And don't forget his brother, the lead singer, is a well-respected film and theater actor.



The story of Jason for those who have not seen it.

It omits one detail. He left the Army after his first tour to become a Buddhist monk and lived in a monestary in Nepal at like 10,000 feet altitude. But he felt he wasn't done with the military and re-enlisted, this time going for Special Forces (Green Berets). 9/11 happened right as he was going through SF school.

He can also be seen in the documentary on Lemmy.

Richard Christy, who played drums for Acheron, Iced Earth, Death and Control Denied among other bands. He now works on the Howard Stern. Comedy writer/phone prankster.

The other day Howard talked to him about music on air and said you're such a great drummer , but you played with all of these terrible bands. Howard said something along the lines of now your wasting your talent working for me. Its like the President going to work as a fry cook at McDonalds. (Not the exact wording, but it was along those lines).

Howard went on and on about how he wasted his talent with these death metal bands, never made any money and never got any women. Richard said he was very proud of the music he did and the experiences that he had.

It seems like Howard Stern should know better.

Stern always came off to me as most "rock fans" in media, in that they only know about the very famous bands and only respect and care about such bands.

And actually, Christy also brought his drumming to the Stern show (ca 9:14 in the video):

I agree. I don't think Stern listens to or knows of any bands that aren't mainstream.

During the brief time I had XM radio, I remember catching Richard Christy talking (he must have been guest hosting Liquid Metal or something, I never listened to the Howard Stern channel) about being at some event and realizing his "double life" so to speak was eventually going to get him in some sort of ridiculous trouble. I can't recall most of what he was saying but I very distinctly remember the phrase "Why is the drummer for Charred Walls of the Damned butt-chugging champagne?"

Bobby Gustafson, who played guitar for Over Kill, wandered around in different bands and his stint with Over Kill. He left the music business and I believe he is now a plumber. He looks like some regular bloke off of the street now http://noisecreep.com/life-after-the-pit-former-overkill-guitarist-bobby-gustafson/

Pat Linde (ex-Morbid Saint) after the band first disbanded, went on to become a Zookeeper, or so i heard.
