FORBIDDEN REUNION

[Buddy Lackey]

LIWSE VLAHO AGORI MOU LIWSE

Legendary Bay Area Thrashers FORBIDDEN To Reunite For Select Shows - Oct. 5, 2007 Legendary San Francisco Bay Area thrashers FORBIDDEN will reunite for several shows in 2008. Russ Anderson (vocals), Craig Locicero (guitar), Paul Bostaph (drums), Matt Camacho (bass) and Glen Alvelais (guitar) will bring something that so many of their peers, old-school fans and especially the younger generation of fans that never got to see FORBIDDEN live have been asking for: a true FORBIDDEN reunion!

"We want to show everyone what we used to do was as relevant and powerful as anybody else of that era," Locicero said in a statement released to BLABBERMOUTH.NET. "The gravity of our influence is really dawning on us now and we're very humbled. We owe it in turn back to those who supported our influenced us in the past. We'll be concentrating mostly on 'Forbidden Evil' [1988] and 'Twisted into Form' [1990] material to give the people what they want. The time is right and it's gonna be a lot of fun. 2008 will also be the 20th anniversary for the release 'Forbidden Evil'. It'll be VERY HEAVY and we're all excited to get started."

Added drummer Paul Bostaph (ex-SLAYER, TESTAMENT): "Though out the years I've been asked about FORBIDDEN by many people. Fans and friends alike have been wanting to see us play live again. I'm very happy to see this become a reality! I've been honored to play in some great bands. To play with Craig, Glenn, Matt and Russ (a truly great vocalist) again will be a longtime wish come true. I hope FORBIDDEN fans get a kick outta this as much as I will!"

FORBIDDEN is looking to book one Bay Area show for late January early February and look into some festivals in Europe, Japan and Australia starting in late May. These will all be exclusive gigs and there are no plans for a full-fledged tour, at least not in the immediate future. Locicero says, "We'll put our blood and guts into it and give it all we've got! Get ready to have your heads ripped off, motherfuckers!!!"

Any promoters and booking agents that need to get a hold of the band can reach out to them at www.myspace.com/forbidden__evil (http://www.myspace.com/forbidden__evil).

ΠΡοκειται για τεράστια μπάντα και τεράστιο γεγονός. Ναι χρειάζεται θρέντ, ναι χρειάζεται να τους φέρει κάποιος.

[GuardianOfIvorytower]

Τα 2 πρώτα είναι τεράστιες δισκάρες. Να τους φέρουν να τους δούμε.

Διακινδυνεύοντας να αντιμετωπίσω το μένος του Rush (κι όχι μόνο) θα πώ ότι τα Distortion & Green σε σχέση με τα 2 πρώτα πάνε πίσω (αρκετά) :D
Παρ'όλα συμφωνούμε στο great news! :)

Το ότι είναι Obscure Metal επειδή κάποιοι αδαείς :P δεν άκουσαν χρήζει αυτομάτως εμάς τους γνωρίζοντες (Jim Dandy, Rush, Buddy Lackey, verdictdenied) ως πρεσβευτές της εξάπλωσης της απόλυτης μεταλλικής σοφίας :D

Τα 2 πρώτα Forbidden είναι μεγάλες δισκάρες απλά!

Αν τους φέρει κάποιος ας βάλει support τους Verdict Denied καθ'ότι είμεθα, και οπαδοί της Bay Area, και κάτοικοι παραλιακών περιοχών όπως και όλοι αυτοί οι Καλιφορνέζοι!

Hey Everyone, I just want to share my thoughts about the Forbidden re-union.

The ball got rolling after I saw the 'Get Thrashed' Documentary in ..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 />San Francisco a few months back in San Francisco. It was really easy to get wrapped into the nostalgia. Memories came flooding back to me of what it was like to be at the forefront of the of Thrash Metal movement. Forbidden were part of the second wave of Thrash, but I was sneaking into clubs at the age of 14 and witnessed the first wave for myself. Steve 'Zetro' Souza and his family sat next to my wife and I at the screening. He kept hitting my leg and saying "See Craigy, it's time for Forbidden to show the world what Thrash was about!" I felt very strongly that it had to be right. I had to actually 'feel it' when it finally came time to play some Metal again. I've never been one to fake anything. That was the main reason that I felt the need to get away from Forbidden in the first place. I felt Metal was burnt and I was burnt on Metal. Had to get away, turns out it was for 10 years. Well, I'm Feelin' it now!

