie.
