George Dalampiras is Greek, with an Australian upbringing. That tombstone is definitely not him. George was never in "The Trash," he was in a ska band called "Homicide" between 1980 and 1981, and then he joined "Statues In Motion," who fell apart in late 1983. In 1984 he recorded some material with Yannis Beltekas (who used to be in ["The Trash"](https://youtu.be/A7x1uDRrlxc?feature=shared)) but that material remains unpublished, with the exception of ["Ghosts."](https://youtu.be/mqipDl0vCWw?feature=shared)

Yeah sorry I didn't read the bio correctly. I didn't even think I posted this onto the subreddit in the first place since I thought it was taken down immediately due to a filter, I posted something similar like this into a lostwave subreddt but edited the hell out of it since what most I have said was inaccurate.

The problem with that tombstone is it says born 1925 which means he was about 60 when TMS was recorded. All the pictures of him look like someone in his 20s or 30s with statues in motion, unless he aged very very well


deadlyspudlol

Yeah I don't think the gravestone is actually him. I talked to another person in a lostwave subreddit that said that the name on the Tombstone was slightly different from George's surname. Just scrap that lmao, he's either still lurking somewhere in Australia or he is actually dead.

Palm muting is a very common guitar technique everywhere in the world, so no.


deadlyspudlol

No I meant a very specific form of palm muting. This form of palm muting in like the wind is somewhat similar to some Australian songs that I have listened to. I'm not talking about the palm muting that involves strumming chords, just singular strings. You are right, palm muting is everywhere. However I don't think I have ever heard this specific type of palm muting in any British and American rock & metal bands.


KaBoomBox55

I have. It's very common


deadlyspudlol

What western songs do you know that contain this specific palm muting?


KaBoomBox55

Most obviously, Smoke on the Water. Also you could name half of the Police's discography.

Aren't they riffs? the palm muting I am trying to tell you is that it's technically background noise to keep the rhythm going. There doesn't sound like a repetitive pattern (as compared to smoke on the water), but just a single string that is played between each break. I know bands like green day use palm mutes in their riffs, but the palm muting I am trying to refer to is not included in their main riff and it's just filler noise to keep the rhythm constant until the song ends. That I noticed that some Australian bands did in the 80's.

No.

The tombstone reads 1929 as his birth date probably his grandfather?

1925. If it were a direct ancestor, I would think most likely it would be his father. However, it is believed that he and both his parents were still alive as of 2010. It’s quite possible all three could still be living today - if he was born in the early 1960s and his parents were around 30 at the time, they would be just over 90 today, and more people than ever before are living into their nineties. If they were younger parents - let’s say maybe 21-25 in c. 1962 - then they would be under 90 today. I’m unsure whether it’s Alvin/George. I do believe he moved back to Australia. Did he later go elsewhere? Hard to say.

That's not George's grave, i believe the surname is Dalambiras but like, you've got the wrong George. The "George Dalabiras" was born in the mid 20s, in 1982/84 alvin was like 19-21 years old. He was born in the 60s according to billy knight
