Shotgun Messiah

[Ghost Wind]

I just discovered this glam/hair band/hard rock a couple days ago. This song just kicks all kinds of ss. Wicked guitar work and very catchy! One of those type of tunes you just want to crank! Any fans of these guys?

Oh man, I remember them from like 20 years ago... for a hair band, they were not terrible.

 

[Imajica]

They were a decent band back in the day. I might have to go dig out their CD's and give them another listen.

Their debut s/t album is fantastic, then Zinny Zan left. Tim Skold took over vocals for the 2nd album Second Coming. This album was ok, but nothing close to the debut. Violent New Breed was more an industrial rock album, my least favorite by the band.

Dead on....My feelings exactly.....Debut kicked ass with a punky/metal attitude, but I really didn't care for the rest.

I actually really liked second coming, even more than their 1st.

Yup. The guitar playing on all the albums is pretty solid too.

Allow me to be the voice of dissension! "Violent New Breed" rocked.

 

[Sir Exar Kun]

Great band..... Loved the first two albums..... VNB..... Not so much.

Violent New Breed is in my top ten of all time albums. It still holds up today. The first two were good. VNB is great.

You tell 'em.

Divebomb Records will be reissuing the first two SHOTGUN MESSIAH albums in April. \m/

Me likey.

 

[MetalAges]

The Explorer from the debut is one of my favorite instrumental tunes, killer song.

 

[MYSTIC1]

The debut had its moments but it was inconsistent. Second Coming kicked ass. Violent New Breed sucked.

Agreed. Cody is killer guitarist.

Man...there is some SERIOUS AquaNet worship going on there.

 

[Logan5]

Awesome band, love 'em! All three albums are great, but Second Coming is definitely my favorite - a perfect sleazy trashy glam metal masterpiece for sure.

If you like the first album check out Zan Clan, the singers later band, they are pretty close to the s/t in style.

 

[The Surfing Alien]

I think the guitarist also played some brilliant stuff on Stu Hamm's second solo album.

 

[TribunalRecords]

Did somebody say something about their hair? This is the original version of the album before it was later re-released when they moved to LA and changed their name.
