Sometimes we would be playing with bands on their own, very expensive gear. And Steve would still be the best sounding at the end of the night, regardless as to whether he was playing through a good amp or a rented piece of shit. It was nuts. He really had that little thing dialed in.

Universally hated. Every time they got a little momentum, the dunces leading the band (Rick Rozz and Kam) would always steer the band to a more commercial direction. When they first reformed before From Beyond was released, they were doing the funk-metal thing that was popular at the time. After getting laughed off stage a few times, they went back to their roots for the album. They then released a stellar ep with Steve Swanson on second guitar. They even had Cronos do guest vocals on a Venom cover. So they were starting to do well again. And then they tried to do some Pantera/Type 0 Negative thing with this Promise record. It was pretty terrible. But both Kam and Rick are a couple of the biggest numbskulled dipshits I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. So it makes sense that everything they take the reigns of crashes and burns.

Yuppers. I wanted the Ian/ Scott from Soulside, etc.. DC sound but the SGs ALWAYS go out of tune by the 3rd song.
