From the band's perspective, it's great free publicity. They are getting a LOT of it.
Why would the soon-to-be-dead guy do it? We'll probably never know. He COULD have been offered payment (like the Homicide bombers), but I doubt it. More likely he just considers it "going out in style."
Really pathetic.

Wasn't there a similar flap about OKC Bomber Timonthy McVeigh wanting the entire nation to view his execution istead of just the relatives of the victums?

update on this story...
Tonight is the night the band is supposed to have their "suicide concert" - I believe it is scheduled to begin at 9:30 EST.
The lead singer of the band is still vowing to "televise" the suicide on the band's website, but I have a feeling they have lost their site - I checked and am getting "page cannot be displayed". No, I didn't want to watch the suicide - was just following up to see what was happening with this. The host of their site had said he would continue to host it unless served with a subpoena - must have come in the final hour...
