wayne thunder seah R.I.P

so sorry to hear abt this...so shocking...........life is so transient.........gone in a flash just like that. RIP and respect........rock n roll forever.
 
as a musician you taught me humility.

as a performer you exuded charisma.

as a human being you taught us to live our dreams and fight for our passion.

your passion was an inspiration.

you might be gone, but your spirit lives on

and i will do everything i can to do my part to continue your legacy and build on the foundations of what you left for us.

RIP Wayne Thunder. I love you.
 
rx7, what he did that was most touching was his faith on me able to handle a show. I actually was rather lost and indecisive.

Although he is busy with rock for good and other things,
he asked one of his friend to guide me step by step.

I feel so ashamed to say that i am a half of drums, the fact that I am his student, I dont live up to his name. Though I kinda gave up drums on him, he just told me i'll be more free after the fest, and his last words were 'I'll be waiting :) '

I am a damn shit hole to take him for granted, thinking he will be there to impart his stuff at my own retarded pace.

I mean u anybody out there, take your teachers seriously. Your teacher wants to wait for you, they can wait for you. But you wont know if they will be around physically anymore or not.

I am just freaking distraught...i cry till i appear like hypocrite, but this is what that is going on in my head.

He is just someone that will not give up on things/people who give up on him.

how many 'rockstars' will take the time to msn you "How are you coping?"
 
its 7.30pm in holland, i just heard the news about a couple hours ago. it was so surreal. its only now starting to hit me.

its been an honour getting to know Wayne, personally and work-related. very down to earth, a joy to talk to, someone to look up to and a fantastic example of a man very dedicated to his cause.

Wayne has been a great inspiration. Rampage On The Airwaves would never be where it is today if not for his hard work and dedication. never expecting anything in return but always putting in his 101%.

he braved it all, made us proud in Australia and pushed as hard as he could to help the local rock music scene.

your hard work will not be in vain. Rampage On The Airwaves will be on stronger than ever. and im sure Rock For Good will too.

RIP Wayne Thunder.

Was with some of the Soft Drummer's Bros there at the "Wake" last night and there I saw many many Musician gathered at the "Wake" and I can tell from the look on everyone's eyes the feeling of a loss of a great friend and musician - Wayne Thunder. Wayne's dad is indeed a wonderful father who gave utmost support to his son Wayne in his passion towards bringing Singapore Music & Bands to it's next level of recognition in the International arena..and Wayne work very hard on it.

My Respect & Love to Wayne & Family....

..

like to share my memories with early moshpit, turned boredphucks, turned suns.

i was doing mass comm in ngee ann poly in about 12 years back and was quite fascinated in local music, but only from the sidelines. i got my first whiff of those dumb jokers from comp studies via their bitchy e-newsletter, the 'tai-chi files' where they bitched about everything masscomm, including cheryl fox. have to see if i still have a soft copy of that.

also saw them as 'moshpit' in mass comm's heatwave (or was it counterculture?) gig in 97. they were the last band to play, and the whole octagon was empty, save for us roadies and volunteers. still we managed to mosh with a grand total of abt 20 ppl. basically 2 ppl bodysurfed on top of 18.


ballad of tabitha's 'tabitha' was a classmate of mine too. used to hang out with jamie yeo and this other girl, joy. she's currently working in usa doing radio. hahaha, imo, she watched too much 'friends'. so u can imagine the amusement when i bought the banned in da singapura cd hahahahahah


RIP Wayne
 
..

Eternal rest grant unto you,
And let perpetual Light shine upon you.
May your beautiful soul
Rest in peace.

RIP Wayne.

u will be dearly missed by all.

might not have known wayne directly, but ive met him before and he's a great guy. Rock on up there.
 
hello boys and girls.
the king of sparechange has something to distribute (for now , i'm at work at the office)

did some newspaper-article-immortalizing using office equipment.




0¢ worth. stole the papers from my neighbour. :lol:
 
i met wayne when we were gigging together in moods pub ten years ago. although we're not friends, i respect the man for his passion and dedication towards his goals and ideals.

i'd like to share this with you all. years later after we met, there was a drummer forum in delphi forums called "drummer's collective of singapore".

as usual, you have all this daily questions about the what is biggest thing to improve drumming, any special thing to speed up progress.

after a number of posts, wayne popped up and said, he improved a lot in 6 months than in the last few years, simply because he sat down and practiced, more so than any "special" technique he learnt.

the forum and the man may be gone, but i remember these words.

thank you wayne for sharing, and i know you'll be rockin' in heaven!


cheers,
alfe
