| Bayside
Statement |
Victory reports: Anthony Raneri of Bayside
talks about the events of October 31st, and their plans for the future:
The worst day of my life is over. It lasted 72 hours, but it's over. I
know now that everyday for the rest of my life will be a piece of cake
to wake up to, I'm just glad that I get to wake up to them. On Halloween
I lost my best friend, big brother, mentor and band mate. I find a lot
of comfort in knowing that I had a best friend, big brother, mentor and
band mate in the first place, when so many people will never know what
it is like to have someone as magical as Beatz in their lives. I'm so lucky
for that and so lucky that I survived this thing to tell everyone about
him. Anyone that knew Beatz fell in love with him instantly. Whether you
were his brother, his wife, his friend or you met him for five minutes.
This letter, this week and the rest of my life is not going to be a mourning
of a lost life, but a celebration of a wonderful one. He will live forever
in all of our hearts and in the music he created so passionately.
On behalf of Bayside, everyone in the Bayside/Victory
camp and the Holohan clan, I thank you all so much for your support through
all of this. I have to thank the members of Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein
and Aiden, all of their crews, everyone at Victory, our manager Nate Albert
and our families and friends for everything they have done since the second
this happened, to get us past the last few days. Our guitar tech Nicky
Raneri, tour manager Scott Robinson, guitar player Jack O'Shea and I are
all home safe. Nick is going into surgery in a couple of hours and will
make a full recovery; our drum tech Dan Marino is out of surgery and we
hope to get him home by the end of the week. Every one of the fans, the
press and any other company or person that has gotten in touch with us
has just been amazing and it's all that support that got us through this.
