James Vance (October 12th 1965 ? November 29th 1988) was an American teenager from Reno, Nevada, who is best known for having attempted suicide alongside his friend Raymond Belknap in December 1985, after the pair formed a suicide pact while drinking heavily, smoking marijuana and listening to the English heavy metal band Judas Priest. Belknap was instantly killed in the attempt, however Vance survived. Horribly disfigured by the shotgun blast to his face, Vance died three years later.
In 1990 the incident became the subject of an unsuccessful (and now infamous) civil action brought against Judas Priest and their record label CBS by the families of Vance and Belknap, which alleged that the band had hidden subliminal messages (such as "try suicide", "do it" and "let's be dead") in the song "Better By You, Better Than Me" on their 1978 album Stained Class.[4] The suit was ultimately dismissed, however the case cost Judas Priest $250,000 in legal fees, and CBS were made to pay $40,000 to the plaintiffs' attorneys.
The story was the focus of a documentary film, Dream Deceivers, in 1992. The Residents saw the documentary around the time of its release, and had wanted to do "a piece" based on the story for the three decades after having first seen the interview footage of the disfigured Vance featured in the film, which Homer Flynn of The Cryptic Corporation compared to "a train wreck that you can't take your eyes off of". The footage would ultimately inspire The Residents' upcoming "modern opera", Doctor Dark.

Don't know, can't find anywhere online. Either that or suicide, people were probably always staring at him if he ever even left the house looking like that.

According to his FindAGrave memorial:
This reminds me of Alex. I wonder what ever happened to him? I wonder if he's still around? He had some deep emotional issues as a result of the same thing.While in constant pain from his injuries he underwent extensive reconstructive surgery, ultimately lapsing into a coma three years later and dying in the hospital.
You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.

I don't know who Assface is but if I remember correctly, Megan Farmer posted a pic of him during their public meltdown. It was only up briefly and may have inspired the premium Members Only picture thread. He looked very much like this and that's where this emoji came from: . I thought I saved the pic, but don't see it here among my 87 gajillion photos. When I saw Puke's post, I immediately wondered if it was Alex, but Vance died in 1991 so that's not possible.
Good question. Bad aim?
