Scott Ian claimed for years that Neil fired Lilker for being too tall, and that they should never have given Neil so much power. But it's been rebutted for years and most suggest Scott had more of a hand in it that he wants to admit so as not to ruin whatever friendship he had with Lilker who wrote/co wrote most of their songs back then. NP: Sodom - In The Sign of Evil

There's a lot of fat, old and ugly men in metal now. There is also bean poles out there. Picture of Lilker back in Anthrax for a few shows. The dude is 59 and tower over his short arse band mates but he's not fat. I don't have instagram so I don't know if links work, but here's the link to a blabbermouth article with the instagram pic posted at the bottom. https://blabbermouth.net/news/anthrax-shares-first-new-photo-with-original-bassist-dan-lilker

Lawnmower Deth is just thrash/crossover. Probably not worlds different from all the other 80's crossover bands just they came from the UK where humour is a little different. They had silly names, sung about silly topics, did a cover of Kim Wilde's Kid's In America which was weird for a band growing up in the UK and no longer kids. They weren't particularly great at anything they did but they had fun. The reformed a few years back (even had Kim Wilde sing with them in 2015), but fat, balding, 40+ year olds (now probably 50+) don't seem to have the same amount of fun. NP: BAT - Wings Of Chains

New Bat album coming May 17 too.

Hey look, it's a new single for Kerry King. I bet everyone's excited for this!!

Lawnmower Deth were joke band in the same way DRI, MOD, or any of those guys were. They fucked around on stage they never took themselves seriously and they played to whoever would listen. NP: Fatal Collapse - Fatal Collapse

I now have a solar powered computer. Technically now if I listen to music it's carbon neutral metal! (yes like all green projects I totally ignore how much carbon was used to get to this point and only focus on this moment in time)
