VADER drummer DOC dead at 35[views:13264][posts:49]___________________________________ [Aug 20,2005 9:42am - SUBJUGATE ""] According to a posting at the Polish music web site CGM.pl, former VADER drummer Krzysztof "Docent" Raczkowski (a.k.a. Doc) has passed away at age 35. No further details about his death are currently available. [UPDATE: This has now been confirmed by VADER's official web site, Vader.pl] In a March 2005 statement announcing Doc's departure from the group, VADER frontman Peter said, "Doc pretty hard tried to 'fight' against his weaknesses, which were troubles for all of us. Finaly he had not prevailed over that battle... All in all, he attempted. . . VADER today is not just a friendship anymore — it's our life with armies of man involved in music, releases and — first of all — fans waiting for shows or new albums... This is a high responsibility, not too many know about. If a person, even the most talented one, cannot stand it — [he] has to leave... That was Doc's decision as well." In an April 2005 interview with AbrasiveRock.com, VADER guitarist Mauser elaborated on Doc's "weaknesses," stating, "He had a problem with alcohol and this is the problem. Maybe in the future, if he will be alright, he may be back in the band. Maybe someday. We will see what happens." |

_____________________________________________ [Aug 20,2005 6:49pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] He was thrown out for his substance abuses, my bet would be that's how he died. It is very sad, he was a great drummer on a lot of great records. |
__________________________________________ [Aug 20,2005 6:57pm - dwellingsickness ""] I got their demo and could not stop listening to it for weeks , It was so awesome at the time,I only own like 2 CD's of them though |

I seriously heard that he was a homosexual, so it could be that he died of AIDS. Peter is queer. I met Doc a few years back after a Palladium show, had the distinct pleasure of smoking a nice joint with him and the rest of the band. Incredibly nice dude, gave me a beer and loved speaking english. RIP BRO. |
___________________________________ [Aug 21,2005 1:45pm - dyingmuse ""] ha ha ha that darth vader thing is a riot!!!! bummer about "the doc" he was a sick drummer. though i haven't really liked them since the ultimate incarnation. i remember when we played with them on that tour in 93...doc came up to me and said he loved my drumset. it was a slingerland...i guess they were big money over there in poland. rip! \m/ |

____________________________________ [Aug 24,2005 9:34pm - anonymous ""] I've heard rumors that DOC was a homosexual for the past few years too. THose rumors got them kicked off of a few metal tours, and proved to be a fiasco for the 2004 US tour. He drank very heavily (like many homosexuals do), but it was his sex life --not drinking-- that eventually forced the decision that DOC had to leave VADER. |
___________________________________________ [Aug 24,2005 10:32pm - dan_bloodblister ""] who the fuck are you? why the fuck would vader get kicked off a tour because their drummer was gay. haha by the way guys, any of you who drink alot are gay. sorry. |
___________________________________ [Aug 24,2005 11:20pm - Defnasty ""] I'm not gay? |
___________________________________________ [Aug 24,2005 11:21pm - dan_bloodblister ""] oh well according to anonymous, many homosexuals tend to drink alot. its what seperates them from normal people. if you ever see a really drunk guy at a bar, dont make eye contact because he will try to fuck you. |
_____________________________________ [Aug 25,2005 12:41pm - anonymous ""] Doc was one of the best! |
_______________________________________ [Aug 25,2005 12:47pm - swamplorddvm ""] I talked to this dude once that said he heard the whole band was gay. That's a rather gay thing to say. |
_____________________________________ [Aug 25,2005 12:50pm - anonymous ""] ALL OF YOU DUMB FUCKS ARE WRONG DOC WAS ONE OF THE MASTER DRUMMERS OF DEATH METAL . FUCK ALL OF YOU ASSHOLES WHO TALK SHIT ABOUT HIM. HAIL THE MIGHTY DOC. |
___________________________________________ [Aug 25,2005 12:53pm - dan_bloodblister ""] yeah its pretty retarded that someone can spend 13 years in one of the best death metal bands to ever come out of poland and all their accomplishments get reduced to 'ha ha ha hes a fag'. oh well, im not surprised. |
____________________________________ [Aug 25,2005 3:22pm - anonymous ""] Who the fuck is "dan_bloodblister"? He's probablyjsut an ugly Polish fag (which would explain why he goes into fits when someone mentions Doc's homosexuality). Acutally, acording to old ethnic Jokes, Polish fags aren't really homosexuals, they're just too dumb to remember anything about sex... Back to VADER. THey did get dropped from a 2004 tour with Kreator and other bands, whose management and record companies determined that reports of gay band members were keeping people away from the concerts. None of the 2004 U.S. tour dates sold out. In every U.S. city, about 30% of attendees got in free due to promotional give-aways. |
__________________________________________ [Aug 25,2005 3:47pm - dan_bloodblister ""] yeah im pretty much lost on that one. in 2004 vader toured america with cannibal corpse/napalm death/goatwhore and kataklysm. the touring drummer was daray, doc wasnt even in the band at the time - he had quit or got kicked out or whatever before they started touring. the reason they dropped off that tour is because peter suffered from a spinal injury. that same year they toured europe and played a bunch of festivals, all with daray on drums. im pretty sure the 2005 tour you are talking about with kreator/vader/death angel did happen and the band that dropped off was death angel not vader. but i might be wrong. but wait im not. although im not sure who was on drums. i can back up all this information with links, if you would like. also, im not polish, im german. |

____________________________________ [Aug 25,2005 9:46pm - anonymous ""] VADER was suddenly gone from the US tour (in September I think). I was never sure why, but the gay rumors were making peopel wonder if death metal in the 2000's was going the way of "hardcore punk" in the 1990's (which collapsed after the homosexuals moved in en-masse).

European girls are way more attractive than most girls in The United states of fat chicks. You hardly ever see a fat girl in Europe. What a fucking moron. |

____________________________________ [Aug 27,2005 4:16pm - anonymous ""] Still true: Women can never be too thin or too rich. Norther European girls are almost all extremely attractive. So are most of the southern European ones. Same for Asian ones. Unlike American girls, they are rarely obese. Unfortunately, in the USA and Mexico, it is hard to find a girl who isn't either a tub of lard, or well on her way to becoming one... |
