rip mr gold, my high school english class student-teacher

to add some more to the story, David have said on social media, that for the next album, it will be a happy one, no more sad ones.

Amazing video, but I want to add something. He didn't want to be remembered in a sad way, as he says in Adora Vivos: "a moment of silence, but not one moment more, the dead are to be forgotten, we are here to be adored". So, live your life, "forget" the ones who died, remember just the good things, they aren't suffering anymore in this life. The way he changed his view of life in this album is so hearthbreaking, he said a lot of bad things about life in the other albums, and in Adora Vivos he said "look me in the eyes, don't believe a word I say" and so it goes, we have only one life to live. But at the same time he expresses how he doesn't like to be alive, like in Travelling Alone, he shows how he doesn't want to contaminate people with his thoughts and want people to be happy and live their lives, even though he can't. He shows that life can be fun and happy to other people, so "don't look at me, i'm poor, don't be like me". I can relate to his thoughts, and I love WoY, but I can't listen to any of their albums without crying because I will never meet David and understand what made him change his mind so much. Maybe because he was preparing himself and the others for his death? I don't know. I could write an essay about this album. Sorry for writing this much, it is just because WoY means a lot to me. RIP David

One of the most magical and haunting voices that I've heard... and her lyrics are so deep and touching... I miss her sm 😢😢🖤

I met David very briefly while doing merch sales at "Northern Lights Festival" in Toronto, which was put on by my dear friend and colleague at the time, Adrian Bromley. He seemed nice and somewhat quiet. Once Adrian tragically passed away, David paid tribute to him in his video for "I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery". The tribute was David had put "Unrest" on the bottom of his guitar, which was a call-out to the magazine that Adrian helped start named "Unrestrained!", which I had the privilege to write for. Once David passed, I always found a way to connect the two people. I reflect on Adrian for the impact he made on my life, and his friendship, and to David who paid a great tribute to him, and I'll always be thankful to him for that.

David Gold was a Canadian treasure.

It sounded like you were gonna cry towards the end

I pre ordered a orange sustainiac model when they dropped (1400$ not including shipping and import costs. I payed around 60 bucks shipping and 100 import) and it had a slew issue. White spots in the finish, tool marks on the fretboard, pots stems that were loose, pickups mounted crooked, brownig on the pearl inlay, wiring issues with the input jack, unlevel frets, luminlay side dots not aligned straight and the thing was really dirty out of the box. Luckily didn't have a pealing logo or cracked fretboard (yet) but it's my first and last solar for sure. Custom service was no help and recommended i either return it at my expense or just piss off. It's unfortunate but it seems they still have major qc issues and poor customer service. Stay clear of this brand.

I found grey skies & electric light at beat goes on man Many years ago I was so shocked Love it

8 years already. She is missed. Fantastic voice we can only hear as a recorording forever more.

Found them a couple years ago and wanted to hear more only to find the sad news. I immediately ordered a copy of the album on vinyl. Also found a vinyl of her solo that I want even though I have yet to hear any of it, but I have to get it to ship to America and they only site I found it on does not ship here, hoping to find it on Amazon or something

wow, oh no.. RIP. Thanks for info i will now listen to all of them songs , TY.

few tips bro, don't breathe into the mic , it literally sounds like your out of the breath mate, your audio is brutal. and i can hear the moisture on your lips also it's really gross brody

Isn't Cameron better then lee at guitar as well? Lol

I was outside the Masquerade sometime in 2009 waiting to pick up some presale tickets for a band I was in. I saw a white van slowly pull up with a guy's foot hanging out the window. I looked closely and saw it was Mike Tiner. I went up and introduced myself loudly. The whole band was in the van aside from Jason, which this was right around the time Chris was out. They were such awesome dudes. I later met Ben Orum after a show, also at the Masquerade some time later during Summer Slaughter. I bought him a Blue Moon and chatted with him. My guitarist and Mike talked outside about bro jobs and getting married up north. Those guys were hilarious. That was a different time. I remember slapping Tosin Abasi on the back one afternoon outside the Masq and I don't even think he was playing that show.

All shall perish needs to follow in the footsteps of JFAC! Bring em back!

Theyre playing a reunion show in January 2025, San Francisco

Just subscribed to your channel my friend. I started listening to metal music since July of 2018 and I have discovered quite a lot of interesting metal bands shortly after I listened to some metal songs. If you want to, check out a metal band that is called My Dying Bride.

I discovered Woods of Ypres 10 years after David Gold's death. I didn't know he died when I first listened to Grey Skies and Electric Light. My question is how famous was David Gold exactly?

! the very first time i heard trees of eternity it was sinking ships , she touched me in a way ive never felt before and then i found out a few minutes after hearing sinking ships that she died i instantly had a tear dripping down my face , because i started thinking about how many lives she touched with her voice and how someone so beautiful inside and out could die at such a young age ! R.I.P. ALEAH

I found Shards Of Love through spotify one day and been in love since

Cameron wrote the majority of a higher place if I remember him telling me back in the day, Lee contributed the song Exist on that release, can’t remember if there were any others

the thing is that lee got a huge ego from the guitar writing of Cam, so it was only Karma that he was overshadowed by jason. if lee didnt have that ego and claim to fame through cam, no one would have rated jason over him so much.

