Locked In A Vacancy drummer killed in accident

Patrick Cimato (aka Rick Cimato), drummer for defunct New York metal/hardcore band Locked In A Vacancy, was killed in an automobile accident early Wednesday morning. According to police, Cimato was involved in a head-on collision in Meriden, CT after the driver of another vehicle left his lane and entered Cimato's. Both drivers were killed, and two passengers were injured. Cimato, of Lisbon Falls, Maine, was 37 years old. The band has subsequently issued the following:
"Today we mourn the loss, and celebrate the life of Rick Cimato. The time we all spent with him will always be treasured, and held close to each of our hearts. May he look down and smile at the outpouring of love. 'May the music we make let us live forever.'"

anonymous 12/27/2012 6:57:36 AM

To Dyami and the rest of LIAV - So sorry to hear about this. Hope you other guys are doing well. Was just thinking about this band the other day.... From John (Time of Cholera, Wash DC)

Anyone who thinks this is awesome needs to suffer a similar fate . Not one of you are worth the scum off the bottom of Ricks shoe . RIP to a great musician , friend , brother , and someone who made great contributions to the Hardcore/Metal scene . fck all you keyboard warriors that are talking shit and laughing about the situation . People like you are why I am pro choice .

Wow, RIP. Wasn't he a regular here?

anonymous 12/27/2012 7:18:24 AM

Is there a vacant drummer position?

anonymous 12/27/2012 7:20:37 AM

Should have locked in the seatbelt. ROTFLMFAO

Shit news. Hope the passengers live.

mikebythesun 12/27/2012 9:26:34 AM

Such sad news. I played a bunch of shows with LIAV and they contributed a lot. My thoughts go out to his family and close friends. To the users mocking this news: there are plenty of opportunities on this messageboard to make fun and blow off steam and flex anonymously. This is not one of them. Show the same respect that you would expect if it were your friend or brother who was killed the day after Christmas.

nothinlefttogive 12/27/2012 9:31:56 AM

that sucks. i read about that accident the other day. apparently some fckhead got on one of our worst highways going north on the southbound side. real shitty. RIP.

anonymous 12/27/2012 11:04:40 AM

typical lambgoaters, making jokes at inappropriate times. come fight me, i dare you. your witty comment you just made will be your last.

sandpaperseatbelts 12/27/2012 11:19:59 AM

My heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and bandmates. Not familiar with these guys at all but its still fcked.

anonymous 12/27/2012 11:49:09 AM

RIP. However, no care at all about this obscure D-list band. Also, their name makes my head hurt.

anonymous 12/27/2012 11:50:39 AM

Saying edgy mall-metal things to impress strangers on the Internet.

anonymous 12/27/2012 12:35:26 PM

You think this is funny? I hear your mom calling you. Enjoy your job at taco bell, and hope your mom doesn't turn off your internet, lest we all be deprived of your pointless insight. You want attention? Go jump off a bridge.

rick____tocchet 12/27/2012 2:45:28 PM

Who? What band? Sucks someone died, but who the fck was this guy?

anonymous 12/27/2012 3:01:28 PM

Always sucks losing a talented musician, rip from a fellow mainer

anonymous 12/27/2012 3:13:08 PM

hey rick____tocchet, it says who he was on the link you clicked. and at the top of the fcking page you dumb fck, right wing, limp dck.

anonymous 12/27/2012 3:28:46 PM

^are you saying that being "right wing" is of the same class or nature as a "limp dck" or a "dumb fck" or someone that makes a joke during a death? that's a pretty "progressive" attitude BRO. (also, kill yourself)

anonymous 12/27/2012 3:30:22 PM

LIAV was always cool to see back eleven or twelve years ago in NJ and NYC. RIP and good luck to all moving forward.

anonymous 12/27/2012 3:41:32 PM

^are you saying that being "right wing" is of the same class or nature as a "limp dck" or a "dumb fck" or someone that makes a joke during a death? that's a pretty "progressive" attitude BRO. (also, kill yourself) LOL! upset about mitt still, goofy?

anonymous 12/27/2012 3:52:06 PM

Rick had a family, take a break from the rhetoric and have some respect. Liav was a great band, great guys too. Multiple family members are have to deal with this now, you should think about that before you "lol" (which is something only the worst of the worst douche bags say)

bees 12/27/2012 4:59:45 PM

What an absolutely shitty way to die, RIP and all that jazz.

anonymous 12/27/2012 5:17:12 PM

At least he wasn't drunk driving like Suicide Motorcycle Silence.

adamsuperfan 12/27/2012 6:30:31 PM

That guy was cool, so sad.

anonymous 12/27/2012 7:45:43 PM

I can't believe shit heads are joking about this. You jerks will experience loss and pain, then you might gain a some appreciation for life and the people around yoI the enrich your life. My condolences to those who are grieving this loss.

anonymous 12/27/2012 9:47:24 PM

I've personally never listened to this band, but laughing/joking about anyone's death is way out of proportion. No matter the circumstances. That was someone's kid. Think about how devastated this man's relatives and friends. Lambgoat keyboard warriors will never quit.

brassknuckleromance 12/27/2012 10:29:23 PM

thats awful news. condolences.

cuttersofthecheese 12/28/2012 12:59:53 PM

the gay who associates internet trolls with right wing inbred fcks is clearly a moron. Both parties suck dck, lie and fck you in the ass. Having a preference for either is just lunacy.

anonymous 12/28/2012 4:34:29 PM

"the gay who associates internet trolls with right wing inbred fcks is clearly a moron." Oh look, its Paul Ryan's right wing c*nt brother. Right wingers are gays because they hate abortion. Abortions fcking rule, dont knock it until you've tried it you pussies, also a fetus is a clump of cells, not a human, a fetus cant read, write, or add and isnt entitled to property or ammunition. You baptist fcks.Medicis

anonymous 12/30/2012 10:28:47 AM

The only time I visit lambgoat is when I hear someone has kicked the bucket. Just to read what all you fcking idiots have to say.

buddy_ackerman 12/30/2012 1:55:56 PM

When reached for comment Randy Blythe was quoted as being "thoroughly disgusted" with the whole situation.

anonymous 12/30/2012 6:22:09 PM

"Respect the man and his friends and family." LOL. You act like it's your 1st time here.

shane_battier 1/1/2013 7:18:05 PM

awful. good dude...

anonymous 1/2/2013 1:44:34 AM

The only time I visit lambgoat is when I hear someone has kicked the bucket. Just to read what all you fcking idiots have to say. Dude you should join the one really shitty Swedish metal band with that Peter Tagtgren jerk as its frontman. You would be right at home.

anonymous 1/2/2013 1:49:15 AM

You're all just a bunch of babbys

anonymous 1/2/2013 11:56:53 AM

^^^ I'm so offended. Being a baby, that wouldn't be so bad. But a babby, damn, I'm gonna cry myself to sleep every night now. Thanks, douche.

anonymous 1/5/2013 10:42:27 AM

r.i.p. great guys great band.

anonymous 10/3/2023 1:45:39 AM
