I met Brad Delp at our neighborhood diner and i approached him and said i have always admired his music. In a very soft voice he said to me..I never get tired of hearing that,.Thanks for being a fan.
I miss him and his beautiful voice most every day! I listen with a smile but there is a frown inside that does not let me forget about all the great music I was robbed of! Brad had lots more to offer and we will never get to hear what it was. I’ve followed his last days from his last interview with A train on Massachusetts morning radio and there was just zero indication that the horror of what was to come could be picked up on. I sure didn’t see it! This is just one I will never get over! When I watch videos it’s like seeing videos of a lost relative or friend! I ask out loud sometimes ……. WHY BRAD? Then I pray he is now at total piece and can see how much he was loved and respected! Without Brad Boston never gets off the ground!! Facts!!! Yes Tom was brilliant but brilliant is far from enough to sell multi platinum albums!! For that it took the voice of Brad delp! RIP BRAD! Thank you for staining my childhood with many many memories of all those great Boston songs! The summer nights were not the same without them! Class of 86 signing off! Thanks again
This really made me cry. What a special man and what a gift with his voice. If the world had more Brad Delps maybe we wouldn't feel so much despair; but alas they are outnumbered. Depression is a f****r. His voice changed my life; I wish something could have saved his.
I saw Beatlejuice at the Timberlane High School in Plaistow New Hampshire, close your eyes and it was The Beatles. Absolutely amazing performance. Brad was one of the best.
Saw Brad play at the Danversport Yacht Club in Danvers Ma. Infact, My buddy was on stage playing with him. So damn underated by his musical peers. One of the best.
Thank you...even after all these years, we, who never had the honor and pleasure of knowing him, miss him. It's wonderful beneath all that talent, was a fun and genuine person. Your all very fortunate.
The first record I bought was Boston's first album. I'm a guitar player, so I don't always pay as much attention to the vocals. Brad has always been the exception for me. He had one of the most beautiful rock n roll voices I've ever heard. His melodic, moody, heart felt vocal lines and harmonies are timeless. Ironically, I'm not a big Scholz fan.
MyworstEnemy I was 16, just got my license that summer and my old man wouldn't let me buy a car. The law in AZ gave him control of that. So I'm riding home from school in a bus full of 8th graders on up to Jr's, and I was bumming big time. One guy in the middle of the bus, not too far from my seat had a boom box. All of a sudden I Heard these incredible 12 tones, and before the first bar was over this shy kid who never said shit to anybody yelled everyone shut the f up and turn up that boombox. They did. 30 some kids sat their with their jaws hitting the floor! Damn! I got my album that weekend. I wore that one out on my BSR record grinder and bought another one. Then, after it started to fade I turned the album over to discover a whole other wealth of great music! Awesome stuff ! And Brad was the perfect vocalist for the job. May he Rest In Peace!
I had a gig at Hajjar’s in Weymouth that night and heard the news as I was pulling into the parking lot. Needless to say the shock put a damper on my performance with the band. The following night we incorporated a musical tribute to Brad.
I always choose to think Of Brad with a zest for life and man what a great voice! He was such an inspiration!.I was so fortunate to have seen him perform! His legacy reminds us..
I saw them on their second time in Athol Massachusetts and on 2/2/2007 in Orange Massachusetts. A couple of guys that I worked with told me about the first Athol show and told me before the second show. When I heard about the show in Orange I asked some friends to go with us. It was a snowy February snow storm and while driving home our friends said that if I found out about another show to call them. One month later he left this world!
Amava Boston as canções e Brad Delp sonhava em conhecê-lo continua escutando Boston mas com certeza não é a mesma banda sem Brad mas encontrei ele cantando Beatles é maravilhoso!!!!!❤
It makes me so sad that Brad just couldn’t take this life any longer. He took his life on my 45th birthday. What a massive talent who will be missed for decades to come. 😔
He is one of few singers who can sing Beatles songs and sound as good as they do. He’s was that good. Incredible singer! It’s obvious he was was a huge Beatles fan, too just like me. Bordering on obsession. But they surpassed everyone with their incredible singing and songwriting abilities.
R.I.P., BRAD DELP, you and all of the music we'll NEVER be able to hear. So, THANK YOU!!! For giving us some of the best music to grow up with. I graduate at 17 year's old, in the class of 1984. You made growing up in the 70s & 80s, bearable !!!!!🎶🎼🎤🎶🎵♊❤💋🤟
Interesting. On top of being a huge BeatleJuice fan, I am also the author of a book dealing with spirits and spirituality. At roughly 5 minute and five seconds into this video, I distinctly see an "orb." When the the interviewee (sorry,I don't know his name) says,...'We dearly miss our buddy..." you see a self-emanating flash of light in the background. There are no windows, and no light appears on the subject, so you can rule out the flash of a camera. I think this is very cool. Brad was there at that interview. His spirit, and that of his music lives on...literally!
His last interview was on March 7th, 2007.He sounded happy, hopeful & in great spirit's. He was even talking about the tour's that they were about to go on with his newest band, Beetlejuice & Boston and in just two damn day's, that was over, because he was found dead!!! What a horrible situation, with all of these grown ass men, not trying to compromise with each other as friend's and band mates. How very sad this whole infighting among them. It probably had something to do with the damn fact that their were to many Chief's and not enough Indians. Each one of them, failing to compromise as a team, and as band mate's. What a tragic, and heartbreaking loss of this man, who gave us so many awesome song's, with his AMAZINGLY beautiful voice. He was a LEAD SINGER for Boston. So, that's what I feel is the worse thing that can happen, losing your best friend's, and being in a Group that was PHENOMENAL!!!♊❤💋🤟🎶🎼🎤🎵🙏🛐✝️
I remember the day. I was dumbfounded and wonder why, why? RIP Brad. My first 8 track was Boston. got it for Christmas. listened to it over and over and over. pure joy
In my 60 years of travels I have found the most talented and those bordering on genius have deep troubles communicating on a basic level and compensate to very little avail. Brad most likely felt he had too much to live up to and couldn't stand the fact that most talent like his fade off into obscurity due to the generals public's short attention span. Brad will go into the history books as one of the greatest voices in rock and roll.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. Was on my way to a gig at Johnny D's in Sommerville. As I was about 20 minutes away from the club I had on WZLX Getting it would good rock and roll mood the show When I heard the news About Brad. I remember that I was going through the South station tunnel When I heard it. I was friendly with Joe holiday From my days of hanging out with The Fools. And I remember calling Joe's house to see if that was true. Is wife Donna Answered the phone and told me that Joe was at the club with the rest of the band, minus Brad. When I got to the club places like a morgue. I Never Seen anything like that my entire life. I found Joe when I got to the club and asked what happened. They told me that Brad Committed suicide in his bathroom. The band wanted to go on in Tribute to Brad. And every time I hear a song by The Beatles it reminds me of him. Hes sung it so well that you swear to God it was The Beatles playing. Rest in peace my man I hope whatever demons haunted you are gone forever. You made so many people happy with your music You deserve to be a peace. Will always remember you But that Night the music truly died.
I read that and remember thinking he made a stupid mistake, Hardly worth dying over Everyone makes mistakes, Big ones , little one's We are all Human, born to make mistakes, His last mistake is an was a true mistake, It's done, And it's Final, I doubt many will remember him for that mistake as opposed to who and what he Truly was. The good and the great about him out weigh the mistake 10 Fold.
I think the underlying problem was the depression and when the video incident happened adding the embarrassment and shame to the mix was more than he could bare and he probably decided just to end it all and he could end the pain of depression as well as his new problems all in one sweep. I dont think he wanted to really die though and he may still be with us if not for the video thing. I'm pretty sure had he not killed himself the lady who was victimized was gonna make a big thing out of it and he didnt want to be around for that.
Fl Moseley, I read that the victim of the video was his fiance's sister and part of his depression was his fiance cheated on him and in his mind maybe the video was getting even but also the victim only wanted him to be the one to tell his fiance and he put it off but was going to have to tell her, I don't think they were going to go public with it and they didn't until the lawsuit from Shultz, depression and despair
it's a shame. brad seemed to have lots of friends and support from loved ones all around him. if he only knew how taking his own life would effect so many people. but that's how depression works .
+SandM63 Sadly Hutch did decide to off himself. He had been suffering physically from being unable to taste or smell anything after he was beaten in 1992. His depression worsened and his heavy use of drugs didn't help. He hung himself and it wasn't an accident.
@@koolkitties8552 There's a lot more to this story that we'll never know about. The court papers from the Boston Herald defamation trial have facts that don't add up. The closest evidence might be his last interview with the NH radio station, 2 days before the tragedy, where he mentions a rescheduled Beatlejuice concert from Sept. '06 due to a motorcycle accident with his fiancee's bike. (Audio is on YT) Since Brad was a lifelong vegetarian, and according to the court case, had tried psych. meds that didn't work in the early '90s, it's very likely he didn't know what he was doing after the concussion.
Look into his eyes in the pictures around 2006/7 - there's something missing compared to his pics in the 1990s. See the difference in the look in his eyes? The 2006/7 pics have a look of despair or something...he doesn't look quite right.
Tom Scholz may have ended up a rich guy from Boston's succes, but will always be regarded as a ego maniac who treated Brad Delp really bad. And that must be quite a burden to live with. At the end of it all, what counts is how you have treated the people around you. It's about moral values, decency and respect. It's not about money.
Brad really admired Tom - saying 'He (Brad) could never have done the engineering.' And it was so well done. They complimented each other and it took the both of them for all of it to work out so well. The Wright Brothers of Rock-n-Roll.

