| _______________________________ [May 14,2008 9:20am - aril ""] RIP, never knew the chap but we played a show with him. |
| __________________________________________ [May 14,2008 9:24am - largefreakatzero ""] 26 is too young to eat shit, poor bastard. I didn't know the kid, but from the obit it sounds like he had his life together. Sucks for his friends and family -- and most importantly, him. |
| ____________________________________ [May 14,2008 9:29am - inject-now ""] rip good kid |
| ____________________________________ [May 14,2008 10:31am - dreadkill ""] i didn't know him, but heard the name here and there. sucks to hear that he's gone. sorry to all of you who have lost a friend. RIP. |
| _______________________________ [May 14,2008 10:34am - Yeti ""] damn. only a few months younger than me. my brother has gone to UMASS Lowell for a while now, i wonder if he knows him. |
| ___________________________________ [May 14,2008 11:29am - BrianDBB ""] RIP. Never knew the kid but he was a good friend of my buddy John. |

| __________________________________________ [May 14,2008 12:32pm - metal_church101 ""] BTW, how did he die? What happened? |
| _______________________________________ [May 14,2008 12:50pm - the_reverend ""] http://www.myspace.com/fradowar weird.. I didn't see him at the meatmen. http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...-297D-432E-8D8AECE1F85D09A630776432 bennyhillifier |
| _____________________________________ [May 14,2008 12:52pm - RichHorror ""] Welfare Records will be putting out a comp CD of all the stuff he recorded. So everyone keep your eyes out for that. Great dude. |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2008 1:04pm - the_reverend ""] I'm going through and marking all the pictures that he's in with his name http://www.returntothepit.com/tag.php?tag=Matt%20Frado it's going to be hard to look through all the welfare records shots and find his face beaming down from the stairs. I also didn't know he was in the knox. |
| ____________________________________ [May 14,2008 1:05pm - RichHorror ""] Yeah, a million bands. |

| ____________________________________ [May 14,2008 1:23pm - RichHorror ""] This is from another board but is good indication of how much this guy ruled-- "was anyone at that show in suburbia i think it was called, (somewhere on the southshore), anyways sgt, slaughter showed up with frado and some others and like two songs into the set he dove through my brothers drums and that was that. just so many ridiculous memories and stories about him. in my short life he's been as big of a part as almost anyone. i wish you could fix peoples perception. although i knew he had trouble believing it from time to time, i really hope he ultimately understood how much he meant to so many" |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2008 1:35pm - the_reverend ""] I just read that right before running to get lunch. |
| __________________________________ [May 14,2008 1:41pm - brian_dc ""] RIP Sympathies to anyone close to him |
| _______________________________ [May 14,2008 1:50pm - aril ""] always a tradegy whenever we lose someone in the NE metal community. sounds like a great dude. |
| ____________________________________ [May 14,2008 1:58pm - Kinslayer ""] I know how he went out but I'm not really at liberty to say out of respect for friends and family... RIP. |
| _____________________________ [May 14,2008 2:13pm - mOe ""] thats fucked...so he just dropped dead for no reason??? |
| ___________________________ [May 14,2008 2:48pm - <_kittie_> ""] R.I.P he sounded like a really cool dude....if you know his family....be close with them give them comfort.... |
| ___________________________________ [May 14,2008 3:08pm - JoeyCobra ""] woah...yeah I used to see him at shows all the time. He played in my friends band when I was high school. at a show in Billerica jumped up on me knocking me onto the ground and gave me the finger. I also went to see Gwar & Mastodon with him and 2 friends....he looked like he had been in a vegtable juicer after the show because he was wearing a white shirt and was soaked in fake blood. RIP. |

They played Chris' 21st at the Middle East. |
| ___________________________________ [May 14,2008 3:39pm - dreadkill ""] shit, i think i met him once or twice. poor guy :( |
| _____________________________ [May 14,2008 3:41pm - ha ""] Does anyone want to say how this guy died? The question keeps being ignored. |
| __________________________________ [May 14,2008 3:43pm - bradmann ""] bummer. Shred In Peace. |
| ____________________________________________ [May 14,2008 4:01pm - fake persona #219 ""] ha said:Does anyone want to say how this guy died? The question keeps being ignored. It seems pretty obvious from inferences how he died, but no one here really cares how he died, but more so that he died. Enlighten the fucking masses if you see fit. |
| _______________________________ [May 14,2008 4:08pm - aril ""] It is obvious how he died. I won't say it though, because 1.) i'm not sure and 2.) I personally didn't know him or his family. Some bands need to dediate their set or songs to this dude in upcoming shows. |
| ________________________________ [May 14,2008 4:10pm - antny ""] I remember first meeting Matt back at the Library on 4/20 2005 when we played with Unholy Trinity for the first time. He ruled. RIP |
| ____________________________________ [May 14,2008 4:11pm - RichHorror ""] Yeah, I was planning on it for our show this Saturday. And no, no one needs to say how he died. Have some fucking class. |

Have some fucking class. Seriously, you fucking internet gossip vultures. Shut the fuck up with your bullshit speculations. If you don't already know, it's clearly none of your business. |
| _______________________________ [May 14,2008 4:16pm - aril ""] uh, were those comments directed towards me? I wouldn't say how he died online, even if I knew.. that's not the point. the point is that he's gone. like in the end of the Last Samaurai. "I won't tell you how he died, I'll tell you how he lived." |
