Old thrash metal gods. Old heavy metal gods. Old dusty, shredding, long-haired heavy metal thrash gods Overkill are playing at Screamin' Willies next Monday, where I will be.
It's amazing to think that in 1992 I saw them on their ten year reunion tour in Hallendale, Florida down at the Rocket Club. Now, we are looking at 30 years, and these guys are hitting harder than ever before.
Why?
I think its because Bobby Blitz Ellsworth does not drink or smoke. He is the front, and they would not exist otherwise. He is going to be 50 YEARS OLD in the next few years, and he is taking care of himself.
I cannot say that for his eardrums however, as his screeches and godly vocal warblings are what makes one of the LOUDEST bands on the earth go! Electic Rattlesnake, the new album is amazing.
