Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Still cannot believe this. And it is amazing being the fans that we are, the amount of people that have come up to me like a close friend of mine had died. People do understand how it affects a hardcore fan community. You will be missed Roi.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
so i feelin kinda drunk right now, i dont no just wanted to throw my feelings out into the cosmos because i havent another dmb fan to vent to...but fuck. I was feeling pretty bummed out last night to say the least and my buddy didnt quite understand, saying that I didnt actually know the guy so i shouldnt be that upset or as upset as someone close to him. and it just got me thinkin. yea ive never met him, i dont no him as a person, and yet i was fortunate enough to have him share his career and passion with me amongst many. While i only knew a part of him, i am deeply saddened by this part that i have lost. No matter what mood i have ever been in in my life i have always been able to play a dmb song that somehow fit that situation...and i realized that when it came time for solos or beautiful riffs in the recordings i listen to, it is always the sax part that i sing along with, or have felt the most for, for its elegance or funkiness. I was never a fan of jazz or any other sax player for that matter until i got into dmb 8 years ago...and even when i have heard the greats, i still always have resorted back to a dmb song when i am in need of a graceful comfort. Roi's parts have always given me the chills and i find it amazing that i could find such beauty out of one man playing an instrument. I listened to the gorge release of long black veil with just dave and leroi at work today from 2002 and i just started crying. Sure they might get a jeff coffin or someone else to fill in but its like dave has said..."the one and only leroi moore"...I am grateful for the 59 times i was able to hear him live and I am grateful for the countless hours of music i can listen to forever...i was always amazed by lerois humble yet im about to fuckin rock this tune attitude on stage...while there are obviously people that are hurting way worse than me, i am sad that i will never be able to hear all the notes that good have been, and joyful for all the great moments he has imprinted in my memory of the past 8 years...on the flecktones website they have a line that says "i hope your playing with coltrane right now" and i get teary eyed just typing it...Thanks for letting us be a small part of your life and thanks for being such a large part of ours. Show coltrane how its done!!!
and when i die, you better says cheers cause you and me are hanging out at the pearly gates ill bring the beers... ill bring the beers. :leroi |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
just sitting here reading other fans' posts, i'm listening to iTunes.. and what comes on but American baby intro (studio). It's not that it has LeRoi's sax in it, its just the feeling of the song. It comes in hard and desperate, but at the end Boyd's strings sing toward a brighter end.. its what we ants have to remember-- though it's tough as hell now, we know he's in a better place, jammin with Jerry, Jimi, Janis, all of 'em. We'll miss you LeRoi, but I know He must have needed you more up there then we do down here. Love you man.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
RIP Roi, thanks for everything. Your groovy as all hell.
Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends.... DMB: So Much To Say (from back in the day): Dave: "Hey guys...whats the first line to this song, I can't remember it for the life of me?" Roi (in a singing tone): "I dont know but it has something to do with a small room in your house where you put hats and hang your coats...." Lova ya man. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I'm still blown away. As someone said earlier such emptiness. I saw him this year at Hershey and feel like I took for granted he would always be there.
Rest your soul, Roi. Our love and thoughts go out to your family and you will NEVER be forgotten. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
August 9, 1995 was one of the saddest days of my life. When Jerry Garcia passed away, I was devastated. I felt empty and numb. The voice I so dearly love was silenced forever. The enormous loss I felt that day doesn't compare to the loss I am feeling now. Roi and DMB have been a constant in my life as long as I can remember, my happiest times are centered around them. When I am at a show, I am alive. Maybe it sounds like I am being overly dramatic, but that is the only way I can explain it. The air is sweeter when I am barefoot dancing in the grass. I don't have any other care in the world. I have people in my life who "don't understand" why I am so upset, giving me the "I know you are a fan, I know you spend all your free time and money on going to shows, but you didn't know him" speech, I just explain to them, DMB and fans are family.. it doesn't matter if I am a thousand miles from home if I am at a show, I am not among strangers. Waiting for the show to start gives me the same feeling I used to get when I was waiting for my grandparents plane to land every time they would come visit. They would come several times a year, but every time I was beside myself with excitement and anticipation, and when it was time for them to go, I would beg them, stay, don't leave. Same feeling at the end of a show. Just a little longer...please! When I feel like I am drowning in my daily chaos , I flip to #41.. ALWAYS #41. and as soon as I hear that sax, its like 'hello friend, I have had a shit day, talk to me' and Roi was right there. He takes the wind from his lungs and gives me that breath I need.
My 5 year old son said to me last week while we waited for my 6 year old to finish his guitar lesson, and 10 year old to finish her drum lesson, (my house is pretty loud) "Mom, I am gonna be like LeRoi, but I don't know if I can hold my breath that long" ... mom i am gonna be like LeRoi.. from my 5 year old.. When I told my daughter he passed away, she cried, my sons just stood there blank faced and then my 6 year old said "i wish we could have gone to Charleston with you mom, now we will never get to hear him live" I didn't bother to tell him Roi didn't play that show.. the fact my children, DMB fans since birth, will never be blessed with seeing him play hurts. With all that said, I did know LeRoi, like every DMB fan knew him. I may never have had the honor of shaking his hand, but he was in my home daily, he played for my children before they were born. It does feel like I have lost a close friend or member of my family. In closing, RIP Roi, thank you for every breath you gave me, thank you for contributing to my best memories, thank you for sharing your gift, thank you for giving my son someone he is "gonna be like", nothing would make me prouder. I know you are jammin in heaven, should you happen to run into Jerry up there.. let him know he is missed terribly, as are you. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
It's so strange shedding tears for a person who I've never met before that has undoubtedly touched my heart and my life in ways they probably never imagined. But yet all day yesterday and still this morning I find myself welling up with tears of sorrow and tears of joy at the memory of LeRoi Moore and the staggering range of emotion the music he made along with the rest of the band has brought into my life.
My thoughts are with his family and the rest of the band. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Obviously I'm not a regular poster on these boards but felt the need to express my feelings. I know this is a sure way to find understanding ....
I was introduced to DMB about 8 years ago by an old friend who understands my love of music. The first song I heard was Antsmarching and it changed my life .... as corny as this may sound. Their sound, particularly Roi's magic, blew me away instantly and still does to this day .... even though I don't listen as much as I used to. For me Roi is the heart and soul of this band .... DMB will never be the same without him and that is hard to accept. I am so impressed with the boys continuing on with the tour and with Dave's strength while addressing the audience in paying tribute to his dear friend who he obviously loved very much. They're a class act and part of the reason I've stuck around for so long enjoying their music. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to see them live a few times. Those memories are even more special now. Thanks for listening. It's a sad time in the DMB community. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
smoothd41,
you're not weird at all. its like a family member passed. it is truly an empty feeling. the power of music. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
By no means did I know Roi on a personal level, but I feel as if I lost a good friend. It really hit me this morning as I was listening to Lover Lay Down on the way to work.
We'll miss you Roi, but the memories of you and your beautiful music will be with me for the rest of my life. Thank you. "This I admit Taste so good, hard to believe an end to it Smell touch feel How could this rhythm ever quit Bags packed on a plane Hopefully to heaven" |

