Ill make a collection and totally do that man thanks lynn

Wow. I just got an email about this. I'm completely stunned.

Adrian, R.I.P.

I've taken up TLP's idea.

I've read some of the stories and it just reinforces what an amazing person was lost. Once again, my condolences to those that know and love him.

Out of all the BBers I've ever wanted to meet, he was up there and I regret now that it will never happen.

This is probably the only reason I will ever re-activate my account. I lurk here still, everyday and enjoyed reading Adrian's posts. When JSW and I first joined these boards we were wonderfully hazed by him. Got the pleasure of meeting him and tapping into that wonderful knowledge of metal and rock music in general through conversation.

This is a shock, a complete shock.
My heart will be heavy tonight; here's to you Adrian.

Rest In Peace.

R.I.P. Adrian

I've been pretty stunned by this, never have I met anyone so respected by absolutely everyone. Fun guy to be around, all will miss that. Even when he moved to NYC, somehow you knew he would be back. This is his city.

I will never forget coming off stage at the most memorable show of my life and Adrian was right there, gave me a hug and said "great show rob".

Rest In Peace brother. We'll all miss you.

I got the news today while I was at work. RIP Adrian

RIP Adrian.

Though I didn't know you very well, I always respected your opinion. As you can tell
by the amount of responses to this thread you were well loved and will be missed
by a lot of individuals.

Cheers MPB.

I don't know if someone has posted these yet but if not, check them out.

I'm with you brother!!

Although I never met Adrian, he was a constant source of inspiration and friendship over the years. I've received a lot of kind words over the years from BBers, but never have they meant more than when they were said by Adrian.

He was there for me through all the tough times in my life and even the good. After my mom passed away, he called me up and mailed me an Unrestrained shirt. He was there through all the tough shit after that, always giving me a call to see that I was doing well.

Adrian inspired me in so many ways in the few years that I knew him. He has called me a few times in the past to check up on my weight loss and to offer advice. Hell, when I cancelled my gym membership a few months ago, I thought of all the people I'd be disappointing and he was right there at the top. I'm glad to say that I just got back into my workout routine this morning, but I'm saddened to know that I can't tell him.

He gave me so much priceless advice with my writing and if it wasn't for him, I never would have done some of the cooler interviews that I had the opportunity to conduct.

One big thing I'll miss about the phone calls with Adrian is that every time I hung up with him, I would just laugh. His voice never seemed to match the pictures of him that I had seen and he talked so damn fast and energetically.

He will truly be missed as one of the greatest friends I've never had the chance to meet.

R.I.P. Adrian

He did that a few times with me at Hooters, I never understood it.

Very shocked and saddened to hear about this. I didn't know him well at all, only really talked to him one time at a show at BB Kings in NYC. We were hanging out backstage and I recognized his photo from on here and introduced myself and we ended up talking for awhile. Seemed like a great guy that did alot to help support the Metal scene. His family and friends all have my condolences...may he R.I.P.

Sad news. Too young too pass.

Thanks for posting that Lynne. Some great memories of our times together there.

Been sitting here for ten minutes now trying to figure out what to write...


after 2 erased drafts, and more blank staring at the damn screen .... I still can't figure out what to say. This is straight up a sad, sad day for metal, for journalism, for us all.... I send my condolences to his family and friends (including and all of you guys here that are good friends with him.)

Rest In Peace man...

He used to tell me "secret" info about upcoming festivals and all that, I kept wondering how many people he'd told it to as well.

I took that photo that was a damn good night

His last thing he asked me to do was to spread the word of Musk Ox all over the web but don't tell anyone he asked me to do it.

I was so looking forward to blocking his way towards the vinyl booth at Maryland Deathfest. and

Yeah, I remember you taking it. Thanks my friend!

Anytime my friend to the bunny man

I haven't posted on the Braveboard in quite a while. I am very saddened by the passing of Adrian Bromley. I got to know Adrian from his tremendous support of my band Widow. In 2005 we were booked to play at his Northern Lights festival in Toronto at the Opera House. We are from North Carolina, and had bought plane tickets to Toronto a few months before the show. The festival was cancelled, and we were stuck with non-refundable tickets. I spoke to Adrian and he was very upset about this, and went out of his way to help us book a show in Toronto with Goat Horn and Burn to Black. He went to a lot of trouble to help four people he had never met.
We played the show and stayed with Adrian and it was a blast. We went all around Toronto and he showed us an amazing time. He took us to the Hockey Hall of Fame, the CN Tower, several great restaurants where great meals were had and many Molsons were drank! He was so cool to us and we really had an incredible time hanging with him and kept in touch.
The fact that he would do all this for people he didn't know is a true testament of his charachter. Adrian was truely the biggest supporter of the metal scene and one of the nicest people I have ever met. RIP
