It?s not every day that someone gets to talk with god. Recently, Duke from Metal-Rules.com did just that when he had a discussion with Lemmy of Mot?rhead.  With the band celebrating its 30th anniversary and Lemmy?s recent lifetime achievement award Duke speaks to Lemmy about his career, unfulfilled goals, WWII memorabilia, smoking bans, and lots of other topics. So enough out of me, let?s hear from the man, the legend?LEMMY!

Onslaught wasone of the first UK thrash/death outfits to unleash three mind blowing thrash metal outputs in the 80?s. The band?s second effort THE FORCE is considered their greatest album featuring the legendary Sy Keeler on the vocals. However due to several reasons Onslaught reached its final peak in the early 90?s when several other 80?s thrashers disappeared and split up at that time. In 2005 the reformation of Onslaught came out of blue to several old school thrash metal worshippers when the legendary UK thrashers from Bristol announced that they would perform some gigs and start working on new material. Therefore it was a ?must? to have an interview with the band?s drummer Steve Grice to find out more about the reformation and of course about the historical background of the band.

Industry Profile

Devil Doll Records

Interview by Keith McDonald

There seems to be more and more, albeit smaller, outlets for hard music. Whether it?s Forever Underground, Eclipse or Now or Never Records, unknown talented metal and hard rock acts are finding homes to release their material. The majors are either too busy or not interested in finding and developing these types of acts – but Devil Doll Records is.
 
I recently had the opportunity to speak with the Long Beach, CA based label President John Geldback who gave me a little information about his label venture. You can check out their website at www.devildollrecords.com to get more info.

Y&T – Back On The Road
Interview by: Keith McDonald

< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

It has been almost 20 years since Y&T hit the road and played < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />New York, opening for Ace Frehley way back in 1987. The band released their debut album in 1974, yet are sometimes classified as a band from the 80?s, which at times can be good and bad. Band leader and lead singer Dave Meniketti reassembled his band and have been playing select dates around the East Coast. I had the chance to see the band play live and ask Dave about Y&T and what the future plans are. You can check out his website for info on his solo career and of course, Y&T at www.meniketti.com.
