From Hell, Sylent Storm, Existential Depression, and Burney Chair @ Musichead tonight
Jym Harris of Sylent Storm
Big metal show in Medford tonight (9/25/14). Although From Hell‘s album was made by members (or former members) of groups like Death Angel, Testament, Slayer, Forbidden, and Nevermore, the lineup tonight will feature George Anderson on vocals but none of the other studio members.

Sylent Storm, Hessian, Blood of Kings, and Warriors of Light @ Musichead tonight
Sylent Storm @ Club 66
Warriors of Light will kick things off tonight (9/3/14) at 6 p.m. for this all ages show.
Club 66 also has scheduled some metal, Section 5150 “with Special Guests”. That show is supposed to start at 9 p.m. I’m hoping to catch some of it after the Musichead show.
From “fan” to “in the band”
The stories are legendary. A fan goes to a show to support a favorite band.
One thing leads to another, and before you know it, they become a roadie for the band.
Then someone gets sick and they “fill in” on a “temporary” basis.
In the end, they will be playing guitar and/or singing lead on vocals.
Be very careful bands who you invite to shows because they tend to take over.
Some examples:
Eric Bloom took on the title “sound engineer” before switching it to “tour manager” for the band Soft White Underbelly. Before long their singer mysteriously dropped out of the band and Bloom stepped in on guitar and lead vocals, changing the band’s name to Blue Öyster Cult in the process. 40+ years later he still runs the show.
Harald Oimoen took photos of D.R.I. He worked that into a gig selling merchandise for them before taking on the title “bass tech”. The D.R.I. bassist became “tired” and Harald took over on bass duties to finish out a tour. This has lasted for the past 15+ years.
Tim “Ripper” Owens sung for a Judas Priest tribute band called British Steel. Rob Halford left Judas Priest due to “internal tensions within the band” (yeah right, like a band is really going to have any internal tensions), and Ripper stepped into Halford’s role.
Frank Bello was Anthrax’s roadie in the early days, but for the past 30 years he has served as the band’s bassist and acrobat.
Then there is the little guy in today’s photos… I highly suspect he is attempting a similar coup.
Wehrmacht @ Musichead (July 10, 2014)
Wehrmacht @ Musichead (Medford, Oregon – 7/10/14)
It’s been nearly a month since Raptor and Wehrmacht buzzed through Southern Oregon. Other than the one photo I posted earlier, I hadn’t looked at those photos until today. Looks like I have a dozen or more decent ones that I need to process…
I’ll get to the rest later. For now I will leave you with this one of the end of the evening. Wehrmacht has a tradition of calling members of the audience to the stage at the end of their set. This makes more sense in venues with a large stage. Musichead’s stage is barely big enough for a small band, let alone audience members and a 5-piece band. However, that didn’t stop Wehrmacht from packing the stage. James Lind, of Sylent Storm, did a fantastic Paul Di’Anno impression as the guest vocalist on this Iron Maiden cover. Members of Raptor can also be seen on stage in this photo.
RattleheaD, Deathblow, Sylent Storm, and Insanity’s Reign @ Musichead tonight

There is a four band metal show in Medford tonight. RattleheaD (SoCal) and Deathblow (SLC) are the bands travelling through.
RattleheaD has had this show listed as August 4, but I understand they will be playing August 3, not August 4, at Musichead. Things will get started about 6 p.m.