I'll be completely honest here. I think most things that are considered Metal now, are not Metal at all. This is only my opinion, of course. When I watch Headbangers Ball now, I can't even tell the difference between the commercial spots and the videos. To my ears and eyes, somehow the spirit has gotten completely lost. It seems as if there is more of a formula that the Hot Topic generation can be generically plugged into. A 'slapped in the face sideways ' haircut, throw yer guitar jump move, and a guy who screams tortured pain lyrics while the other cat whines the same four notes over and over again. Oh yeah, don't forget the Iron Maiden guitar harmonies. No disrespect to the Gods, Maiden, but even they have to be sick of it! Boring. But no more boring then what happened to Metal in the early 90's. It's WAY TOO SAFE! No risk or balls involved. There's gonna be a shake up! I hope all of these bands can adjust to the industry that's about to mass-flush them. Forbidden was a victim of the same cycle. I took the opportunity to use it as a growing period and learned a lot about song writing and myself.

So here we are today. Everybody has their own life either in or out of music. I have Spiralarms as my main priority and I will see it through. I am extremly proud of what we do, at least it's honest. Paul's jamming with Testament again, but he's always pushed really hard to get it back together for some gigs. Russ and Glen still play music, but they have great jobs. Matt's studying Law! Tim's a Pilot in Seattle and Steve lives in Ohio. So I wondered how we will pull this off. Well, the five Bay Area guys met a few weeks ago and agreed that it has to be done. We have to put time aside to have some fun and show everybody what we can do, even now. ..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />

There was a re-union of sorts back in 2001 for Chuck Billy's Thrash of the Titans. At the time, I could not be a part of it because of the scheduling conflicts I had recording the Manmade God record with Rick Rubin in L.A. It killed me! I wanted to be there for rehearsals and the gig itself, but it was my turn to track. I was recording guitars for the week previous and after, every day! Bummer. I gave the guys my 100% blessing to carry on for Chuck, the Cause and the Fans. From all the video I've seen it was a great night, but it still wasn't the real Forbidden yet.

Through the very few line-up changes we had, Forbidden was always Russ's and my baby from the beginning to the ending. We wrote all of the lyrics together and I wrote the majority of the music. The lyrics gradually got better, as did the music because we'd always had great players who contributed a lot of really good ideas. Matt was there since the first record, he was the heart and soul of the energy and the fun we had. On the first two records, Paul was a huge part of the writing process as far as arrangements go. He would always bring something cool to the table, stuff that helped make us unique. Glen was a monster shredder that always blew peoples minds with the spice he was adding on the top. He really pushed me and is still is a shredder!

There were also two other VERY important members who had great input throughout the years. Tim Calvert played and wrote from Twisted to Green. He was another amazing source of ideas, we made a great team. The other was Steve Jacobs, possibly the most under-rated drummer ever! It was difficult to replace the guy that replaced Dave Lombardo in Slayer, but Steve was amazing on both Distortion and Green. Hopefully both guys will be available to play our local show and be a part of the material they helped create. That would be the perfect scenario.

To say I was lucky to play with all of these guys is an understatement. They made me so much better and we all grew up together.

Anyhow, I just felt the need to share my feelings about the future and the past. There will be many more updates and show announcements to come. All of the other guys will be sharing their thoughts as time goes on. Should be interesting.

Ε, να γελάσουμε και εμείς! Μα ΤΙ ΛΕΣ;;; Το Φορμπίντεν Ίβολ απλούστατα είναι μέσα στα δέκα καλύτερα θρας έβερ! Δηλαδή αν πάρεις αντικειμενικά το πράγμα, οι θρασάδες ανά την υφήλιο θα συμφωνήσουνε μαζί μου, τα 2 πρώτα είναι τα ντιφάινινγκ Φορμπίντεν άλμπουμ, δεν μπορεί όλοι να είμαστε θρασοκομπλεξάρες!

Για του λόγου το αληθές:
Chalice of Blood, Through Eyes of Glass, Forbidden Evil. Τέτοια έπη δεν έχουν τα 2 τελευταία.

Και για να τελειώνουμε με τα άλλα 2, το Ντιστόρσιον αν και ξενερωτικά διαφορετικό έχει τρεις κομματάρες. Το Γκριν δεν σώζεται.

Μπάντι εσύ με ποιον συμφωνείς;

Εντάξει, μια πλάκα κάναμε. Πάντως οι Forbidden έχουν πιο φανατισμένο κοινό σε σύγκριση με V.R. άρα ελπίζω να μαζέψουν περισσότερο κόσμο (100 άτομα θα ήταν καλά :D )


Για τα άλλα που λέτε, κάπου είχα διαβάσει παλιότερα (νομίζω metal observer) ότι στα δύο πρώτα τους έδιναν περισσότερη βάση στα σόλο παραμελώντας τα λοιπά, ενώ στα τελευταία ασχολήθηκαν κυρίως με riff και μελωδίες. Εξού και οι διαφορές.
Προσωπικά είναι από τις αγαπημένες μου μπάντες και μακάρι να έρθουν. Αυτά.

Forbidden Evil, Twisted Into Form απλά γαμούν.

