Meade is a musician who has been a SF staple for decades. We met as neighbors in the Hayes District. San Fransisco in the mid 8. Back then if you looked different, or. Erik sort of became my. Bay area.   I moved back East  in 1. I randomly ran into Erik. It was crazy, and was weirdly emotional for. I felt like I needed to tell him that he had influenced my entire. Watch The Stoned Age Mediafire' title='Watch The Stoned Age Mediafire' />I ended up sending him everything I played on, and records Id released over the years. At any rate Erik has a. One of those bands was the. Florida death metal band Death. Watch I Saw The Devil Online (2017)'>Watch I Saw The Devil Online (2017). Death along with Possessed pretty much. I thought it would be cool to pick. Eriks brain about his short time in the band. In my opinion he played on the best  demo by this Legendary metal act. Nate You were one of the most open minded people Id met in. San Francisco scene. You and your ex girlfriend Janis turned. It was the. punkhardcore stuff that resonated with me. I still to this day have a. East coast hardcore bands on it 7. Uncertain, Bad Brains, SSD, Sacred Denial, Beastie Boys ep, etc. You. played bass in Death in 1. I am trying to figure out the timeline. You were taking. me to early meetings at Gilman Street as it was just being constructed. Tim Yo who disliked me because I was metal dude, and. Short Dogs Grow, and. Rhythm Pigs folks. Was this all taking place during the days you were in. Death, or after it  How the hell did I miss this Erik I would think it was during the period I was in Death. I wouldnt have mentioned it. It was. I left, and I might not have mentioned it because. LOL.  Im sure I knew, but  probably acted unimpressed because I was one of those metal dudes who was transforming into. I was rebelling against my metal roots. Im WAY more. Haha. Did your days playing in Death end your playing in. Erik Yeah, I just played in punk and rock bands after that, as a guitarist, not a bass player. How did you end up meeting Chuck and joining Death  What made him relocate from Florida to the Bay Area in 8. Erik Eric Brecht was playing metal with some guys in Oakland. I had joined the group, I think as the singer. That project. quickly fell apart, but a few weeks later Eric got a call from Chuck. Eric was really excited about it, so when. Chuck asked him if he knew any bass players, Eric asked me if I played. I didnt really play bass much. I was a guitar player, but I said. I then created a really ridiculous. Roland  guitar amp thru a 4. Sunn Power amp. into a 41. It was an odd combo, but it worked. Chuck. flew out a few weeks later and started staying at Erics place, and then. Amber who hung out in the scene. She drove him around. I assume he. moved here because the bay area had become the home of thrash metal. How long did your time in the band last  Why did it end  Did Chuck. Death in the Bay Area after you guys were out, or did he. Florida Erik We were only in the band for about six months and a few. Chuck and he left. He just stormed out. I think he went back to Florida. SF, but Im not 1. Did Eric Brecht quit DRI to Join Death  I recall seeing DRI at the Rock On. Broadway once in 1. Eric approached his brother Kurt after the. Death.   Kurt was totally supportive of everything Eric was telling him. It was a cool conversation that I dropped in on. Erik No, as I said, Eric had already left DRI when Chuck had. As for Kurt, as soon as we started rehearsing we got a call. Kurt, who was in Chicago touring with DRI. He said Youll never. Its a tape of you guys rehearsing. Watch Stalker Online Freeform. It turned out that Chuck had taped our rehearsals, and then. It was at that moment that I. That was why Chuck already had a fan base in SF. How old were you guys at the time Erik I would have been 2. Chuck was 1. 8 and I dont know how old Eric was, but probably 1. Did you help in any of the song writing at all, or did Chuck. Bay Area with all the songs that you were going to play. Erik We worked on creating some of the songs that were on the. Death LP although over the years Ive become a bit hazy about. Chucks ideas. We may have had a hand. I bought the first LP when it came. I assume that was because he. Florida and Mantis to contend. He may have claimed ownership on later pressings. I dont. care.   