MR

Now this is SAD and not much to say on the subject, except that he must of just felt trapped in life.


Rick

very sad.

Thanks for passing the information on AR.

A time for quiet reflection, I think.

Wow. Looks like roknroseville was exactly right. How sad for those he left behind.

shame,, roknroseville was right i guess, was hoping he was wrong..

Very sad...

we almost wrote the same thing, thats strange me and somebody else on the planet had the same thought at the same time,, i just got a phone call in the middle before i clicked the submit button..

Rest in peace Brad.
Peace to Brad's family.

How very sad.... I guess you never know what some people go through no matter who they are. I have been cranking Boston and RTZ since it happened. He will be missed.

Truly sad...

May he rest in peace.

Doesn't change my opinion of him. One of the all time greats. RIP Brad.

I've always wondered what those songs would've sounded like had Delp sang on those songs. He did get writing credit for the title track, which is one of Boston's best tracks, in my opinion.

He wrote on that one but I think that was mostly Fran on vocals wasn't it? I have been listening to quite a bit of his stuff. Soooooo sad. Doesn't change my opnion of him one bit. One of the all time greats for sure. RIP Brad.

Yes, it was all Fran Cosmo on lead vocals on that album. Delp toured with them to support it, though.

I agree with you, NIGGY!!
I kno many people think that suicide is a cowardly act, and for the most part I agree.
But you never know what kind of emotional or psychological pain someone is in.
Sometimes life is too much to bear for people.
May God Bless, Brad's soul!!

God Bless you Brad. May you now truely have "Peace of Mind".

This is Tragic. Those who know me personally understand what Brad's voice
and Toms music have meant to me. I think Tom could have done more for
Brad throughout the years, one had the riches, one struggled to send his two
kids to college, those who have also chatted with Micky (his ex who STILL adores him)know it goes even farther. This by no means makes this his fault, but it didnt help.I cant imagine what his fiancee is going thru, or Micky and his kids.

Walk On along with More Than A Feeling are true Boston gems,my absolute faves.Cosmo did a great job on the album,sure,he couldn't match the vocals of Delp,but I like what he did.Maybe because the song really got to me.

I thought about what you say...just like I wonder how would have "Arrival" sounded like with Perry's voice.
But in the end a good song is a good song.

If Scholzie really was that stingy and Brad really did struggle to make ends meet, my image of Tom will forever be tarnished. Scholz had a bloody fortune.

What was the reason Delp didn't appear on the Walk On album? Refresh my memory....

I believe he left to play with RTZ.

The reason he got a writing credit was that that song had originally been written and called Rock On years before. TS changed it to Walk On and recorded it with Cosmo and gave Delp a writing credit for helping create the original.

"I believe he left to play with RTZ."

Correct. Brad had already commited to barry by the time Tom was ready for him.
There are a couple reasons why he did the tour to support the album, the love
of Toms band was not one of them.
