Craig Owens Tribute
I originally wasn’t going to share this. It was just something I just kind of decided to put together one day. But with everything going on these days, I figured that I’d share it with everyone.

His words have always been there for us when we needed strength and comforting, so let’s be there for him and show him that we all still love him.
Craig…I hope you’re okay. I know you’re going through a lot right now and all. Just know that each and every fan is here for you 1000%. We love you.I’m so scared right now. It’s seriously been keeping me up the past few nights…Just one tweet, one post, please…just post something to let us know you’re alright. I’m legit tearing up right now because thoughts are running crazy in my head. Please be okay, Craig…please…I really don’t know what I would do if something happened to you. Just be okay…please…You’ve saved my life with your music so many times…I just wish I could write something that would be the same for you.

I’m really not SUPER bummed about D.R.U.G.S. splitting. I love them all. I really do. They made the last year and a half-ish of my life livable. Nick is one of my favorite people ever and I just really love them all as people.
But for me, Chiodos > D.R.U.G.S. & I’ll tell you why.
Chiodos was there for me for the toughest years of my life. Craig, Matt, Pat, Brad, Derrick and JASON - ugh, Jason I miss him so much! They were my life line all through high school and the years that followed. Chiodos impacted me more than words can ever explain. And everything they went through as a band, I went through right along with them. Losing Derrick, almost losing Craig to the hand of death, twice - It was a long emotional ride and I wouldn’t change it one bit. It made the bond I have with them unbreakable.
When they got rid of Craig, I was devastated… what all you DRUGS fans are feeling right now, all the pain and sense of loss, try multiplying that by 100. That was what losing Chiodos felt like - and it was losing Chiodos. Without Craig there was no CHIODOS. Craig is the heart and soul of everything he does. Chiodos was his baby, his child, and that was taken away from him.
I sat by as he reached rock bottom and continued to support him as he worked his way back to the top again.
I support Craig in everything that he does.
I’ve seen DRUGS a total of 13 times, that’s more than double the amount of time I’ve seen Chiodos. And I loved every single minute of every single set. I was thrilled he was able to get back on his feet and take over the world again. But there wasn’t one time, when Craig was on stage with DRUGS, that he got that look in his eye. The look where you can almost see the fire burning, the passion igniting right there in his blue eyes. I miss that look - that fire.
And not just Craig, I’ve miss everything about Chiodos. Bradley’s incredible piano playing, Jason’s short shorts and his stupidity. The pranks they all used to pull on each other. And then just musically. They meshed together so incredibly well. It was perfect harmony. The best nights of my life were spent in a venue with those men.
It took me a very long time before I was able to listen to Chiodos again. I couldn’t stomach thinking about what they did to him. But it’s been three years. They’ve changed, Craig has changed. And Craig has forgiven them! And they him.
This is the dawning of a new era in music! And I, for one, couldn’t be more excited for everything that is to come.
I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts as well.
