Saw these guys at the Classic Metal Fest in Kalamazoo MI summer 01. They rocked! That whole festival was awesome! Anyone else go? Too bad Halloween never got the props they deserved, they should have been more popular, they had what it took! Even a lot of die hard metalheads have never heard of them which is sad.
i remember picking this record up at a local record store back in mid 80s not knowing anything about the band but it looked cool...25 years later i still rank this album in the top 10 of the slew of records i own from the 70s to present...killer guitar...great clear vocals and a bad ass drummer
I will try to get some video from their next show. They haven't played a second show yet. It has been raining here for about a month. All of their shows were outside. Maybe next Saturday.
I was talking to someone about puttin up OLD live footage from the 80's but if ya could put up some new stuff that would be cool too.Are you in Germany?Back in Detroit here.
you know I was just wondering what the name of that show was with Doug Podell I remember seeing them also on that show. Thanks for the input, I couldn't remember The Beat.. boy them were the good ole' days!
@gemini85ab im from canada and first got introduced to these guys as a teen and was mesmerided... (fucking spell it better!) fucking amazing band,,,,,at the time they were the heaviest and scariest and the best rockin band around...they were before metallica or any of those other bands!!!!!!helloween fuckin rules!!!
Rick Craig is an awesome guy. He is probably my best friend. Rick and I work together. He is responsible for my 13 year old son picking up a guitar. We go over to his house and he still pulls down the Flying V and hits it hard. He is a super guy and I consider myself lucky to have him as a friend.
I don't want to forget Liz. If it weren't for her, I never would have met Rick. Thanks to both of you, y'all are the greatest. Let's get together and cook out again.
hey scamp would u happen to know if this band of even just rick craig was ever influenced by black sdabbath i mean teh bass is thick and rick does that sustain think with the feedbakc which tony iommy did, judas priest were also influenced that way by sabbath was this band influenced by priest as well maybe?
Rick was definitely influenced by Iommi. Rick is starting to play some again. He is a pretty private guy, so don't expect to see him on stage anytime soon. He gets together with some friends and jams on the weekends sometimes.
Rick and I work together, and we are also best friends. I was wrong about Iommi. Rick was more influenced by Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower. Also by Alice Cooper. Right now, Robin Trower is his favorite guitarist. He went to see him last year.
I followed Halloween, Strut and Toby Redd during the 80's. Halloween was always my favorite because of Rick Craig. Back than I always said that Halloween would have been better and went farther in the music business with a different lead singer. Halloween died when Rick Craig left the band. Not only did he play well, he had the looks that kill onstage. They needed a singer with better looks and a better voice. Rick was too good for this band.
GREAT VIDEO...
