Remembering Raybeez

Back in 1997, the hardcore scene lost a great ambassador. Raymond "Raybeez" Barbieri lost his life due to pneumonia, but his spirit still lives on. There were/are plenty of bands that promote a positive mental attitude, but in my opinion, no one did it like Raybeez. Whenever I think of Warzone, I think of unity, equality and a positive outlook. They did it in a cool way without sounding corny.

In any case, they left a lasting impression on the entire scene. Whether he was on the dance floor singing along with the crowd for the entire set or creating songs with lyrics like "United we stand, divided we fall, we gotta keep the faith." To just hanging out a hardcore show to make sure things didn't get out of hand. Raybeez was a big part of what was good within hardcore and people respected him for that. R.I.P. Raybeez
