LOL Bondo... I made a game out of that and tried to figure out what all the bands were before looking ahead at your next line to see the names of them. I got a perfect score, woohoo! Granted it wasn't exactly challenging, but it felt like an accomplishment just the same. hehe

Hey Calico, you remember Scatterbrain too? I saw them on the "Here Comes Trouble" tour on the local club circuit back in the day. They were awesome...weird, but awesome.
I remember Tommy Crist (sp?, the lead singer) on stage doing something that he'll likely burn in hell for. It was funny as crap though! He was dressed as a nun, and under his habit he had a pair of very large fake boobs. He opened the top to expose the breasts and squeezed one of the nipples, which shot out a stream of milk that put out the cigarette he was smoking. They were wild! The one guitar player was dressed as a chicken and the drummer was dressed like Tarzan.
Ah memories. Nuns with squirting boobs, giant chickens, Tarzan...sounds like a bad acid trip.

Don't call me dude!

Scatterbrain - "Don't Call Me Dude". Good old Tommy Christ. Prior to Scatterbrain, he was in the band Ludichrist.
I preferred hardcore bands like Agnostic Front and the Cro-Mags though.

I suppose the Scatterbrain show was pretty close to sick as the GWAR show I saw back in '88 or so. Odorous Urangus was equiped with a huge 2 foot phallus that he of course stroked and tugged on until the creamy filling shot out all over the audience. I was in the front row with my buds and aside from all the blood we were also jizzed on. The horror!
I saw Helloween on the MTV Headbangers Ball in support of Anthrax and Exodus about that same time. I enjoyed their first few albums, but never got the Judas EP. I guess I need to search it out.

Awesome choice. I love Gordon's work very much myself, with "If You Could Read My Mind" being one of my all-time favorite songs. Simply haunting in a most beautiful way.
Calico Jack, I completely share your sentiments for "If You Could Read My Mind". It truly is a mesmerising song. Gordon's voice is so pleasant, so natural, so soulful. It flows like water over pebbles. Nothing or nobody, however, comes close to the heaven-sent depth or expressiveness of Elvis' voice. At least... not for me. Posts: 126 | Registered: Jun 2004

The only thing that bugged me about that song was when I found out that there were two different acoustic guitar tracks that had been recorded separately and then laid down on top of one another. For some reason I'd initially been under the impression that Gordon played all of the guitar parts simultaneously (rhythm & fingerpicked melodies together), but such was not the case on that song. On the bright side, it made me feel better about the potential of covering the song!

Yeah, I'm afraid it's gone. It was only open for about four months before closing its doors. The club had been dealing with financial problems for quite a while by that point, and after people started demanding their money due to a poor turnout at the Genitorturers show on September 23rd, the club refused to give any refunds and that was pretty much the final straw. Bands had also been cancelling gigs there on a fairly regular basis as well, so business was bad from the start more or less.

Calico Jack
that is true.my friends band played that nite and venue barely paid anything to them...it is true tho,the turnout in that place looked around 50-75 people @ the most,prior to genitortuers maybe 35 people were there and most of them were not drinking(wich is where a lot of venues make their cash).I think if lamours promoted themselves more that they were open again,they would still be open,they didn't even have a webpage,jus a page on myspace,now if they promoted themselves in the village voice,had bands linked lamours from their page,etc they'd still be open.....r.I.p lamours

I will always have great memories from that club. Whether it was interviewing Kreator for the first time, throwing a stinkbomb during Overkill's set, seeing Slayer a million times, or being up on stage during a Sadus set. Great, great memories.
Speaking of gay, segue to the Genitorturers. Is the singer still dating that gaylord David Vincent of Morbid Angel? I was backstage one time and David Vincent was standing infront of a mirror and practicing playing with his hair and sucking in his lips. Lord of all posers and plague.
