WOODS OF YPRES Founder David Gold Passes[views:33652][posts:52]____________________________________ [Dec 23,2011 8:26am - Alx_Casket ""] Posted on Friday, December 23, 2011 at 04:10:08 EST BW&BK has learned that WOODS OF YPRES frontman/drummer/founder David Gold was killed in an accident near Barrie, Ontario on December 22nd. Information surrounding his passing has yet to be made public. A long time friend and supporter of BW&BK, and without a doubt one of the hardest working musicians - independent or signed - on the Canadian metal scene, David will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends in this tragic time. David's family will be holding a memorial service in his home town of Sault Ste. Marie, tentatively scheduled for December 28th. Details will be confirmed in the coming days. http://www.bravewords.com/news/174851 |

| _____________________________ [Dec 23,2011 9:35am - pam ""] omg...he was the nicest fucking guy. My friend must be devastated, they were buddies. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 23,2011 10:04am - dreadkill ""] he was very nice the couple times i met him. :( |
| ______________________________ [Dec 23,2011 10:08am - pam ""] The first time I met him was at Milkwaukee Metalfest...he was handing out demos (still got it somewhere) for Woods and looked like he was 14 years old. That guy worked his ass off. Really kicking myself for not making that Ralph's show now. I never got to see them play. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 23,2011 10:14am - WarriorOfMetal ""] This really sucks...Woods is awesome, and David was cool as shit when I spoke to him. Glad I had the chance to see them...3 times, actually. |

Not kill off the stoner rock aspect but bring in a new aspect! We could be the first band to do stoner music with blast beats and a bit of black metal here and there, in bursts!” http://windsorzene.wordpress.com/2011/12/23/worth-his-weight-in-gold/ |

Woods were always true to metal and very genuine. he later contacted me to tell me he enjoyed Vintage Flesh very much. I of course enjoyed the latest release of his they i received in trade. he will be sorely missed. |

Respect go's out to W.O.Y !!! First of all, "FuckIsMySignature" is not me. It is a guy named Tom. If you click on his user name, you can see his profile, which includes pictures of him. The last time I checked, I'm not a dark-haired guy with a beard who plays in the band, Scaphism. Secondly, there is absolutely no place for your drama show in this thread. Have at least an iota of class and some sense of respect for David's passing. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 25,2011 2:00pm - Blessed_Offal ""] sorry, what I meant was: Met him at a show one time, real nice guy. He was still on stage trying to wind up his mic cables so he could load up and grab a beer and I went up and said 'good set.' Seemed like a real good dude and will totally be missed. |

According to a recent edition of Encyclopedia Canadia, good vocalists (even like that) are still plentiful there, and can usually be found exclusively on street corners. RIP though, sad news. |
