I am not sure how many people on here know or listen to Vision, but this has me in shock. Vision are one of my favorite hardcore bands from the Tri-State area. They make me proud of my NJ roots and a lot of the bands that played with them or followed in their footsteps. If you have never heard In the Blink of An Eye, do yourself a favor and listen. But aside from the music he will leave behind, Dave was one of the nicest, most genuine dudes. Everyone got along with him and he was this straight edge goofball who didn't mind making fun of himself. I will always remember when Vision opened for Sheer Terror and Max Pen and they all had a great time joking and reminiscing about the old days when hardcore wasn't fashionable and he was rocking (and then still rocking) his swatch so he didn't have to paint those X's on his hands every time. At the end of his career there were some hard and heavy sets that didn't miss a step. He would joke how he was old and had to retire (he eventually did at the H2O show in Philly a month or two ago) but Vision would still be the freshest and tightest band in the room rivaling the energy of the young buck bands. RIP Dave. Second NJ legend we lost in 2 months.