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Hey everybody...I know this is a bad time. Such a sad time...
...LeRoi was the humblest of the proudest monkey group. I've been to this website over the years but did not become a member of the website or of the Ants+ Members until only a couple of days ago. On Friday, the Chula Vista show will be my 186th DMB concert. I wanted to say hello in there to everybody here at Ants Marching. The death of Leroi has left me speechless. I was 13 or so when I first heard the band play in '93 and I remember the sound Leroi produced and I told my dad I wanted to hear sounds like that come out of my saxaphone and clarinet. I've been listening to DMB playing at the Roseland Ballroom back in 1995 and Seek Up will be one of those songs that remind me why I fell in love with the band. My favorite part was always LeRoi's. I miss my Dave Matthews Band from those years, my '96...but most especially...my DMB from Red Rocks in 1997 and 1998...that was DMB...that was the band I loved and will always remember. I miss that band. I just wanted to say hello...I hope to meet some people here one day at the shows. Til then, take care. Sleep well tonight. Strand |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I'm listening to Seek Up from Red Rocks 95 and writing the news package I'm doing on Roi...
:leroi:leroi:leroi Such a cool cat, even if he didn't like #41. I miss you Roi. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
the thing is...these musicians leave their heart on that stage and the fact that i as well as the rest of the DMB community are deeply saddened is completely understandable. we all feel a connection to these guys even if we've never met them in person. leroi will be greatly missed, and im sure that many more tears will be shed. i know i cried my eyes out yesterday and im sure i will again today as soon as i put the cd on that a friend of mine made for me...a tribute to leroi. we played it loud last nite...and we played it proud. a bone cruise ill never forget:( we will never forget you leroi...keep on jammin at the ampitheater in the sky. RIP.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
The first time I saw the band was in 95 at the Comcast Center ( great woods) in Mansfield ma. A friend had an extra ticket, I knew nothing about the band. I went as a wing man for a friend, The girl sucked , The band rocked. I fell in love with them, 34 concerts later they are a part of who I am.
At every miletsone in my life DMB has been with me.... Their music has shaped my life... It's funny never meeting him and still feeling as if a part of me is gone forever..... God Bless Leroi, may heaven welcome him with open arms....... I pray for his friends and family.. |

