DEATHRIDERS first report and 100’s of Photos from ROCKTOWER FESTIVAL 2009 Lübeck, Germany – Posted Online!

Hey all you Metal Thrashers,

Back from the first ever ROCKTOWER FESTIVAL 2009 in Lübeck, Germany.   What a blast!  It was an honor to share the stage with one of my heroes the legendary PAUL DIANNO twice,  at the pre-party and at ROCKTOWER.  PAUL DIANNO is not only a great singer with a truly distinctive style and sound all his own, but a humble and very cool  person.  Cool to meet up with old friends FIREWIND and BULLET who we’ve played before at Sweden Rock Festival  2006.  Also got to watch a little of PAUL DIANNO who sounded great!, STONE COLD BLACK who totally kicked ass!, FIREWIND who were also very strong, but did a cover of an 80’s song She’s A Maniac – which we all thought was a little weird!  KORPLIKAANI who sounded like Finnish Vikings – ENSIFERUM who were fearless and fucking tight! Not my brand, but much respect! They killed it!!!! In a pagan metal way. HAGGARD who had an orchestra and opera singers.  The festival was a diverse blend of great bands that all kicked fucking ass! It was actually the most interesting combination of bands that we ever played with. We were glad to be there to represent the Old School! The best was hanging with our friends Dirk Hormann and Korea Black of Stone Cold Black who were the most fun and old school metal!  We look forward to returning “Back With A Vengeance”  to Germany in July on our  tour which will take us to the Headbanger’s Open Air 2009 and Nightmare Over St. Pauli Festival before Wacken.  Special thanks to Steffi and Tennessee from HOA for filming, shooting and hanging with us and Jens whose restaurant Dirk took us to and had our first Dunkel and Weiss beer of the trip at 9:00am in the morning, who were all really great to us.   It tasted fucking good after the plane ride!  Me and Dave Chedrick played some intense chess for most of the flight.  He was ready for a rematch on the way home!  New nickname for DEATHRIDERS guitarist Dave Watson “Schnitzel Man”!  and famous quote of the tour goes to Dirk at the afterparty at PIRANHA BAR in Lübeck after many many cocktails: I BUY THIS FUCKING BAR!!!!  Thank you Dirk and Korea for the making the GREATEST party ever!!!!  We come back in Juli 2009!  So let’s kill some goats for Satan!!!!

Stay Thrashing!!!!

/Neil T

Neil will host a one-hour workshop and talk with the kids about their goals in music and lend his experience as the first power vocalist of thrash metal. Topics include: How to craft a kick-ass song or a metal thrashing anthem. What are some of the roadblocks you’ve experienced in the music biz. How to kick-ass on stage and keep kicking ass or how to maintain endurance while singing at the top of your lungs for over an hour. What advice to offer up and coming bands that are advanced musicians or starting out. How to find your own sound-voice. What is your real-true passion. Are you doing this as a hobby or are you hardcore! How well do you handle rejection. How much patience do you really have. What does it take to be successful. How persistent do you really have to be. Why hearing is very important as well as being a careful and attentive listener. Why Lemmy is the coolest. Why DIY? – Do It Yourself. What is GID mode/Get It Done Mode. And other cool stuff I’ll think of by then! Prepare yourselves!

RIP JEREMY LUSK FMX 2008 WORLD CHAMPION! A TRUE WARRIOR HAS RISEN

My condolences and prayers go out to the family and friends of Jeremy Lusk Freestyle Motorcross 2008 World Champion who died after being hospitalized in Costa Rica after an stunt motocross accident where he landed headfirst in a Hart Attack Backflip. A sad and tragic loss of a brave warrior.

Jeremy was a stand up guy, real-people and down to earth as it gets when I had the honor to meet him and his teamates on the Metal Mulisha team in Pomona at the LG Freestyle Motorcross World Championship 2007. Jeremy Lusk was a 22 year old new rising star on the Metal Mulisha team at the time. Jeremy Lusk and I took a few photos in front of his trailer, which was really a kick-ass Rock Star Energy Drink tourbus. I also remembered the Guava flavored Rock Star Energy Juice Drink which I was introduced to that day at catering. I would think of Jeremy Lusk everytime I had one after that. It was great to see the success he had in the year that followed, being #1 in his sport. I performed with Andy Walo, Mitch Perry, Roger Bueno and Michael Leasure at the LG Freestyle Motorcross World Championship 2007 event on the final day of LA County Fair 2007 at Pomona Fairgrounds. I will always remember Jeremy Lusk as a real authentic person who pushed all limits. I will miss getting the chance to meet up with him again at another great event like that. I am thankful that our paths crossed and was blown away that he appreciated what I did too. Jeremy Lusk you will always be IMMORTAL!!!! and without FEAR!!!!

Much Respect
Godspeed Jeremy,
\m/><\m/
