Melvin Snipes 1962 - 2007
For those just now visiting our site, yes the rumors you might of heard are true. Our lead vocalist, Mel Snipes, was tragically killed in an auto accident on October 6th on the way to our show at Monster Fest in Merced. The funeral services have concluded and now we look forward into the future at our next goal as a band and family. Now that the benefit show is done I'm happy to announce with the proceeds we were able to establish trust funds for Mel’s two small children Harley and Mark Snipes. We were also able to get his grave stone done and we will post pitures of it soon. Thanks to all the friends, family & sponsors who made all this possible. Please continue to visit this site for more updates. Please continue to sign the memorial guest book and thank you to those who have already done so. The GAB and Snipes families have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from all over the world. Again, stay tuned for future announcements and updates. We send out a heartfelt thank you to everyone.
The recording that you hear while you are viewing this page is Gator Alley in Concord August 2006 performing Simple Man. In a lot of ways Mel was our own Simple Man and I do know he loved singing this song.
