![]() Also known as: Lord Maniac (Beelzebubba) 11070 (Not Richard, But Dick) Real Name: David Schulthise Instruments: Bass, Backing Vocals, Percussion, Channeling, Sampler Milkmen History: At college, Joe became friends with another Joe, who was in fact Dave's brother. Joe and Dave subsequently got together and started making music to the lyrics that Rodney was sending. RIP David Schulthise: Tragically, Dave ended his own life on March the 10th of 2004. My sympathies go out to all of his family and friends. Dave was a great bass player and a lovely human being, and will be very much missed. Dave had been the most elusive of Milkmen since the band called it a day. I can't claim to know Dave at all, and only shared a couple of emails with him shortly before the tragic events of March. One thing I do know is that he was very proud of his work with the Dead Milkmen and was very happy to know that something he did would be remembered forever. If you wish to post a note of condolence or remembrance, please visit the Official Message Board and the Dave Blood Memorial Thread, which is read by the band and Dave's family. It really is a testament to the person that Dave was that so many people have expressed what he meant to them. Dave's last interview with Mark Prindle, early in 2004, ended with the following: Q: What one thing do you want the world to know about Mr. Dave Blood? A: I played in a band called the Dead Milkmen, and, strange as it may seem, I AM allergic to dairy products. |
