R.I.P. Dave from CRASHDÏET
I was sad and shocked when my friend told me today that the singer of CRASHDÏET, Dave Lepard, had died. He was only 25 years old, the same age as me. Crashdïet was one of the best new hard rock/glam metal bands around, and I had high hopes for them. The remaining three band members said they will not continue with the band, which I understand. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to see them live last fall.
R.I.P. Dave Lepard
In a joint statement released to the media, the surviving members of CRASHDÏET - Martin Sweet (guitar), Peter London (bass) and Eric Young (drums) - said, "As a bandmember, but most of all as a person, we will miss him for all eternity. Dave was nothing but a genius and a very special person. CRASHDÏET will definitely not continue as a band. CRASHDÏET consisted of four people and now one has left us."
I love CRASHDÏET's debut album, so I uploaded 3 songs for you.
Tracks 2,3 and 8 from the Rest In Sleaze-album:
2 - Riot In Everyone
3 - Queen Obscene / 69 Shots
8 - It's A Miracle
D/L all three songs zipped together
Check out their homepage too, there are pics and music videos there!
If you like the songs, and want to download the whole album, it's available at cockrockmp3, where I'm co-mod. You need to join in order to download, all posts should be friends only.