no words can describe the emptiness and sadness inside my heart. even here, on the other side of ocean, heaven is crying about this injustice (it's been raining all week).
though it's absurd, I feel as if I lost my dear friend. I believe, his music made this world somewhat better and he will be remembered always. thank you for everything, our Woodwind Master dusi saldi, LeRoi |

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I'm surprised to find how deeply I'm grieving for Leroi. Again, this morning, I forgot about it for the first few seconds I was awake, then remembered and my heart just fell. I'm not sure I even grieved for my parents like this.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I was trying to play all the great moments of roi that I could remember on wdmbradio.com, but I just couldn't think straight. I still don't think it has completely hit me yet. It will suck when it does. I think the moment it hits me is when I hear Dave say the words from the recording of the show.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
It's been a very sad few days. The music world has lost a true legend. I was lucky enough to see the Grateful Dead over 130 times and so far to see DMB over 60 times. this is the same feeling I had when Jerry died. my thoughts and prayers go out to Roi's family and the DMB family. We will all miss you Roi. Now go play with the angels your music will still be heard.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Last night I listened to the shows I attended on 26 and 28 July 2002. 26Jul was at the Meadows Music Theatre, and it was a very special night for me. It was the first DMB concert I had taken my ex-gf to - so far she was the only girl I've ever "fallen in love with", and this part of the setlist was just perfect:
3. Captain * 4. One Sweet World * 6. Proudest Monkey * --> 7. Satellite * 8. Kit Kat Jam * 9. Lover Lay Down * --> 10. The Stone * 11. #41 * --> 12. Everyday * (Dancing Nancies) 13. Where Are You Going * (Dancing Nancies) That night was SO magical for me and it couldn't have happened without LeRoi. I fell asleep listening to LLD last night (and had some pretty crazy dreams), and I had to hear it again this morning before I could leave for work. That night was six years ago now, and so much has happened since then... man, without LeRoi, I don't know if I'll never be blessed with that innocence again. :( |

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I was having this dialogue about having lost someone you know vs. a celebrity or someone you've never met. Though I've never met LeRoi Moore, I feel he has been an integral part of something (DMB) that has been a tremendous part of my life.
The inspiration that he's provided through his fusion with the rest of the band is something that no other band has provided for me. I can think of numerous songs that I love to listen to while running, or that fill me up with love, or that bring me a centering feeling of peace, and all of them have provided inspiration for me on countless occasions. Though I didn't know LeRoi I feel saddened for not being able to have any new experiences. This is probably the largest someone I did not know that has had a resounding effect on me. Im listening to Let You Down, and his ability was beautiful. It's sad that someone that can create such beauty is no longer with us in a physical form. Wherever you are LeRoi, thank you and you will be deeply missed. With Love Zach |

