    Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.

    i am deeply saddened tonight. i came home sad because my girlfriend is heading off to Texas A&M tomorrow. when i got on myspace i saw Leroi tributes and that immediately made my night worse. And i was listening to BTCS - Dreaming Tree outro. thanks for the great music Leroi. my heart and prayers go out to the Moore family, the DMB family, and the community. May he rest in peace

    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.

    My passion for music and musicianship can be traced back to my earliest experiences hearing and seeing Dave Matthews Band, and more specifically LeRoi Moore. He was always my favorite member of the band and will be sorely missed.

    Favorite recorded parts: Let You Down, Spoon, The Song That Jane Likes, Dreaming Tree, Sleep to Dream Her
    Favorite live solo: Proudest Monkey (Live at The Gorge)

    R.I.P. LeRoi / The King / The Stone

    Im not really sure what to say right now. My thoughts are with Roi and his family...

    from the Flecktone's website-

    All our Love to the Moore family, the DMB family and all the extended DMB Family August 19, 2008

    This is from all of us at the Futureman Black Mozart crew ....



    "Dear LeRoi,

    May you always be a light.
    May you always be a friend.
    May what you did for others be done for others too.

    You have been a great friend.
    You have been a great supporter.
    You have been an inspiration for a generation.

    The world will miss you.
    I hope you're playing with Coltrane right now.

    Love,
    --All of us"

    Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.

    Worst news I can remember getting in a long time. I've never lost any close family member before, and it's weird, but because DMB is such an integral part of my life, it's like I've lost someone in the family and it's just about that sad. I'm not sure if it's really hit me much yet, though I bet it will time after time. Seeing DMB's homepage did it for me. Someone said it best before and I agree, I'm just feeling kinda numb about it right now I guess.

    I didn't hear from my brother tonight who definitely would've been first to call me if he'd heard, so I think he went to bed without knowing the news, but I completely lost it sending him a message about and how I was glad we went all out and flew to Cali last year to see them close the tour in Hollywood, the last time we saw him play.

    Anyway, I'll never forget that it was Leroi's sax playing that really got me into DMB when I was in high school and started listening to them cause my friend did, as I was a saxophonist myself around that time and I found a role model to enjoy and emulate. I quit playing the sax at the end of high school but never lost my love for the music. Man I wish I had my horn with me here at my apartment, I'd bust it out for old times.

    RIP Roi, I can't express how much I'll miss ya

    Re: R.I.P. Leroi Moore.

    [SIZE=2]As Reported By People Magazine:


    The show went on for the Dave Matthews Band on Tuesday night, with Matthews paying tribute from the stage to saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who died earlier in the day.


    "We all had some bad news today," Matthews told the sell-out crowd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles after the first song. "Our good friend LeRoi Moore passed on and gave his ghost up today and we will miss him forever.
    "

    Fans shouted Moore's name in tribute as the band resumed playing. Two songs later, Matthews once again made reference to Moore, saying: "It's easier to leave than be left.
    "

    Moore, a founding member of the band, died Tuesday afternoon of complications from an all-terrain vehicle accident in June, the band's rep announced.


    Moore, who had recently returned to his house in L.A. to begin a physical rehabilitation program, died at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, according to the rep.[/SIZE]

    Taken too soon from us. I am just thankful that we got the time with Roi that we did. I'm so glad I was graced with his presence the twelve shows I was at before the accident. DMB will never be the same; I feel like someone just cut something out of me.

    Hope he is having a drink with the Bartender in the sky. Rest in peace, good man!

    This is hard. really really hard.


    Rest In Peace Leroi Moore. We will all miss you so much. The Dave Matthews Band will NEVER be the same without you. Although I never met you, I felt a connection through your music...you are a true talent and the world just got a little darker. I saw you 7 times on stage, and it will not be the same without you. You lit up DMB's music like no one else and inspired joy and happiness. You can never be replaced. Being a fan for so long, I'm crushed to see you go. I'm praying for your family and close ones. We will all celebrate your life like you celebrated it through your music. God Bless.

    "Celebrate we will, cause life is short but sweet for certian..." -DMB

    My dad knows one line of a DMB song and its not even usual lyric and this is is, "..that's my good friend LeRoi Moore on the saxaphone.." Thank you Roi for your countless, countless solos that could put chills up even the devil's spine. You will be remembered forever and of course your sunglasses will never be forgotten.

    R.I.P LeRoi, you truly were the man

    I think they'll play tonight but they're going to heavily play songs that Roi had a major part of. Plus I'm still in shock. I've been sitting here not knowing what to do. I've been playing Spoon over and over and I've been tearing up during Roi's solo. This is really sad.

    R.I.P. Leroi

    I'm sure loving wings and the maker were specifically for him tonight

    I'm glad to see this outpouring of emotion, it really shows how many lives he touched

    my favorite Roi solos will always be the beginning to One Sweet World, he would absolutely tear it up for those three magical minutes

    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.

    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

    Terrible. Great musician, seemed like a grounded humble person as well despite being at the top of his profession.

    Its weird when you want to cry when someone dies that you never even knew. The music he made was amazing and will live on forever. May you be with God Leroi and watching over all of us. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends and to the Dave Matthews Band.

    I can't stop reading everyones posts and listening to #34 and spoon and #41.....its amazing how he touched all our lives. I teared up and my brother asked me why I was crying over someone I never even met....he just doesn't understand. I'm glad you guys do. I wish it didn't happen this way. to soon, to sudden.....we lost a good one...a really really good one.
