I wonder if the new album will be dedicated in memory of Larry ‘Bud‘ Melman? That'd be pretty damn sweet.

Also, can anyone tell me who Splinter is dedicated to? Not just his name...like, who is he? Always wondered...

The Splinter record was dedicated to the memory of Doug Thompson Kucouyf.

He sang in a band called Downer and passed away...thus "in the memory of".
There's a bio on the Roadrunner website about this band, but his name isn't correct:

Prior to that, he was in a band with Dexter and Greg before they became The Offspring. He was the singer though, not Dexter. I assume they were still friends!

Kucouyf wasn't his name huh? It's an anagram for 'fuck you'.

Doug Thompson was in the band in the early days, before Noodles or Ron.

Sorry for bumping this, but I was just looking at the booklet of Splinter and found this. Does it mean that Doug is dead?

There was a thread (http://www.offspring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18257) about him even before this one.

Is this Doug the same guy who once was the band's singer and later became a doctor?

I found this:

It doesn't say Fuck Doug Thompson. It says:

"This record is dedictated to the memory of Doug Thompson KUCOUYF"


KUCOUYF was Doug Thompson's nick name. He was the singer for Manic Subsidal in 1984. He died in 2003.

Maybe that's true.

according to a prominent party member, jim benton wasnt REALLY in the "band", but was more used (in a noodles buying alcohol way) because A he had a drumkit that he let dexter play with and B let them play in his garage.

Yeah I think all of the recordings of The Offspring/Subsidal were made with Dexter/Greg/Noodles.

Ah, like Jason Everman in Nirvana? (He supposedly played rhythm guitar, but all he really did was pay for the recording of Bleach)

Dexter was the first drummer, then, James Lilja, and then, i think it was Ron.

After Dexter it was Jim Fenton, then Lilja, then of course Ron.

Wait. I know that Doug has been the first vocalist. But I was confused when I saw that he is dead,