An Immense LOSS!!! ❤💘❤

I hate how long it took me to find this band I found it about 3 days ago and I feel in love with their music and David’s voice

Whats that first song?

My favorite band <3

Beautiful! Thank you so much for this video! ✅☑✔ R.I.P. Aleah Starbridge! 🤘🖤🙏🎵🎶 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaTJYZmBarGsfs0 ___________________

Asp is dope!

what happened is that they lost momentum and in the first few years after they released the last album a ton of other technical bands emerged and made way more technical and fast music .

I miss them :(

As someone who has given up, I wish I had listened to what David meant, not just his music.

I don't think people enjoy the shredding stuff after hearing everyone do it. I love guitar solos more than anything but in today's world i feel like people tend to make it seem like a competition instead of creativity. I think more people will appreciate Lee's work with BOO because it's not just pure out of this world shred but more groove. Jason writes grooves but goddamn he will then melt your face away with the solos which I guess to me thats excellent but to others who don't appreciate guitar like that is just doodling around making weird noises.

They were on track to be the next big thing for sure. But what they did do, is also untouched by anyone else.

Jason is an awesome guitar but an utter bellend of a person. I dont know what hes like today but i hope hes grew up. I mean the guy had his dad give the guys into trouble for smoking weed at the house they all lived at. Who does that?!

Dude Skylasher will fuck you up. I dare you to play it!

Chris Storey thier original guitarist was a wild individual and got let go from the band. End of band, end of story.

ASP was sick. Wasn’t a huge fan of their political lyrics, but as a band they killed it.

In a interview with Cameron, he states that he wrote and recorded everything on The New Reign and everything on A Higher Place besides Exist. Cameron is an absolute monster when it comes to music, don’t believe me? Check out his solo project Unsolicited, there’s some serious old school BOO vibes. Lee also is an absolute monster too, he had some issues when Jason got the boot but, Lee was able to to play the solos pretty quick. I honestly think that Jason leaving was actually good for Lee, and forced him to grow as a musician.

Saw this right after meditating with the moon and 'The Passage'. I love her so much <3 Everyone seeing this needs to go watch the lyric video of Eye of Night. You will get a good idea of Aleah's true vibes and personality. That video transforms me every time. <3

Enjoyed them during the time they were active. Later my band INVERTICRUX would have the honor of opening for them in New England 2011. I tried trading cd's with the founder (RIP), but he said he needed the road money. After seeing us live on stage with me as front man, he got back to us after our set with the "Pursuit" album and then wanted to trade it for one of our releases of the time. That rocked!!!!

I love all their albums, btu Against the Seasons was amazing.

Here from 2024 and they are back together

Woods V: Grey Skies & Electric Light, was Davids Magnum Opus & rebirth, becoming potentially, the Rush of they're multifaceted genres...

This band should have been the next Type O Negative. They had so many great songs.

They just announced a reunion tour

THEYRE BACK, LETS FUCKING GOOOOOII

When i saw swallow the sun live at a small club during one of the worst parts of my life. i had the pleasure of seeing juha and the band outside prior to playing and while i didnt get to talk to him i made eye contact with juha and he gave the sweetest but most heartbreaking smile to me id ever seen, the guy seemed so nice and seeing another person make a face like he did is heart breaking. I feel so sorry for him and for Aleah i cant even imagine the kind of heartbreak they went through

Played with them lots in my old band. Dave was cool didnt know him alot. But yeah we all suffer depression at times. So more then others. He was there helped my bands out at the start. We were bands around the same. He even came to a show of ours. He bought a shirt aswell. So he was a fan. He said i like your riffs. Haha any whonplayed with him quite abit. My old bud was gonna play bass for them for a european tour they were gonna do. Right before he died. Crazy shit but yeah its sad shit. I understand him. He is a poet.

5:00 yeah, I’m a fan that stopped listening to them after Tomorrow We Die Alive, but those first few albums are masterpieces. New Reign, which is probably the majority of everyone’s favorite album, the rawness of it was Metallica’s Kill’em All like it was kind of grainy sounding and there are just some albums, where it works. Yeah when I saw Lee couldn’t play some of Jason’s parts I kind of was like well I think ish is about to change dramatically. Cam’s solo project, which is so friggin’ mind blowing, is how I got back into them again. I think Cam should’ve taken the guitar spot over and then they should’ve found a new drummer. That way Lee could’ve kept his spot at rhythm and Cam could’ve taken over lead. But I have a sneaking suspicion that Cam likes the drums the most so that’s just the way the cookie crumbles i guess. We all have our reasons for following a band and once Jason left, we saw him do so well in his own solo-ish project with that other well known drummer, Luke Holland. When you go to a show and someone can’t play the songs thatve been written, that’s a pretty bad look in the eyes of a music fan, so the reaction, if understand the human being, was quite warranted atm, but now that I see they’ve remedied this, by getting a guitar player who might be able to? So far the only song I’ve heard that I actually like is White Nile. I guess I need to hear more of Lee’s solo stuff.
