Aug 20 2008Leroi Moore of Dave Matthews Band passes away at 46

First! and sad!

A June ATV attack on his farm? What the heck does that mean???

ATV attack, huh? Little fuckers are getting out of hand... first in Iraq and now, here, on our own turf. Vote McCain, he'll stop these senseless 4-wheeled atrocities.

Fewer dead black men.

More white and caramel women in bikinis please. Under age 30 and 120 lbs.

Thanks in advance.

His ATV flipped and landed on him crushing his ribs and lungs.

Ohh Boy....rough times for DMB fans

Yeah - definitely sad news. I just wish Fish didn't fuck up the obit... Oh well - let's get sauced.

Jesus Christ people. Show a little respect. If you don't have something nice or relevant to say, then don't say anything at all. A kind and gentle soul just passed.

I've been to 25 shows with LeRoi and I'll never see him stage left again. It was heartbreaking news to come home to last night after work.

Sad. RIP, man.

They say celebrities die in threes; 2 other famous black men recently died and their names slipped my mind. He will be missed by all the Dave Matthews fans and I am one of them.

Definitely a bad month for black men!
And #9 you are an ass, grow the fuck up!!

#9

The other two would be the following:
Isaac Hayes
Bernie Mac

I enjoyed watching Leroi perform with Dave Matthews in concert. He will be missed.

#10

Go back to school and learn how to express yourself properly you loser!

Rest in peace Leroi.

That blows.

He's left us for the big Blow Job in the sky.

I'm not one for conspiracies but this shit is starting to creep me out:

Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes, Morgan Freeman (almost), and now Leroi... all within the span of a couple weeks

Dave Matthews is overrated. Which is the next one to die? Bernie Mac, Ike Hayes, this nobody..yet the very white Patrick Swayze is beating pancreatic cancer.

White people are the toughest I guess.

I'm not one for conspiracies but this shit is starting to creep me out:

Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes, Morgan Freeman (almost), and now Leroi... all within the span of a couple weeks

Any chance DMX can be added to the list? It would certainly clear the court docket in numerous states...

Why is this guy so special? I feel sad for his friends and family, but I saw 13 Americans die in a helicopter crash in Iraq and did anyone other than their families care? Fuck no. Fucking liberals use it as a way to trash our Country.

I've always wondered, which came first, the annoying frat kid or DMB.

Am I the only one who thinks it's bit crass that Dave Matthews did his show last night? I know 'the show must go on' and all that, but I would think that the death of a man who you worked and toured with for what? 20 years? might be a bit heavy. Personally, I would be too devastated to go to work.
Nah, we gotta get paid!

And yet... Starr Jones lives...

He shouldn't have bought a racist ATV.

I gotta say Superficial writer I always credit you with recognizing the few times class is called for in celebrity reporting. Every famous passing is posted without any catty comments and if there's one time to do that it's when someone has died. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for you catty comment writers! You don't get to make fun of dead people anymore! They're not around to defend themselves anymore and they have a grieving family out there somewhere that could easily read this. It just isn't right.

RIP LeRoi. For those of you who think it's in poor taste for 'the show to go on', I'm sure that's the way he would have wanted it. He played with his friends for years, and he would want to be remembered with the music he helped create. I am excited to see the Band in a few weeks, but he will be sorely missed, and there will be a solemn mood for the remaining tour. It's not all about the money, it's about living out your life.

#21

Yes I think you are because as a performer I would think that Leroi would want the show to go on and celebrate his life at the concert instead of just mourning his death. Even Paul McCartney wants people to celebrate his life with music when he dies.

#24: so... if Leroi was still alive, he'd be sitting on the internet defending himself against anonymous comments made by people on gossip blogs?

1. It's Dave Matthews BAND, not Dave Matthews. He's not the only member.

2. It wasn't at all crass or cold for them to go on with the show. Music is what they do and Roi would've wanted them to get out there and carry on. It's the spirit of the DMB family. Music is a catharsis.

God is speaking out...CAN YOU HEAR HIM? RIP Leroi.

Bummer. I haven't liked Dave Matthews since that shitty "Everyday" CD and then started jumping on the political bandwagon blindly supporting assholes like Gore and Kerry but had been a huge fan in the early 90's. I'd seen the DMB a couple of times, sad to hear of Leroi's death, I didn't even know he'd been injured in an accident.

I hate saxophones, they're like the instrument made to sound like a fart but Leroi and the guy from Morphine's playing always sounded good to me.

RIP LeRoi!

Such a nice guy, he will be missed. I remember meeting him once after a concert. a very Cool Cat. DMB will never be the same.

Iconic??

#30

I hope the American people get better educated about what is important in America. Too many people like you buy into the bogus republican rhetoric.

Rest in Peace Lerio.

#19 people care but haven't even heard that happened. Probably because it doesn't make 'entertaining' news for the media and makes people sad :'( and angry >:( the government likes it that way

Crash into mee-hee

RIP

#35 Fuck you and Leroy. Some asshole who blows isn't what's important in this country. I'll piss on his grave and yours too when you do us all a favor and drop dead.

