November 19, 2012   JamesD   1 Comment

I love it when magazines always ask artists or bands things like what influenced you, or what music do you recommend. It gives people a chance to get really personal and shed light on what makes them fans and what makes them tick. After listening to the Def Con One record, I knew that this band could be a very big deal very soon for music, as will you when you listen to what they have to offer.

1. Pantera – The Great Southern Trendkill

Anttons top 10

Van Halen- 1

Pantera- Far Beyond Driven
Slipknot-Iowa
Shotgun Messiah- Violent New Breed
Fight-War of words.
Racer X-Second Heat
Motley Crue-Motley Crue

Another mention of Shotgun Messiah Violent New Breed, you cannot go wrong with that. I may need to email Relativity Records and see if they are going to get that deluxe version out for the 20 year anniversary next year. Tim Skold would be proud…Seek out Def Con One’s amazing new cd, at fine music outlets everywhere and also Violent New Breed from Shotgun Messiah, and maybe Gino Vanelli? Who knows…in case you did not know he had a small hit in the 80’s called Living Inside Myself.
