Boom and the Legion of Doom

In early spring of 1987 I was approached buy Smelly Mustafa one of the founding members of B.L.O.D. to join the band - Founding member Stony Fish had quit or was kicked out , I don't know .....- I had seen them a ton of times playing shows with them as a roadie or just hanging out and always enjoyed watching them ruining other peoples good time -the meat shows were always the funniest- stepping into this band seemed to me a natural fit at the time - I was a fan and a friend - not long after I joined the band another founding member singer Toxic Matt-itude just for whatever reason stoped coming around - I remember leaving for a short tour and he didn't show up so we left without him , setting up a stage for Boom to sing in Kent Ohio while we did a show with his band N.J.Oi - We headed back home after we finished off the small tour with Fang and the band parted ways for a short time - I went to Cali. with Smelly in the early fall of 1988 stayed at the a Madona Inn met some members of my some of my favorite bands had a great time but being only 18 years old I was home sick. I headed back to Michigan. The band then reformed in Cali. with a new lineup with members of Verbal Abuse Fang and Hell's Kitchen and continued to piss people off - I have been asked to join the band again this year (2008) for a reunion show - that will happen @ Thee Parkside - BOOM FEST - in San Fransisco Sep. 27 - I will do my Best to be there
