Death is always a good listen,from their early records,to their later more tech auditory assaults,these videos show the late Chuck Schuldiner just shredding some killer riffs and just doing it for the sake of death metal. R.I.P Brother.
Death-Live 1988
Death-Scream Bloody Gore
and
Death-Symbolic
are two good places to start if you want to get into Death.
(this ended up being a hoax but I find it interesting)
Seen on Orchid Footwear:
"Chuck Biscuits, perhaps my favorite drummer from the 80's (besides Dave Lombardo of course) is being reported dead from throat cancer. It's weird because I heard he was stabbed to death a couple of years ago. We even had an all Danzig day at the office in memorial and I was sad. Now it's being reported that his most recent "death" is most likely a hoax. I really hope this dude is alive. Nobody can backhand the ride cymbal quite like Chuck."
mer Chuck Biscuits, who played with Black Flag and Danzig, has died of throat cancer at the age of 44.
Information is scarce, but an e-mail from a family member confirmed to a music blog that Biscuits succumbed to the disease on October 24th.
"In response to the inquires, thank you for all the support," an anonymous family member wrote in an e-mail sent this morning. "Chuck did not survive his battle with throat cancer. He passed surrounded by his family on 10/24/09."
Biscuits also worked with the Circle Jerks and Run DMC during his career, and is rumored to have been a consideration as a drummer for Nirvana before Dave Grohl was selected.
Now I read this:
D.O.A.'s Joe Keithley confirms Chuck Biscuits' "death" a hoax
By Mike Usinger
Rumours of the demise of Chuck Biscuits have evidently been greatly exaggerated. Earlier today, everyone from AbsolutePunk.net to Entertainment Weekly reported that the former D.O.A. drummer-who left the music business in 1999-has died of throat cancer on October 24 after a long illness.
The "death" was reported by blogger James Greene Jr., who wrote that he had spent the past six months corresponding via e-mail with Biscuits and his wife. In the hours after the story went viral, Greene's website, www.jgtwo.wordpress.com was bombarded with posts demanding proof of the death.
The Straight contacted Biscuit's former bandmate Joey Keithley, singer-guitarist of D.O.A.. He confirmed that Biscuits is very much alive.
In the meantime, Greene has evidently accepted that he was the victim of an elaborate prank. On his Website, he wrote the following after being bashed repeatedly for posting the death notice despite having nothing to go on except for emails from people purporting to be Biscuits and his wife.
Greene wrote: How do you "check hard facts" or "verify" anything about a guy who went off grid ten years ago and the people who allegedly knew him best won't return your e-mails? I tried, you guys, I really fuckin' tried. I spent a good chunk of '08 searching for Chuck and info on Chuck. All I got was Bill Goddamn Stevenson. No one was talking.
"I wrote a thing about Biscuits anyway and then, out the blue, some fucker calling himself by that name who looks like the guy on the record sleeves starts corresponding with me. What the fuck am I supposed to do? Call shenanigans? Whatever happened to trust? Who would lie about being Chuck Biscuits? Especially to a piece of "vermin" like me on the lowest rung of the totem pole?
"Has anyone ever lied to you for six months about being a terminally ill hero of your musical youth? It's fucking weird. You think I wasn't devastated when I read the e-mail the other day that announced his "death?" That's why I wrote this blog in the first place. I wanted to give CB the obit I knew he deserved. I knew there'd be source questions, but what was I supposed to do, e-mail his "wife" back and be like, "Hey, can you send me pics of the body?" I had no suspicions. I thought I had this shit on lock down. Who would lie to a NOBODY blogger about this kind of thing for so long?
"It's easy to attack me in hindsight, but again - this had been going on since May. Who the fuck lies about being a dying Chuck Biscuits for half a year? Are my friends/enemies smart enough to hack enough related e-mail accounts to perpetrate something like this? I just want to know how it happened.
"I'd also like some more conclusive proof that Chuck isn't dead aside from e-mails from people whose existence I can't further verify.
SO THROW THIS SODOM RECORD ON AND THRASH!
Sodom In 1994 blasting "Get What You Deserve".
Pretty much their most extreme album, and their rawest since Obsessed By Cruelty. it's like their album Persecution Mania mixed with Discharge and SOB and old Poison Idea. fast as fuck with tons of d-beats, a few blastbeats and a Venom cover (Angel Dust).
Or Slay Some Bathory-Under The Sign Of The Black Mark
Bathory's now-legendary third album. No description required. Enter the eternal fire!
But don't trip.
