Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Yeah, they are a band that still loves making music, and performing for their fans. One of my favorites. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Yeah, it was the last one written. The enthusiasm was it’s a band my friend and I talk about all the time. He got me into them, and his mother had passed away. This was in March around my birthday, he had called me in late February saying he might not be able to call on my birthday because she was getting worse. She passed, I knew he was going to be busy with all her arrangements. So I wrote this episode for him. I wanted it to be good when I read it on my YouTube channel. I was relieved a couple months later on my belated birthday call, because he calls me on my birthday, always has. That it was his escape, a place to relax and get calm. He said he’d close his eyes and listen to me talk about, Overkill. So I was there for him in an untraditional way, but I was there. Sorry for the novel. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. I agree they went more commercial it was their “Black Album” says J.J. Burton. Just like Megadeth had “Countdown to Extinction”, and Slayer had “Seasons.” Every thrash band took a shot at what Metallica done with the Black Album. That’s also straight from the mouth of my old friend. He’s the wisest man I know when it comes to Thrash or Death Metal. If I get stuck he’s the one I ask. lol. But we loved the Blues vibe and the songwriting. They are often called the Motörhead of thrash by some. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. YouTube away, I’m always into teaching people about music they haven’t heard yet. Appreciate you.

The Fuck You Ep is a great listen. Though the track “Fuck You” is a cover song from the Canadian Punk band D.O.A. Check them out as well.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Benjamin. So glad you connected with the story my friend. I always thought it should have been Overkill instead of Anthrax representing the east coast side of the Big 4. And I like Anthrax, but Overkill had songwriting and something special that couldn’t be duplicated. I agree a moxie, or a swagger. Plus “Blitz” who reminds me of a Thrash metal David Lee Roth. He’s clever in his lyric writing and has a very witty sarcasm to his humor. He’s a fucking frontman, not strapped to an instrument. He knows how to interact with the crowd. Great album, I love Decay as well. “Who Tends the Fire?” is one of my favorites as well. “Time To Kill” is awesome as well. But I really loved “Decay” as a song. Being it explains life on the road and touring isn’t as glamorous as you think, it’s work. Great comment. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Always moving forward. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Yes, in my case it brought out bad choices, poor judgment, and being a real pain in the ass for sure. I’ve been married going on 19 years. I asked my wife a few months back, “How the hell did you put up with me for the 16 years I was an alcoholic?” Her answer was simple, “Because she loves me.” Then she proceeded to describe the hell I put her through, in detail” I deserved every word of it too. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, as a writer I’ve left a roadmap of my life in my writes. Sure, you’ve done that as well, you said so above in so many words. Pain is part of that for me, but it has so many more faces than that. It’s like a ride I couldn’t get off of, the cycle repeats over and over, a vicious circle. Sorry, for ranting. Your comment made me reflect a little, it happens. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, P.G. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I know what you mean, believe me I do. I like a former songwriting partner in my life used to always talk about if you’re miserable you write better. Don’t know that I believe that theory anymore, I believe it’s if the subject matter strikes a nerve. Then a writer will get raw, even down and dirty sometimes. Thank you, so much for the kind words about me being a better person, and yes even in a better place, I’m truly blessed, indeed. Appreciate you.
