Snakes in the Playground

Mark sent me a sampler disk of old Christian metal bands.

All the regulars from back in the day are there... Shout, Ken Tamplin, Ken Tamplin in other bands, other bands that Ken Tamplin produced so they sound exactly like Ken Tamplin/Shout..

Bloodgood, Whitecross, Deliverance, Sacred Warrior, X-Sinner, Stryper.. (hey! what are they doing in there!?)..

But the hands down winner of this past-life musical romp? Bride.

Oh yeah, Baby.. Bride's still got it going on!

Their contribution is "Psychadelic Super Jesus" from the Snakes in the Playground album. And it flat-out SMOKES. If I were riding along today, listening to the radio, and this song came on--as a new release--I would crank it up, jam it out, and then call the radio station to ask them to play it again.. tell me who it was.. and tell me where they lived so that I could have a pizza delivered to them.

Woot!

Speaking of Bride... Troy Thompson, the guitar player, used to play an orange Gretch through a Mesa stack.

I have an orange guitar... : ]]

Scott has a Mesa.

hehehe..

The guitar, blessedly, is back from the shop. And it, like Bride, SMOKES. mmm.. smo-ky...

The tube situation got worse. Turned out I had TWO baddies.. but the continuingly awesome Bob at Eurotubes is sending me two replacement tubes.

We are going to rock this town. We are going to rock it inside out.

Oh yeah.
