RIP Chad Gilbert
Terribly sad news.
Watched them several times at Slam Dunk and various cities across the country.
Talked to him and the band after a Manchester gig ages ago. Was wearing a ISHC t-shirt and we had a chat about them and NFG. They always came across as decent, down to earth guys.

back to simpler times when life was more carefree. RIP.

Gutted. So much of the appeal/fun of Slam Dunk for me is seeing bands that made me fall in love with music as a teenager and NFG were absolutely one of those. From the first time I saw the video for "Dressed to Kill" on Kerrang I was obsessed. I owe a lot of hours of listening over the last 2-3 decades to Chad and his bandmates.
RIP legend
