Leroi Moore
1961-2008

Awesome sax/ clarinet/ flute - player for Dave Matthews Band died suddenly last night due to complications from an ATV accident a few months earlier that severely damaged his lungs.

True to form, DMB is still scheduled to play a show tonight in LA.

Many of you may not like these guys, but this was the first band I truly identified with in Middle School. I played saxophone and Leroi was my GOD.

Pretty shitty way to start the morning.

    Oh man.. that sucks. I know a couple of people that are hard-core DMB fans too; I think they'll be pretty saddened about this.

    it was always cool to watch leroi during a concert because the dude had horrible stage fright

    thats the reason he wore sunglasses on stage, so he didnt have to really see the crowd. if he didnt have his sunglasses he would play with his eyes closed

    there were times when the crowd would really connect with him (like on his birthday at The Gorge and the crowd would sing happy birthday to him) that you could tell he was really touched

    i was going to make a death pun with a dave mathews band song title, only i can't name a single one of their songs. every time i think of one it's either actually a coldplay song, or a five for fighting song.

    Just make up some lyrics to a song. Nobody can understand what the fuck Dave Mathews is singing about anyway. You listen for the music.

    Maybe it has something to do with this unseasonally cold weather were having. That always kills off the old people too. Do you feel cold Malkor?

    I don't think that would work. The people who are dying are performers, LARPiing is a performance. Are you trying to get me killed?

    Aw, man. This sucks.

    I started playing sax a few years before DMB really made it big and Leroi was the man to look up to.

    I'm picking up my tenor this weekend for him. God damnit.

    if you ever go through charlottesville, do yourself a favor and stop by millers bar

    its an old pharmacy that still has the pharmacist's shelves stocked with liquor bottles and counter for the bar

    they have a great bbq bacon cheeseburger and a really cool outside bistro

    the stage that dave matthews, leroi moore, boyd tinsley, carter beauford and stefan lesard started playing on is still there and used by new local bands

    this stage that launched these huge multi million dollar careers that sell out the biggest venues in the world is only a foot off the ground, and is about the size of a queen size mattress

    I heard about this on the radio this morning. Apparently Larry King announced it Live on... Larry King Live and said he'd just died from a TV accident.

    I think it's time for Larry to think about retirement.

    If I was king, I would put DMB and Nickleback in a pit full of weapons and make them fight for my amusement. Then I would fill the pit with acid or concrete when they were done.