One of the greatest singers and nicest guys in rock. RIP Brad.
Saw him and Beetle juice at Johnny D’s a few months before he passed.... They were flawless. RIP Brad
Delp was the best Rock singer ever in his prime
🥀Amazing how Brad Delp sounds like Paul...He was awesome singer. I miss him too & we never met I'm a huge Boston fan.
🥀RIP Brad Delp We Love You 🥀🕊🥀☝️
R.I.P. Bradley Delp, the greatest voice in rock n roll!
Holy crap could he sing beatles songs!! I've known about the group for ages, but this is unbelievable!!
Brad used to sit in with my band in NH.He was a great singer and great guy with no ego.
This really made me cry. What a special man and what a gift with his voice. If the world had more Brad Delps maybe we wouldn't feel so much despair; but alas they are outnumbered. Depression is a f****r. His voice changed my life; I wish something could have saved his.
Amazing clips....man I cried. Why Brad?
you had an angelic voice. R.I.P.
Bill M.
I saw Beatlejuice at the Timberlane High School in Plaistow New Hampshire, close your eyes and it was The Beatles. Absolutely amazing performance. Brad was one of the best.
Amazing how much like Paul he sounds on Can't Buy Me Love. He's got every tiny nuance down.
Love this man beyond telling.....
Saw Brad play at the Danversport Yacht Club in Danvers Ma. Infact, My buddy was on stage playing with him. So damn underated by his musical peers. One of the best.
Beautiful job... Still hard to get over his loss. Thank you so much for giving us this remembrance.
omg - Free as a Bird is perfect - thanks Bradley! You are much loved and missed.
Thank you...even after all these years, we, who never had the honor and pleasure of knowing him, miss him. It's wonderful beneath all that talent, was a fun and genuine person. Your all very fortunate.
From spain I Think about you every day.I miss you so much.
Empty world without him.
That is Unbelievable!!!! He could sound just like the Beatles. This is the first time I've ever seen any footage of Beatlejuice. Amazing. ♥️😢
What a perfect song to end this wonderful video...so beautifully perfect and so moving, as well...
Brad, the world wants to embrace you now and I hope that you can feel that feeling
The first record I bought was Boston's first album. I'm a guitar player, so I don't always pay as much attention to the vocals. Brad has always been the exception for me. He had one of the most beautiful rock n roll voices I've ever heard.

