Any Helstar or Destiny's End fans?

Ouch!!

I can't see how anyone likes the Onward guy better than the godly James Rivera. Or as some of us in his hometown call him "Little Mexican Dio."

James has sang for Helstar, Destiny's End, Flotsam and Jetsam (which I saw live, and it was just as good as Flotsam with Eric AK), not to mention the tribute projects he has down here. His Sabbath, Priest, and Maiden tribute shows are legendary here in Texas. And now he's the best thing to ever happen to Seven Witches!

I agree with you Josh. James is way underrated! Got any bootlegs of his stuff with HELSTAR or DE?? Hmmm?

I certainly wasn't trying to be insulting with my statements, I was just stating my personal opinion. Hell, I have talked to people who get annoyed with Dio's voice after four songs, a fact which I find highly offensive! Heh. I will say this, Rivera has a very strong and distinctive voice, and he's an awesome frontman.

Anyway, it's been some time since I pulled out my DE albums. I'll give them another spin today...

I imagine he would kick ass doing F&J material. I'd love to hear that.

No offense taken, bro!Esoecially from a fellow Dio lover, which just happens to be Rivera's most obvious influence.

Yeah, I wish we had recorded the Flotsam gig... James singing Hammerhead was just fucking AWESOME pure and simple.

Do ya'll have The James Rivera Legacy released under the name Helstar?

 

[Pagan's Mind]

No I do not. Is it worthy of putting his name on?

Most definitely! It's the last 4 tracks Helstar recorded with Larry Barragan. Also the 6 tracks from the Vigilante demo, James' project in between Nosferatu and Multiples Of Black.

Excellent sound quality.

Professionally packaged.
