Shotgun Messiah

[mrlee]

Hey, anyone like this group?? i like them from there 2nd album onwards, they have a different singer then, got a heavier sound. The bassist from them is the one in marilyn manson now. They seem a pretty good group.

Shotgun Messiah? What a name.

It's funny how Tim Skrowed (sp?) went from being a total hair-metal DLR-type dude to MANSON!!!

i know its crazy, i think its cause his solo carreer was industrial music.

Shotgun Messiah's second CD "Second Coming" is one of the greatest CDS I have ever listened to.

This CD was amazing

too bad their follow up was a crazy dark metal sounding "Violent New Breed" which is a cool song but the album was totally different.

I thought Tim Skold was the vocalist?

I saw one of their videos on VH1 Classic and I thought they were terrible.  That's just one song though.

He was 2nd album onwards, first album he played bass, someone else sang.

How awesome is that song, at first the singer sounds a bit drunk but then his singing clears up a bit, i love the chorus on that song, and the solo owns.

You can tell its the 90s era shotgun messiah....the hair cuts, those shirts everyone wore, even gnr.

Too bad their albums are out-of-print. 

If Skold doesn't work out, maybe Manson will hook-up with the guy from Spread Eagle!

i found the second and first on ebay and im a proud owner, need the debut now. i think my dad has it on tape, from when it came out, but tapes sucks ass.

i have them all in mp3 though so im not losing out majorly.

the songs i've heard from Violent New Breed are awesome. i'll probably try to get the CD used off amazon.

I owned "Second Coming" as well.  I remember liking "Ride the Storm," but it's about the only song I can remember from that CD...

Nope.  I sold it back - probably for a few bucks - in what I call "The Great Purge of '94."  Sigh.

A bit.      Honestly, though, I'd regret it more if I could remember more of the album.  Like I said, other than "ride the storm," it's a blank slate for me.   Perhaps I'll get a hold of another copy sometime (if so, I'll gladly share via IM)...

Zinny Zan from Zan Clan  was the singer on the first Shotgun Messiah album.     Tim Skold was thwe bass player and became the singer on Second Coming and Violent New breed. 

   I love all 3 of their albums and the EP  they put out all great stuff. 


   I wish I knew where the guitar player Harry Cody was nowdays he could really tear it up.
