Well, that made us grin back then !



Some of us wondered if James joined Alice Coopers band! or if this guitarist guy ripped off the priest collar idea after James wore it at least once onstage at Ildiko's earlier in 1987 before this music video?
I forgot which show that was, and didn't bring a camera back then, (only a handheld tape recorder sometimes to record shows or do interviews).
PS.
Not the first time I heard the Cooper camp borrowed ideas from Toronto area bands. There was some idea they took from Piledriver? I would have to check old emails, unless it was something I was told on the phone once from Gored.
he didn't care at the time when they did it I think, as he is a HUGE Alice Cooper fan.

decibel magazine - Retrospective: Malhavoc’s “Premeditated Murder”

Evil Annihilator posted on facebook this link :
decibel magazine - Retrospective: Malhavoc’s “Premeditated Murder”

I will guess it was written by this same Greg Pratt ->  https://exclaim.ca/writers/greg_pratt

Pretty much agree with what he said.

Though. after this album was released, was when I stopped caring.

It was clear they were about to abandon metal to become whatever it is they are, and I was not going to pay to see them play live anymore or buy their future cd's. Premeditated Murder was cool for what was included on it, but now I see it was probably to keep the interest from old fans by clearing out some of the vault.

I never seen the concerts where Jimi was cutting his chest onstage, but for years was hearing/reading about it from others, or new friends who were fans.

Was not interested in viewing that in person. Especially since he supposedly was taken to the hospital many times.
(Maybe as a teenager it might be cool and appealing to watch a show and then learn the musician died after you witnessed the last concert ever?)

and the main reason I stopped caring....

James started hanging upside down naked onstage, and as John C. once said (but about porn) "If I want to look at some guy's dick, I'll go home and look at my own".

Anyone remember when a review said Malhavoc's drums sounded like shit?

I forgot from where, so ask James if you are on the Malhavoc facebook group page.

Somebody wrote that the drums sounded like shit on The Release (or maybe it was another early CD).
Funny thing is, was it not Dave Lombardo's drumbeats sampled off the SLAYER "Reign In Blood" album ??!
