There was some kind of wierd Japanese compilation that I think had a High Llamas song on it. I don't even know if it was us, or the other High Llamas, or what it was. I know I didn't get paid for it.

Members gil1 Posted July 29, 2006 Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 Yep, I think It would be early 90. But again, it probably was the Scot HLs. I never could figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NoirAbattoir Posted July 29, 2006 Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 Back in the early 90s a thrash band I was in organized and opened a couple shows for a band called Revenant. Also, we did a number of shows opening for Vital Remains who are still very big in the death/black metal genre. Thank goodness for those Swedish suburbs. Both bands were fairly well known in the scene. I guess that's about it. I don't play metal anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members loofery Posted July 29, 2006 Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 Sorry, I've never heard of ANY of these bands besides a couple that Sonaboy opened for. Now I'm gonna crawl back up in my 70s cave and cry myself to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the name Marc Phillips ring a bell? The name does ring a Bell.(I'm having a brain fart.One of me 2000 of them syndrome.)Not on a personal level..Isn't he a keyboard/song writer/musician kinda guy?? He has played with a few of the groups in different lineups..Right??I recorded often in B-ham at PolyMusic back in the 80's..PLayed Al's crossroads..Has Marc ever played with Mothers Finest or Steve Morse Band or the Dregs???

Members GuitArtMan Posted July 29, 2006 Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 Steppenwolf - January 1981, Monterey Convention Center. I remember I had the flu so bad that I came, did the gig, listened to about one tune of their touring opening band (they sucked) and then went home and crashed.