It was clearly his ideas. Did you play on any of the demos or rehearsals that have been released through out the years Erik. Yes. Im on the Back From the Dead demo which was the tape that Kurt Brecht. Chicago. Scott Carlson gave. Ruthies Inn shows that is a much. Back from the Dead which was recorded on a. Ive thought about trying to have an engineer clean up the. Ruthies tape and boost up the guitar tones if possible. How many live gigs did you play with Death  Where were they  Most in Bay Area I assume  Erik As far as I can remember we only played three or four gigs. All but one of them at Ruthies Inn in Berkley. The other one was at. Watch Mythica: A Quest For Heroes Online more. Farm in SF with Mordred and the Rhythm Pigs. I think I recall that you guys used to practice at Turk Street Studios in SFErik I honestly dont remember where we rehearsed initially. It. might have been Turk. But near the end we were rehearsing at a studio out by Potrero hill owned by Franco from MDC. What was the reaction to the band by other local metal bands in the Bay Area. Did they accept Chucks move to the area  Did they welcome the band  I recall much competition. Bands sort of competing to get. Was Death involved in this crap Erik I wasnt really that familiar with the East bay metal scene. I was part of the punk scene in SF, and was only occasionally. But the first time we played Ruthies I. You. see, I had never heard of Death before Eric Brecht asked me if Id want. I thought they were just a band with a few home made. Death were from Florida so I figured nobody in the bay area. I didnt realize that within the metal scene tape. So at our first show there were actually people with our band. I also remember that the opening act at our first show. Oakland band called Black Death who sounded an awful lot like us. It was an nice surprise for. I think we either played with Sacrilege BC, or at least they were at. I became friends with those guys thru Death, and. Dave Edwardson of Sacrilege and Violent Coercion started. Neurosis.   He and Scott Kelly asked me to be part of it. I lasted about. I guess they decided I wasnt on the same page. When I. finally called Scott he said Oh, we decided we just want to be a three. I said, Ok, well then, Im gonna come over and pick up my. Scott said Oh, thats another thing. Only last year Scott commented to me. Facebook, By the way, I still havent forgotten that I owe you an. But you will always be OG Neurosis. I thought that was nice. No, I didnt see any backstabbing or catty. Testament loaned. Chuck a Marshall Stack for one of our Ruthies shows, because at that. Chuck had was a Peavey Transistor amp. What was it that Chuck and you guys were listening to at the time that. Death was later known for  This. Erik I have no idea what Chuck was listening to that made him come up. Me and Eric were both into mostly punk, so honestly Chucks. Id been listening to. Eric Brecht was. the kid who invented blast beats when he was in DRI. In fact, that was. Chuck called him in the first place. So I suppose its safe. Chuck had heard DRI. A few of the albums that come to mind. Die Kreuzen records, Dehumanization by Crucifix, and. Animosity by Corrosion of Conformity, which had just come out around the. I joined Death. That one was particularly relevant as me and Janis. Tanaka were hanging out with COC when they toured thru SF that year. Ruth Schwartz for the couple. Chuck, Erik, Eric Brecht at Ruthies 8. Did you or those other guys realize at the time that you were basically. Erik Not me, No. In fact, to be quite honest I didnt get it. I thought I was gonna be joining a band more. Exodus or Slayer, and I thought that Chucks, or to be more precise. Erics, beats were so fast that nobody could mosh or headbang to them. I. I dont like what were doing. Janis would say No, its great. Grossly Over Budget Aurora VA Medical Center Now Has A Name. VA is proud to announce it finally decided the name of the grossly over budget VA medical center located in Aurora, Colorado. The facility, now 1 billion over budget and behind schedule, will be named Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin called Congressman Mike Coffman to announce the name earlier this week. The facility is expected to open sometime next year. Interesting how the name was not selected for so long. Or, is this just a spin to relabel the facility after such shameful overspending By relabeling the facility, the overspending scandal will not readily show up in news searches once the facility is opened. And the name, Aurora VA, and its associated scandals will fade into the past. Source http denver.
