Randy or Eddie? Randy. Mr. Crowley gives testimony.

The band Testament wrote the song “The Evil Has Landed” about the events of September 11, 2001.

I was poking around the Metal-Rules.com website and came across this “where are they now?” for Znowhite.

I had never really heard of Znowhite and still don’t know much about them, tho I remember my friend Bryan had their “Act of God” album. But they evolved into Cyclone Temple, and I do remember them. I have their “I Hate, Therefore I Am” album and think it’s a fine example of thrash metal.

I even got to see them play at The Bayou in Washington D.C.. I think they, of all things, were opening for Last Crack. Odd bill, but whatever. The thing I remember was both bands were somewhat unknown so the place was pretty empty. I guess things weren’t going well for the band, and the lead singer kept bitching about that and getting upset at the audience for not being puppets in his fingers. I spoke with their drummer afterwards and he was apologetic and a little embarrassed by the singer’s behavior. But, they did rock. I still think it’s a fine album.

Here’s their single, “Words Are Just Words”

Now you’re messin’ with a….

Metallica… “pancakes!”

I can’t hear this song without thinking about Henry Rollins’ riff on Ronnie James Dio… the man on the shiny blue milkcrate. 🙂