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Quote:
It's the exact same thing with LeRoi. I never met him, no. I did see him several times in person though. I still felt like I had that connection through his music. It's like everyone I know downplays it because it wasn't Dave Matthews (in the comparison though, not comparing people, but positions. Their view is "Hey, since it wasn't Dave, they can just get a new sax player). The thing is though, I don't know that you can replace Roi. It's not like DMB is the kind of band where they play the same songs every night, and play them the same exact way. These guys are known for their solos, whether it be Boyd jamming on Louisianna Bayou, Carter/Roi jamming the beginning of Say Goodbye, or Roi doing the end of Bartender. Sure, you could get someone else to play sax, but I don't think it'll ever really sound that same. On a (pretty damn ridiculous) sidenote, on MSN's frontpage, they have a section called "A-List Searches". I'm sure you'd believe me if I said LeRoi was in that list, but you'll never guess what these idiots have as his name.... "dead sax player". Are you serious? Even if that's what non casual fans may have searched, at least have some decency to put his name... |

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Finally able to get back on the boards today. First things first... thank you to all my friends who kept me in mind and delivered the news to me as soon as it broke. I didn't want to believe it when I heard and still don't want to believe it. It really puts things in perspective when someone who is such an inspiration both musically and in a career sense passes on. But just the thought that he's probably up there jamming with musicians he's admired over the years is comforting.
It's strange and humbling to think I got the chance to see him at his last 2 shows. Furthermore, I got the chance to actually meet him at his second to last show in Hershey. I guess it really is amazing what a minute can do. I spoke with his cousin today. Being that it was pretty unexpected, she says you just have to keep rolling on. They're all doing well though. |

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
My heart goes out to anyone who is hurting as a result of this. When I first heard, it really didn't hit me. But two days later the reality is sinking in and it's pretty devastating. Roi is the only member of the band I've ever met. It was Hartford N2 2005, Father's day. I was at the Crowne Plaza bar eating lunch and saw LeRoi and the whole Moore clan having brunch in the private dining room. It touched me that they made a point to be together on that day, despite the tour going on. A bunch of us walked over to shake Roi's hand and wish his family a Happy Father's Day. He was a stand up guy. It will always be a great memory in addition to the many others of him on stage. I loved the funky, slow little beat he added to Too Much over the past couple of years. I always looked forward to that part. RIP, Roi. You are missed by more of us than you can ever imagine.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
It just feels really weird. I woke up the morning after and for a second I though it was a dream. I've been listening to a lot of their songs with sax parts in them. Lover lay down, proudest monkey, are my favorite. I listen to them over and over. I can picture him playing them. I've been listening to them for 10 years and I've been to 32 shows. I feel like a little piece of me is missing. I have faith that the band will go on like Roi would have wanted. I will miss him very much and in some way it just will not be the same. I love this band to much. Whatever they decide to do will be ok with me. I think of some of there songs differently now. If there wasn't enough emotion already this just puts it over the edge. We have all watched and listened to him live out his passion and that's way we all feel so connected to him and the rest of the band. it's an amazing feeling that the band has given us. We have to dance harder and sing louder than we ever have before and really let the band feel the love. Were kind of all in this together so we have to be there for each other. Gorge 2009 I can't wait.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/fmx0s4 "You know that they eat more Spam in Hawaii than in any other state. At least, at least that's what Roi said. Seven hundred million pounds? Of Spam. And Boyd-- Boyd, what? Boyd's saying, yeah, not everybody up here, Roi's the only one here that eats Spam though. While the rest of us, sometime eats cheese. That's how he knows that, you see, 'cause he's been eating all this Spam. I like a little Spam, too, myself. Please don't, please don't ever give me any Spam, that's all. And y'all thinking, 'I'm gonna send him some Spam!' And Roi doesn't want any Spam, either, thank you though. 'Cause that's too much Spam for one man." ~Dave, 8.6.00 |

