Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I haven't been this upset in a long long time due to a loss.
When I was 5, my grandfather died, but when we're young, it doesn't hit as hard. Extended family members have died since then but none that I was so close with so they didn't hit as hard either. Closest thing was my best friend's father when we were 10. At 23, when you're questioning the meaning of life as it is, this is just painful. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
10 years with ya Roi you will be missed!!! RIP

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
ahem...
wow... just got off work and heard the news. My buddy had told me "Did you hear the news? The DMB news?" and I knew without a doubt that this is what happened. When he was re-admitted to the hospital I knew it was only a matter of time. And the way Dave had talked about it and the quick 'rip-it-off-like-a-bandaid' replacement with Jeff Coffin pretty much had me believing we had seen the last of 'Roi whether he passed or not. Plus, after Isaac Hayes died I knew we were in trouble because the good ones always go out in threes. I am sad. Though I knew the days with 'Roi were over long ago I didn't really expect to hear this. LeRoi Moore will always hold a dear place in my life and the music he helped create is written on my soul. I'll miss him. I wish the best to LeRoi's family and to the Dave Matthews Band. It was only a matter of time before we lost one. I hope the band continues to play, but it wouldn't suprise me to see only 'Dave Matthews' on all albums except this next one. They might see this as a proper time to close the chapter of the Dave Matthews Band after this tour. I really don't know how to react. I need to smoke a bowl and get some sleep... I feel like I could shed a tear. Godspeed, LeRoi |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I have tears in my eyes listening to #41 from Live In Chicago.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
R.I.P LeRoi. This news has deeply saddened me.
If any of you have facebook, I made a group in honor of LeRoi, where everyone can share videos of him, post pictures, and just discuss how much he has touched our lives. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=28115121372 I wish this news weren't so :( |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.

R.I.P. Roi and THE Dave Matthews Band as we've known it. |

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I just know that no matter what age I am, I can pop on some DMB and it will remind me one of the best days of my life (so far). The fact is I feel like part of that has disappeared tonight, and I can't bare to think that DMB will never be the same again because Mr. LeRoi Moore isn't wearing his sunglasses on the right side of the stage, standing next to one of the largest human beings I've ever seen.
I said this earlier in the thread, but I'm not sure if I'm going to another DMB show for a while. "Angels have all gathered round..." |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Dave Matthews Band Saxophonist Dies
08/19/2008 5:14 PM, E! Online The Dave Matthews Band brass has been silenced. Saxophonist LeRoi Moore, one of the founding members of the Virginia-based jam band, died Tuesday afternoon at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, E! News has confirmed. He was 46. Exact cause of death is unknown, but it was due to complications from critical injuries that Moore sustained in a June 30 ATV crash on his farm near Charlottesville, Va. Moore, who suffered a punctured lung and broken ribs at the time, had not performed with DMB since his accident, but had returned to L.A.—where the band is performing tonight at Staples Center—to begin an "intensive physical rehabilitation program," according to a statement released by DMB. After opening tonight's show with "Bartender," Dave Matthews quieted the audience and informed them that "our good friend LeRoi Moore" had passed away. "He gave up his ghost to heaven and we will miss him always," the singer said. DMB then played the sax-heavy "Proudest Monkey," off of 1996's Crash. A solo played by Jeff Coffin, the Béla Fleck & the Flecktones member who has been sitting in for Moore all summer, prompted a huge round of hollers and applause. "It's easier to leave than be left," Matthews said a couple of songs later. The band's website is currently set up in homage to its late saxophonist, with its home page reading, "In memory of LeRoi Moore...1961-2008." Although he seemed to be out of the woods, Moore was rehospitalized July 17 in connection with his injuries. Moore, a jazz-influenced musician who played bass, baritone, tenor, alto and soprano saxophone, as well as flute, clarinet and penny whistle, was credited with arranging many of the tunes Matthews wrote—songs that nearly always provided chances for the backup players to shine. "I have plenty of space to improvise, to try new ideas," Moore once said. "It's almost better than a jazz gig." |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Leroi Moore, may you rest in peace. I will cherish and enjoy your music forever. You will have had a profound impact on the musical world. I have never heard another person play saxophone with such incredible dynamics. I love the music you have created, the songs, the jams, the solos, everything. I hope you sooth the ears of god, we will all miss you.
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
R.I.P. Roi! I will miss everything you were and what memories you gave all of us. I can't believe it happened so soon! Thank you for everything and give us a smile from up above every once in awhile.

Such sad and devastating news. The music this band makes has touched me in ways i never thought music could. It has helped me through rough times and been there for me during good times. Hearing Leroi jam was truly like nothing else.
Leroi you will be greatly missed, and the saxophone will never sound as good as it did when it was in your hands. |

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I was absolutely stunned when I read the news. I live in Denmark, so it was just this morning when I read the news on the ants frontpage, that I found out.
Even though he was "just" a member of a band that I've never met in person, I have very strong feelings about Roi's death. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Leroi, you will be greatly missed, and not only because of your music. God bless you. Rest in peace, friend.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I have to stop reading this thread, every time I do, I get immensely sad again. We all have to be thankful that we had time with Roi at all, and trust that God just needed a really good saxophonist for some sort of kick ass band in the sky. Thanks Roi for being an excellent member of my favorite band, a band that has reached me like nothing else in my life has been able to. My thoughts a prayers go out to the Moore family and the rest of the band and their families.

I've seen this sentiment multiple times on this thread already and find in solace in knowing im not alone in it. It's amazing how the passing of Leroi, a person I had never personally met, has struck a chord with me. I guess that just speaks to the power of the band and their music. Leroi's presence will be dearly missed, and his influence on the band will be made clearer with how the band moves forward from here. If they do. My thoughts and prayers go out to Leroi's family and friends, as well as to the rest of the band and everyone else whose life Leroi touched.
