R.I.P. William "Salty Dog Beneath" Barrett - March 15, 2010

i was rushing into the uhaul store on eubank & indian school in late july of 2006. it was time to hit the road for 18 days and i was running a little behind. i had to get us a trailer and get it packed so we could get outta town. the younger dude w/short hair and a little goatee behind the counter lit up as i stepped forward to start the rental process. he said,"youre in The Ground Beneath! I saw you guys play w/Requiem Mass at the Zone! you guys are my two favorite bands!" obviously this guys had taste! haha this was the first encounter i can remember w/our good bud Will Beneath. man did we know when HE was at a show. he was the little skinny guy amidst us heftier slightly older looking gentleman but man could he throw down in a pit! Will loved heavy music and he loved going to see it live even better. i remember going to see Filter in 2008 and Will and his little brother really wanted a pic w/Richard Patrick. i knew Rich from when we opened for Army of Anyone so i was more than happy to set them up. recently Will and the rest of the Uhaul crew have been even closer friends to us. im so glad he was at my birthday party last june. not just the show but the party after at my old house. the last time i saw Will was at the Launchpad on New Year's Day. im really glad we hung out all night the night before that too at the TGB New Year's Eve bash. Will was a great guy and i cant believe we lost him less than 24 hours ago to a motorcycle accident. i dont know the details but i know Will always wore his helmet and that he was killed instantly and he didnt suffer. he is survived by his friends from Uhaul and his little brother and his girlfriend Jessica who are all friends of ours. we are saddened tonight by the news and we will have a great dedication to him at the next ABQ show Apr 23rd at Atomic Cantina (one of Will's favorite places). he was always in good humor... he even described the pic above this as "Douche bag impression pic" on his myspace... below is a series of pics from my bday show last june... that's Will in the bad religion shirt... he loved metal and punk! these pics are how i remember him. right in front of me at a show and the first to get on stage or get in the pit! in these pics he and his friends get on stage for MINE and sang it almost louder than me! love ya man! we all miss you! steve beneath
