LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dave Matthews Band saxophone player LeRoi Moore, one of the group’s founding members and a key part of its eclectic jazz-infused sound, died Tuesday from sudden complications stemming from injuries he sustained in an all-terrain vehicle accident in June. He was 46.

I’m not sure if there are many fellow DMB fans on here. LeRoi was one of the best saxophone/woodwind players I have ever had the opportunity to see play. 46 is just way too young :frowning:

“…cause life is short, but sweet for certain…”

RIP :meh:

:tdown: that sucks… dmb is ok, just some of the douches that listen to them suck.

i don’t doubt he was good or even great, but how many woodwind players HAVE you had the opportunity to see?

aside from school band, i don’t think i’ve seen more than a small handful.

I always thought he would die from asphyxiation due to an elongated jam session… Guess I shoulda held my breath… lmao get it… hold my breath… a woodwind player… karma… anyone … plz

hey thats cool, to each their own. Those that have seen them live can agree I’m sure, this guy was amazingly talented.

newman- only other names that come to mind that Ive actually seen live are Dave Schiavone and Sam Skamaka(sp?), other than that, just the woodwind sections integrated into a few different orchestra shows i’ve had the displeasure of sitting through. LeRoi was by far my favorite, though.

I’ve seen just a few more then a handful… this guy was very good. Not quite great.

is what it is.

I used to like DMB alot a few years back, but have really outgrown them.

12

actually he is well known around the world outside of DMB for his woodwind skills. It is one thing to hate the genre of music, but to say they are all not talented is just stupid. Watch a live show and then tell me they are not incredible musicians.

13

No one really liked DMB but we all used it to get a piece at some point in college

14

:word:

Made for decent drinking songs too

werd, i wonder if they will try to replace him or go their seperate ways :confused:

19

well they have Rashawn Ross who used to be in Robert Randolph, but they have been using jeef Coffin from Bela Fleck to fill in for LeRoi since the accident