Brilliant vocalist!! The vocals on More than a Feeling are the best male rock vocals I've ever heard!
Thier are no words to describe his voice. RIP Brad

I watched movies with him on the "stupid big TV set"!! I'm laughing, hearing him say it! LOL Thanks for the memory ❤️
The one time I spoke to Brad after a show I gushed at how well he sang both John and Paul equally well.
RIP Brad , thank you for such a great talent and a great guy .....
I dont care whatever song Bradley delp sings is a classic.
I saw them on their second time in Athol Massachusetts and on 2/2/2007 in Orange Massachusetts.

I was so excited about the next Boston tour...Waiting for the show dates and then the music died again...........

I love you Brad
"I am a lonely soul"....(in french)
-tho loved by the countless, he felt to write this before he left- us-
It makes me so sad that Brad just couldn’t take this life any longer. He took his life on my 45th birthday. What a massive talent who will be missed for decades to come. 😔
Always a a Brad Delp fan

I saw it..! Very possible..I tried and tried to freeze it..Can't freeze. Brad too fast..LOL
I saw it too....... God bless him
I shot it but never noticed it, We did have trouble with the videotape on that segment though. It had to be digitally cropped.
newhampshirevideo. Great job guys!
That is the phenomenal guitar player Bob Squires that said we miss our buddy, they were all so talented
Brad is Awsome!❤
I try and try but can't stop wondering WHY??... So sad

Sad....very sad. What did you mean when you say "he engineerined all this" ? Was this Brad's way of saying goodbye to all of his friends ??
I don't know why, but it makes me sad.
He actually got caught video spying on a woman who lived in his home . They say the shame of that contributed to his suicide.
I read that and remember thinking he made a stupid mistake,
Hardly worth dying over
Everyone makes mistakes,
Big ones , little one's
We are all Human, born to make mistakes,
His last mistake is an was a true mistake,
It's done,
And it's Final,
I doubt many will remember him for that mistake as opposed to who and what he Truly was.

I miss Brad Delp and Michael Hutchence. Very sad that they didn't think of us when they decided to leave........
+B McLaurine Michael Hutchence didn't' decide to leave.
+SandM63 Sadly Hutch did decide to off himself. He had been suffering physically from being unable to taste or smell anything after he was beaten in 1992. His depression worsened and his heavy use of drugs didn't help. He hung himself and it wasn't an accident.
+SandM63 I think you'll find Hutchence did also in fact commit suicide sadly.
B McLaurine don't be so selfish. Depression is no joke.
he should have walked away from Boston and just did this he'd probably still be with us. Texas misses you Brad.
He got caught filming his fiance's sister's bedroom for 2 years. Thats why he killed himself.
