3. How sad is it that Dave is announcing the death of a dear friend, and people are just screaming not even listening to what he is saying. RIP LeRoi. You will be missed.

4. I think that people are going to quote him before comitting suicide "it is easier to leave than be left". Not a responsable thing to say. Alot of teens and young adults attend these concerts.

8. Unfortunately, Garciyalater is right... half of the people at Dave concerts arent there for the music. They're there for the "atmosphere". The real Dave fans... they're the ones who are hurting today. They're the ones who will go to Millers and leave flowers and play a song for LeRoi today.

We will miss you, LeRoi.

9. I don't usually post, but Dave Matthews is truly a class act. Despite the agonizing feelings he must have had, he sucked it up and still performed in memory of his friend and bandmate. Although I'm not a big fan of the band, Dave Matthews really showed me something. Maybe the Amy Winehouse's of the world can learn something here. Appreciate what you have.........while you can. It may soon be gone.

10. Obviously you've never been to a DMB show, nor do you know anything about their fans.
RIP LeRoi, you will be greatly missed :(

11. I'm crushed. My deepest sympathy to his family. Hope he's in Heaven right now Jamming with other music artists, that also left us before their time.

12. I think that there will be people quoting Dave before commiting or attempting to commit suicide "it's always easier to leave than be left". Alot of teens and young adults attend those shows. I work in a Psychiatric Hospital and I can see it already.

13. As a true Dave Matthews Band fan, this news broke my heart. Watching LeRoi play live on stage was always such an amazing and beautiful experience. He will be missed dearly by many...

14. It really angered me that the fans weren't even listening to what he was saying. They should have been having a moment of silence for the fallen band member. Instead they were screaming and cheering just because Dave was on stage. The concert-goers should be ashamed of themselves for being so callous.

15. KAT, I completely agree with you and also the other poster about so-called 'fans' that go only for the atmosphere. It would have been nice to hear Dave, not some retards screaming and cheering. LeRoi, you were the best. So gentile, so kind, so amazing. Make sure you are wearing your trademarks shades, friend, the Gates are bright. Rest in peace, and Godspeed.
