Onslaught, Artillery & Striker

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

Got my ticket. Only wish Steve Grimmett was still singing.

This tour has been cancelled before. i'm not purchasing my ticket until they step foot on US soil.

Now the tour will be cancelled due to poor ticket sales Still, it was only $20.

the album with Grimmett was by FAR their worst (by that I mean the ONLY bad album they ever did)....the only album of theirs I can't listen to. I'm a HUGE Onslaught fan. They are in my top 10 favorite bands of all time

The interesting thing about this tour is that while I like Onslaught alright on disc, it's mainly Artillery and partly Striker that has me interested in this show.

THIS . I love Grim Reaper and I love Onslaught. Onslaught is a thrash band. Grimmett is not a thrash vocalist. I will be at the Brooklyn show for this tour and they will tear it up!

Can vouch for Artillery being AMAZING live. Saw them at MDF 2012 and was super skeptical, but they were really good.

Grimmett rules, but the later Onslaught stuff is awesome. I'll definitely go if this tour does actually happen.

Grimmett is actually in a band with some of the "In Search of Sanity" guys called The Sanity Days.

In a perfect world, In Search of Sanity would replace Onslaught on the upcoming tour

Are you freakin' kidding me?? Saw Onslaught here on their last tour. They were killer. Sy's vocals are incredibly powerful- granted not for the prog/power faithful maybe but he's unique and can even still hit the high pitched wails of the earlier 80's material. Onslaught fuckin" rules!! Saw Grimmett on the latest U.S. outing and while he's still good, he's no longer great imo, not live anyway....

He was great in Montreal. Off stage he was dead tired though and even napped during the opening band's sets. Second best show I've this year after Y&T.

Glad someone agrees with me. I figured I would get massacred here for my opinion. I am a thrashman first and foremost!! Thrash with a dark side even better

I think you mean in a perfect freaking nightmare...:Smokedev:

Well, if one is predisposed to primarily thrash then yep. ISOS elevated Onslaught to a new level. Pity Grimmett quit.

new level?? Oh yeah, they broke up for almost 20 years after that album!!

I STRONGLY disagree with that assessment.

It's definitely the catalog oddball. It's a favorite album of mine, but I never really think of it as Onslaught.

That makes 2 of us. He was excellent at the Montreal show last month.
