Chuck did not want to make the trip to the UK so Bill Andrews and Terry Butler got Walt to play guitar and Louie sang. They were awful. I think it is only Walter who is in the reformed Devastation line up.
saw that tour in birmingham and i thought they were pretty damn good actually!!!
Whatever floats yer boat. I went to see Death not a Death covers band.
I remember I went along to the record signing at the Pear Tree beer garden in Edinburgh that day. No one knew the problems that had occurred and everyone was pretty gutted that Chuck and Millie didn't show up for the signing. Even bigger shock at the gig later on when Chuck wasn't there. I have my signed Leprosy vinyl and Spiritual Healing tape. Totally useless cos they have Louie's fooking signature on them.
what you also have to remember is that these guys came in to save the day, not just the for the fans, but for the band themselves, as they were contractually obliged to make these shows, and as was his way, chuck threw a wobbly and was his usual mardy cunt self, not giving a shit about the fans or his long term friends. You all like to kiss his arse here (as do i when discussing early death / mantas) but it is well documented that he was a proper arsehole!!!
i mean, it was still actually death as was the line up then, just without chuck.
It wasnt as if he was ill, or unable to do it.
