The Rest In Peace (RIP) Thread

Another young, suspicious death.


Graeme Naysmith, the guitarist of dream-pop band Pale Saints, died on April 4, the band’s record label, 4AD, confirmed. His age and cause of death were not given.

Pale Saints formed in Leeds in the late 1980s, originally playing jangly indie-pop before expanding, on their 1989 debut EP, Barging Into the Presence of God, into the more atmospheric sound that would come to be associated with dream-pop and shoegaze. Debut album The Comforts of Madness, released in 1990 and reissued in 2020, minted their trademark sound, drawing the subtle harmonic complexities of the C86 sound into a whirlwind of sometimes noisy, sometimes lustrous guitar noise and filigree that they advanced, with some orchestral additions, on 1992’s In Ribbons and 1994’s Slow Buildings. The group disbanded in 1996, but Naysmith worked closely with 4AD on the recent Pale Saints reissues.



Ivo Watts-Russell, the founder of 4AD, said in a statement, “I’ve always been extremely fond of Graeme’s guitar playing. He was one of only a handful of musicians I worked with who wasn’t afraid of a good guitar solo. In tribute, I simply recommend digging out, or clicking on some horrible streaming service, ‘Henry’ from Pale Saints’ final album, Slow Buildings. When I first heard the sad news, I blew the cobwebs away, shed a few tears of pleasure and sorrow, and felt grateful for the experience. Goes without saying... play it loud! I can only imagine the deep sorrow felt by his ex-bandmates, especially [drummer] Chris [Cooper], who obviously knew the man far better than I.”

RIP Dabney Coleman

Starred in quite a few 80's movies like "War games", "Cloak and Dagger", "Tootsie", Probably his most well known role back then was as Franklin Hart in "9 to 5". Also had a couple of TV shows around that time ("Slap Maxwell", "Buffalo Bill"). His 'niche' back then was playing a character that everyone disliked and/or hated.

More recently he played the Commodore on "Boardwalk Empire", and John Dutton Sr on "Yellowstone".

Edit: Here was my favorite movie of his. Surprisingly, it was only a TV movie. I liked the movie a lot as a whole and I can remember it in great detail. Sutherland's role was very well played, but the movie is strong overall.

Saw him at Cannes Film festival many years ago getting mobbed by reporters. He carried himself well and seemed like a cool guy from what I saw. Sorry to hear of his passing, always enjoyed The Invasion of the Body Snatchers!

As for Kiefer (his son) he was amazing in 'Melancholia' which on itself is a whole other discussion:

Kiefer, like his father is a jew loving faggot (he once unsucsessfully propositioned my friend to a rear end banging). Good riddance. These homos live in the shadows of Hollywood producing over-sexualized violent slop that negatively infects the minds of the entire culture. Kiefer will soon be joining his father in hell. But yeah, him and his dad have been decent in a couple of decent movies, but the majority of their "life's work" is unwatchable and produced solely for money and to push the JQ agenda.
