Glenn Marshall Rambo

RIP Katrina 2005


December 4, 1970 -- August 30, 2005

 

According to a posting at NolaUnderground.com, former SOILENT GREEN vocalist Glenn Rambo was found dead his mother's home Saturday afternoon (Oct. 1). "His ex-girlfriend Stacy and some National Guardsmen went to Glenn's mom's house on Guerra Drive in Violet Louisiana [on Saturday] because Stacy had not heard from Glenn since before [Hurricane Katrina]," a friend of Glenn's by the name of Melissa writes in the posting. "They discovered the bodies of Glenn and his mom still in the house. Glenn had a broken leg, and he and his mom had no car to evacuate. If you know them you probably know that his family didn't have much money. I'm not sure where they are going to bury them, or if there are any next-of-kin that could help. Maybe we can all take up a collection to make sure that they are buried properly and have grave markers. I don't even know how to go about doing something like that. It just makes me sad to think that after we have all lost so much, we are now finding out that we have lost good friends as well. Glenn was an important part of the [New Orleans] music scene, and a good friend to many of us. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered."

"A good friend to most of us that post here on NolaUnderground was found dead in his Mother's home yesterday afternoon. His ex-girlfriend Stacy and some National Guardsmen went to Glenn's Mom's house on Guerra Drive in Violet Louisiana yesterday because Stacy had not heard from Glenn since before the huricane. They discovered the bodies of Glenn & his Mom still in the house.

Glenn Rambo! My brother in spirit. Glenn was one of the nicest people you could ever meet! I remember when me and him were in Soilent Green together, and we used to get rides to the shows, he would make sure he talked to every single person around after the show! It would literally take him hours to finsh because he really appreciated people being into his band. Our ride to the show that week, wouldn't be our ride the next week, becuse they would be in there cars snoring by the time he was ready to leave.It didn't matter if he knew you or not, he would give you his full attention. He was really that cool of a person! Before I even knew Glenn I used to see him around in stores, and he used to salute me every time he seen me. He was also one of the most honest people you could meet. He got busted with some stuff one time, and served his time like a true person would. I think he served almost 2 years. When we started jammin together in Soilent Green that was some of the craziest times of my life. Glenn used to come to my house at 6a.m.,and wait for my grandmaw to leave for work, so we could jam. That's how the band Nun Molesters got started. The members of that band were Brian Patton, Mickey Jeanfrau, Joey, I'm not going to put Joey's last name because I know he dosen't want to be connected to the band name,( which I can't blame him) Kevin Lemoine, Johnny Vanderhoff, Glenn Rambo, and myself.Another band Glenn had was called GM Pussy Bitch, it was him, Steve Gorgues, and Sean Brizniack.The last band Glenn was in was called Swarm, it was me , Glenn, Page Vernon, Jessica Guillory, and Erik Renz, there maybe videotapes of this floating around Page may have a copy if any of you know him. One of the best memories I have of Glenn is Me and him spending the week in Hammond with Mellisa and Jennifer Ledet. I don't think we wore clothes that whole week, we went around with covers wrapped around us, and when we would go to the store Glenn would put on this bathrobe, and flash all the pretty women! It was halarious! Fun! I am really lucky to have known Glenn. I want people to know he had friends, and family offer him rides to evacuate. I know his cousin Gary tried to get him to leave, and Mickey Jeanfrau tried to get him to leave. He didn't want to leave his pets behind.Pure Heart!

To me Glenn was like a wise elder to my generation, a complete love promoter, who if you knew him would at a modest level make you think about your reason for living. With a great respect and honest toughness apply you with the love you needed regardless of what you thought you needed. The truth came through in his shown respect for people, a light in the universe that belonged to you when it reflected onto you. I will dearly miss him for his part in my life and wish he could have been around to administer in his way the love he knew you needed in his marvelous way of shining light to those who sought him out regardless of social stratification. Rest in Peace friend, I know you shine through the everyday life, that everyone who knew you saw, and I intend to absorb all I can.
Much Love

Glenn "Ozzy" Rambo was one of the most righteous dudes out there! I met Glenn at one of many shows at the V.F.W. Hall on Franklin Avenue "back in the day". He was always "crazy Ozzy" until I ya got to know him. Crazy cuz the guy looked EXACTLY like Charles Manson. I got to know Glenn much better after Serlent Green's first show with Exhorder & Substance Abuse at Storyville Jazz Hall (Margaritaville now for those not in 'tha know') and at the numerous shows at the various Lions' Clubs around Metry. Glenn always had this jambox with him he used to make crude audio recordings of everyone's shows. You could ALWAYS count on Glenn to be at your show taping! In fact, I think my first band's (The Detrimentz) first release had a live track on it that Glenn had taped at the Lion's Club on that jambox, "Endless Time". He probably has countless undigitized hours of live KILLA somewhere or another. One other thing I must say is that dude NEVER said anything bad about anyone or any bands and he would be one of the first people to stick up for anyone he knew regardless of the situation. R.I.P. "OZZY"!!!
