I saw this lineup open for Anthrax in '87 and they were easily one of the best & tightest live bands I have ever seen.
Anyone catching this reunion is lucky.
Hell, wish I could see them & Anthrax together. That would be one ASS-KICKIN' reunion show!

down to Seattle's white-trash neighbor Tacoma. Tacoma's way more metal than Seattle anyway.

Can someone explain why metal bands tour Mexico and Japan? Have you ever seen an Hispanic or Asian kid over here listen to metal?
Maybe their home-land folk are just better educated? haha

I don't get why they don't tour the states more but I was lucky enough to see them at the Louder, Harder, Faster Festival a few weeks ago - they kicked ass (despite a sound problem - they had to play through their monitors and stacks).
Honestly, I'd be on the fence about going to see them without Alex. Not that Metal Mike wouldn't be good, I'm sure he is. But Alex made the show when I went - he just smiled and loved every minute of their set. That is what I'd want to see again.
Hopefully a full fledged stateside reunion tour will happen in the near future. Since everyone seems to be remenissant - I first saw them in 1990 with Atrophy and Coroner.
