The Geelong advertiser reports: Damien "Damo' Morris always told his mates all he wanted to do was get up on stage and scream with a heavy metal band and he was living that dream when his life was cut short.

The lead singer of acclaimed Geelong death metal band The Red Shore died at 27 on December 19 in a minivan crash near Coffs Harbour, while touring with All Shall Perish. His mate Andy Milner also died. They were on tour.

One of Damo's long-time mates Ryan Chameley told more than 500 mourners at Kardinia Heights Centre yesterday that they had been dorky kids together trying to start bands.

"He actually did it, he walked out on stage and thousands of people would just do what he said,' Mr Chameley said.

Damo's mother said she had been shocked and amazed by the level of media attention he, the band and the accident had received. "I was blessed to have a son who touched many lives and touched many hearts,' she said.

RIP Damo and Andy

There were a fair amount of people at the adelaide fundraiser show last night. Good to see the local metal and hc scene banding together to raise money for a good cause.