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I know there's about a million people commenting on here and how they're saying how much they will miss & love Roi...and it's the absolute truth when we say the band will never be the same. I'm like some people...it didn't hit me at first- I felt like laughing cuz I thought it was a joke. The next morning, however, it really hit me hard. I'm so lucky to have seen him in this year's tour- opening in the Burgh- I wish by some magical power I could have known it would be the last time I'd ever hear him live. Now I'm not saying I didn't appreciate the concert, but if I would've known that, I definitely would have appreciated it a million times more, you know? It's so hard- he was, like the rest, a main fraction of the band. I'm almost scared to know the band's future plans- I can't imagine not seeing DMB every summer. Well..God bless the fam & of course the band...and all you...I know he's spreading his music to the angels right now.
Rest in everlasting peace. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
its still crazy thinking that ill never see leroi on stage again....i was just watching him kill #41 on the listener supported dvd and its just crazy to think that i wont see that again..on a side note fonzie looks 12 on the dvd
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Just Sunday night, I remarked to my brother that #41 would never feel complete to me unless I heard it with a solo from Roi. Tim's solos this year were great but it's not the same. We both remarked that we were overjoyed that Roi picked up the solo on Grey Street again this year, leaving Rashawn out until the very end. Great to hear him tear it up again!
Very, very sad I'll never have the chance to listen to him play again. Obviously, I never met Roi but he, along with the rest of the band, has become a huge part in my life (So it was kind of like I knew him, you know?). I know it's selfish I'm upset I'll never hear hear his sax again but damn, he was good. Thanks for everything over the years! R.I.P. Roi. :leroi |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Shocked....
At SPAC night 2 this year my boyfriend and I lucked out and bought 4th row seats from some lady in the parking lot that didn't want them (they had been given to her). We seriously sat right in front of LeRoi and Rashawn and I watched as the two of them jammed like crazy. In between songs or when they weren't playing they were over there telling jokes or picking on each other because I could see one say something to the other and they would both start laughing. Living proof that LeRoi loved what he was doing as much as all of us loved listening to him do what he did best. It didn't sink in until I got home from work last night and my boyfriend was watching the Central Park DVD with an empty 6pack in front of him... I immediately joined him. As everyone already knows, it will never be the same... :( |

But its getting better. Today is the best I've felt since I heard the news. Still sad about it of course though. But really, I was feeling pretty good today, til I came to work and signed on to ants and saw the banner. That made me sad again. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Yeah coming in here can bring you down but for the most part it's very theraputic because how everyone is talking about it, sounds dumb when I read what I just typed but it's the truth. But I do feel better today. Yesterday I couldn't think about anything else.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Yeah, its always sad again at first, but I feel a lot better today then the previous two.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
This band and their music has been such a blessing to me throughout my life, it actually feels like a close friend of mine has passed away. It felt like someone punched me in the stomach when I heard the news. But like all great bands of our time who have lost a founding member, DMB should, and will go on. Even though next summer it wont be the same show Im used to seeing for the last 12 years, I will buy my tickets, and sing and dance along with my friends to the music I truelly love!
"Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die!" those words never made more sense to me than today! Thank you Leroi |

