Toxik

[Narcosynthesys68]

So what does everyone think about this band? I have always loved this band... They basically rip my balls off at every listen!

Hawk, you have to have some sorta "Old School" story about this band?!?!?!

I would love to see some video of these guys live!

Toxik were amazing! The vocals, song writing, guitar work, you name it. Both their albums should belong in any metal fan's collection. If you missed them when they were released, they are about to receive a re-release soon.

Yeah, "World Circus" is a kick-ass album. I saw them live at the Dynamo Open Air festival 1988 togeter with Laaz Rockit, Sabbat, Candlemass and Exodus.. Guess Hawk must have been there too !! I thought they were the best band of that festival... "Social Overload" is one of my top ten metal songs of all times !!

oh my god, when googling I found there's a full video of this 1988 gig online !!!!!

WOW!!!!

 

[carnut]

I never saw this google video thing...if you can upload full concerts it's more interesting than Youtube !!! Pretty amazing to see this again for me ........ goosebumps !!

 

[OldScratch]

Wow, holy flashback! I haven't thought of these guys in ages! I used to know Josh and the drummer casually and worked with second album guitarist John Donnely for several years(we were stagehands!). He was fantastic guy - I've wondered whatever happened to him? Wow...I'm still trying to mop out the cobwebs and recall some of the old NY metal years...too much partying - everything is a bit foggy looking back. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!!

I (my band) opened for them on 1/6/90 at a small club in Rockland County, NY. They used to pull off a lot of jaw-dropping stuff live.......

 

[Break Zero]

Easily one of my top 10 favorite bands. "Think This" is one of my favorite albums EVAR!

I would kill for these guys to reunite. Josh Christian said probably not, but they should at least do some hometown gigs (sinces that would pretty much be my area) for ol' time sakes.

 

[Wyvern]

I have two albums downloaded but haven't check them throughly yet (so much music, so little time).

 

[Hawk]

Of course I was there carnut! Yea man, Toxic was the shit! I have both albums on vinyl and I will never sell them. Great band.

Saw them once in the Dynamo pub, a very small place, and Dynamo open air of course.

Do I think they were the best band on the bill of DOA that year? I don't know. Sabbath were damn good. Laaz Rockit never failed to impress me in those days.

I missed Exodus that years because I had to play some metal in a very big pub that could hold about 700 people right after the festival.

Talking about Exodus, WE ARE GOING TO SEE THEM TOMORROW!!

I am so excited. I love the new lineup! Its going to crush!

Living in Eindhoven again FUCKING RULES!