Man, some of you people are really ridiculous. A person dies, and all you fuckheads have to say is this shit? No wonder you hang around sites like this... nobody can kick your pathetic asses for unleashing some uneducated, stupid ass bullshit.

I'm going to miss him so much! I was looking forward to seeing him and the gang again really soon in concert. He was an absolutely amazing musician. The world is at a huge loss.

<3 :(

Did anyone really know who the fuck the asshole was? Maybe .1% of the population. This isn't news. It belongs in the obit section

RIP Leroi.

#42 is a Douche Bag.

#41....fav DMB song.

Sad day. Seriously.

Only faggots and half-fags liked Dave Matthews. So stick it up your ass

My prayers go out to his family and friends and to all the members of DMB.

My Tribute to LeRoi Moore - http://www.redux.com/playlist/dave_matthews_band_leroi_moore_tribute

How is God speaking out? Just curious.

Hey Wellsley Snipers, plenty of people know who this man is. And he lived a MUCH more meaningful life than sitting around posting hate-filled juvenile crap on the Internet to satisfy a perverse fetish for pissing people off. Don't worry, take solace in the fact that when you kick the bucket one day, your life is probably so worthless, even your own mom won't bat an eye. There... there... does that make you happier now?

Must be something in the fried chickunz

How incredibly sad. May your soul rest in peace, Leroi.

It really is pathetic when true fans and admirers want to come here and post their thoughts of sympathy and goodwill, only to have to wade through the profanity-laced muck of people who are too ignorant to know better. Don't you have any sense of decency for the departed?

Yes, LeRoi was most certainly iconic. Apart from the Marsalis brothers or Kenny G, how many mainstream saxophone players can you name? Or better yet, how many sax players can you name who are in a band which consistently sells out shows and releases top-selling records? Not to mention that LeRoi co/wrote and/or arranged most of their songs. If that isn't iconic, I don't know what is.

I have seen 10 DMB shows, and they will clearly never be the same. Rest in Peace, LeRoi. You will be missed dearly.

#19. Bullshit! You are a lying, pathetic, fudge-packing, cocksucker. You are too fucking stupid to serve in the U.S. military. Post your DD-214 or STFU, bitch!

Kristy - You douche, How about Clarence Clemons? Dumb shit.

P.S. - If you saw 10 DMB shows then you've obviously wasted a fair chunk of your life on bullshit. Take a whack of this doobie and chill.

Too bad he couldn't have taken the rest of the band with him........

if there was any justice his ATV would've crashed into the entire shitty band.

I remember when people had class, a lot of you obviously don't. I don't know much about Leroi, but appreciate what he did. RIP. Thoughts and prayers to family and friends.

Stay classy San Diego....oh, and you too, Matt...

douche.

"It's always easier to leave than be left," Matthews told the crowd.

It's also easier to be the pisser rather than the pissee...just ask Kim Kardashian...

Can someone here please explain the difference between The Dave Matthews Band and Hootie and the Blowfish...?

^a dead guy named leroi....

#51, Kristy
You could not have said it better.

All these other scumbags that have nothing but negative things to say probably have a micro penis and if I was a dude with a micro penis, I would be doing the same shit because I would be pissed at the world!
So to all of those who are low down dirty scumbags with horrible comments, we all know, YOU HAVE A MICRO PENIS!
Say what you want, you know and we know the truth.

He is a talent guy. His music is awsome It's said he recently joined a celebrity site named "Richromances.com.com". Many fans are talking about this. Who know his screenname at that site?

61 -
Let's leave my micro penis out of this shall we...? I used to sport a pee pee that would have made John Holmes blush but it was run over by an ATV and...ouchy...now you know the rest of the story....

All I have to say for these worthless kids on this website who don't know there asses from a hole in the wall KARMA!!!

LeRoi will be missed!!

DMB is by far the best band around, there music is insperational and meaningful, maybe if you cowards would listen to it, you would get something out of it, cause the lyrics are wonderful and all have a story behind them. But seems everyone with the negativity in this chat has blinders on but then again maybe there just geeks trying to be cool on the computer cause thats the only way they think they can be!!

Anyways Peace Luv N DMB 4Lyfe!!!

oh darn. rich guy dies on his rich guy farm while riding his rich guy recreation vehicle. oh what will we do now? how many more rich guys can we afford to lose? oh darn! oh darn!

plus, his band sucks.

Remember people this is a celebrity news website... sorry but you will not hear one thing about the other great people in America that pass on because this is a celebrity oriented site. A good share of those in the entertainment industry are familiar with bands. However, the mass public may not be.

For those who have been part of a solid team in their life they know or might have some kind of understanding of the sadness this would bring to fans. DMB is a solid group. I am glad they continued on with the tour. RIP LeRoi.

Damn... very sad. I'm a sax player and a fan of DMB, but didn't hear this until just now. Major bummer.
