2014: Year To Be Happy?

New Year's is one of those bittersweet "holidays" that evokes the apparent need to look at the year that past and promise (or hope) for a better year, often through making certain choices, commitments, etc.  A secular Yom Kippur, if you will.  (I'm sure there's some historical overlap given that Yom Kippur immediately follows the Jewish New Year).

In any case, good luck to all with your respective chosen improvements.  I will start off very small, but relevant.  The Master Cylinder played drums (a/k/a "Pile Driver"), and I, Johnny Human Torch, played bass, (a/k/a, "Low Beef Oil").  On the one hand, it's cool that someone was thoughtful enough to name the band members after the fact, but they made an error or had erroneous info.


Having to do this correction of "the record" if you will, is SO Tap.  We were (are) the Spinal Tap of NYC thrash.

  1. Hello Johnny Human torch, I don't know if you'll remember me, but I was Heavy's roommate, my name is Patrick (I'm credited on "YOU LOVE US"). Anyway long story short, Dave Brockie of GWAR passed away yesterday and I tried to get a hold of HD but to know avail. I reached out to Master cylinder but well HD did give him the name of LAMES!! Anyway I was hoping you might have a working phone #.... I've got 4 but none of them are his anymore........so out of gas!! Well hope to hear from you. Cheers Patrick McDonald.

  2. I’m looking for Heavy as well. Life is short and the years go by so quickly. I want to apologize for not sticking with him as he got sober. I last saw him at a Pro-Pain show in Denver and I should’ve listened to what he had to say. If anyone can, please tell him I’m sorry and I miss him. Robin Hannon formerly Wallace