Ο Rob Flynn έχει γράψει 2 από τα κλασσικότερα κομμάτια τους: Chalice o Blood Και Forbidden EVil

Μάλιστα στο τελευταίο Machine HEad έχει περάσει και ένα riff από το τελευταίο....














.....και εννοείται ότι τα 2 πρώτα Forbidden πατάνε το τελευταίο Machine Head!!! Απλά έπρεπε να περάσουν 20 χρόνια για καταλάβουν μερικοί!!!

Αυτό κύριε verdict ακούγεται ειρωνικό.

Anyway εγώ δεν είπα ποτέ ότι έχουν πιο πολλούς fans. Είπα ότι έχουν πιο φανατισμένο κοινό. Λίγοι μεν, πωρωμένοι δε. Αν συζητήσετε μαζί τους θα καταλάβετε.

Α, και το μόνο που έχω δηλώσει είναι ότι δεν είμαι μεταλλού. Ακούω καθαρά από hobby. :P

[eleventh guardian]

Όλοι από χόμπι ακούμε. Και από χόμπι μαζεύουμε δίσκους κ.λπ. Δεν το είπε το "μεταλλού" ως τρόπο ζωής ο verdict (γιατί δεν είναι τρόπος ζωής το metal, είδος μουσικής είναι όπως όλα τα άλλα είδη -αλλά ανοίγει άλλη κουβέντα τώρα και βγαίνουμε off topic).

[Vic]

Κοιτάξτε, και μένα μου αρέσει το Grin αλλά δεν θα πω ποτέ ότι είναι καλύτερο από το Mental Vortex και φυσικά δεν θα προτείνω σε κανέναν να πάει να αγοράσει το Grin πρώτα.

Για τους Forbidden είναι ακόμα πιο απλά τα πράγματα.

Είπα και ελάλησα και με υποστηρίζει και ο Βέρντικτ που ξέρει πολύ θρας μπάλα.

Φέιθ, νομίζω σου έκανε κομπλιμέντο.

[FaithFails]

Τότε :pink:


Και κλείνοντας να πω ότι τέτοιου είδους μπάντες όπως οι Forbidden γράφουν ιστορία και είναι κρίμα να σπλιτάρουν και να αδρανούν. Προσωπικά ακούω όλα τα cd τους χωρίς να βαριέμαι (καθένα έχει τη δική του τεχνική) και θέλω να τους δω live. Αυτά.

Για όσους ενδιαφέρονται:


Hey All,

Time for a quick news bit about what's upcoming. We're going to be laying down some tracks on a couple of new Forbidden tunes next week with Tim Narducci co-producing it with the band. We've been working on a gang of new material for a few months and we wanted to get the first taste out as soon as we could find the time. It's important for us to let our fans (who may be the most patient in the world!) in on what we've been at this whole time. We can tell you only this much....it's KILLER! Tim's going to do a great job of capturing our new energy and we're stoked as Hell!

It's been great working with the other guys this closely again. There is still so much more work to be done! The thing we all realize is, it's best to take our time and not rush the stuff. That would be a dis-service to the ones who have been waiting. It's funny, so many opinions are thrown at us weekly about what the material 'should' sound like. The fact is- it's taking on a life of it's own. We can never really go in the Way Back Machine and sound just like the kids that recorded Forbidden Evil. As cool as that record was, we would be regressing a bit to do such a thing. This stuff is more in the vein as Twisted Into Form with our experiences over the last 20 years wrapped into it. Heavy, Melodic, Thrashy, Technical , Forbidden!!! It's a blast.

I can also tell you that Mark and Steve are doing fantastic work. Most of the material was written like the old Forbidden. Started with Guitar and Drums with skeleton arrangements. Mark has done nothing but impress me with his ideas and input. He's got a lot to offer and he knows that he needs to deliver. Those are still mighty big shoes to fill with Paul and Steve playing on the previous albums.

Steve Smyth has been great to work with as well! As a few of you may know, Steve lives in London but comes back to the Bay often. He was here last month. But I think Forbidden can get a endorsement from Skype, because Steve and I have been working on it so much since he's gone home. You get a ton done for free with no gas money spent! We go through all the details and it's easy. Especially when there is a great chemistry within our communication. I think all of the guitar geeks(like us) are going to be blown the fuck away! We have some cool sh1t in store for you.

Last thing here...Mark and I are recording with Hank Shermann's Demonica starting this week. That stuff is so F'n cool! Hanks been working hard on it for a while and now we're going to lay down the Drums and Solo's here in Livermore. With Tim and Brad Barth from SpiralArms engineering it. Then we send it back to Hank and he'll put the finishing touches on it, then Dave Otero will mix it. Should be finished sometime in early May. Keep your eye out for the Demonica. It's some ripping old school thrash written by Hank himself. We're all honored just to be asked to be a part of it. How cool is that?