Love you roi, thanks for all the memories over the years

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
the guys from the band and the music they create has been more to me in the last 10 years than any other influence. Tears have rolled freely down my cheeks several times without warning in the last 2 days.
Leroi, your contribution to the human collective is unmeasurable. Your heart and personality shine through in every note your instruments played. You have helped to lift my spirits when I was down more times than I can count. You have been a constant stable source of joy and encouragement in a life where nothing else has been stable or able to be counted on. "It's easier to leave than to be left" rings true with thousands and thousands of people this day. Your legacy will be legend, you will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Thank you for sooo much for all the happiness you brought. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
listening to Crush right now.... Roi's saxaphone arrangement is so beautiful.
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
wow...so DMB is the reason i listen and play music. I wish i could come up with something deep and thoughtful to say but im just in shock. It feels like a good friend of mine as passed on.
Roi, i love ya man, i hope you're at peace. You helped bring a lot of people happiness with your music..you will never be forgotten. You were taken far too early, i just hope you were at peace in your life when you were taken. My thoughts are genuinely with your family and friends at this time, you meant a lot to a lot of people. Thanks for everything. For now, friend, goodbye. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I was gone all week up the mountains and then saw John Mayer lastnight the night after Leroid died. It still hasn't set it completely. John Mayer briefly talked about Leroi and then later he played #36 inbetween songs. Perfect, without words, heavenly tune for Leroi and his fans at the show, for others wouldn't know what #36 was. Rest in peace Leroi. We all love you. I'll always love your music and you.
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
edit 34 not 36 lol. Got thats a beatiful piece of music. Perfect for that dedication.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I'm so damn sad. god. i was listening to a concert rip today, and all i could think about was the saxophone i'll never hear again.
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
god bless Leroi and you will be a great addition to the band in the sky. God's a lucky man!
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Sadder still to watch it die than never to have known it.....
RIP Roi...I'm gonna miss you dearly :leroi |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I believe David J. sang it best himself.
Strange but it seems like there's a mutiny brewing inside of me now But I don't want your pity only the promise that you'll stay with me tonight I have the feeling like i have lost someone i cannot live without. Stay strong DMB + Friends. No one will ever replace the great Sax we had. "LeRoi Moore on the sax-o-phone ladies and gentleman" Forever. One Love. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
There is no way i can describe this but tragic. You will be missed forever.
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
R.I.P. LeRoi Moore, you will be sorely missed. I grew up with this band, they have been a constant source of happiness for me. They operate at such a high level all the time, show to show, tour to tour, and despite a change here or there they have been unaffected by the rigors of time. For something like this to happen disrupts that perception for the first time, and it is deeply saddening. We will all miss you terribly LeRoi, rest in peace. I highly recommend sitting alone in a room and watching #41 from Listener Supported in complete silence. My favorite solo from my favorite song, chills every time. That is how I will remember LeRoi Moore.

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I learned about this yesterday and was in a fog the rest of the day. I am trying to come to grips with it today but I just can't seem to get over the complete sadness and depression. I'm in shock....I don't know what to do, I am sooooo sad.....

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
If i had the chance to meet him this was what i always wanted to say:
"I know its not that important, but having played the sax in elementry school, I always felt a little connection with you. Its one of the reasons I started listening, and I cannot express how much I appreciate your music." I always wondered how our conversation would continue, he always seemed so nice in the interviews. and when he smiled you smiled, why is that? |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Listening to the 08-19-08 show now, couldn't help but cry a little when Dave's voice cracks in sadness when he mentions Roi's passing after Bartender.
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I still can't believe things will never be the same...it's so sad LeRoi passed...I'm hoping I wake up tomorrow and everything is just a horrible dream but I know that's not the case...:lorraine

Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Thanks for everything LeRoi.
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
i still can't believe he is gone... Leroi you will be missed.. :leroi
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
i cant get over it. all i can do is keep listening to songs that feature roi. it makes me happy but sad at the same time, knowing he's gone.
RIP Roi...Thanks for memories |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
Thanks for all the jams LeRoi, he will always hold a special place in my heart. He was a special person, and a very respectable man, and I wish we could have him back.
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
I found out today. I knew I loved this band, but it has never been more apparent to what extent. Many times today i have teared up thinking of the times LeRoi's music had made me tear up before. Music so beautiful I would just sit, shakign my head in disbelief that solos and layers could move me, excite me, and explain me, all on an instrument that wasnt necesarily a favorite of mine.
Never in my life have I been moved by the passing of someone I had never met. Thank you LeRoi. You have helped to mold nearly half of my life's worth of music and memories. |
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
RIP Leroi, you will be sorely missed, and forever irreplaceable. Someone may stand in your spot, but it will never be the same again.:(:(:(:(:(:(
|
Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.
i'm sure this has been said already a great number of times, but the only way i'm able to accept this great loss is to constantly remind myself that God wanted a little DMB for himself... RIP roi, DMB will never be the same.
