October 30, 2015, 8 years ago
Former Hades guitarist Dan Lorenzo recently spoke with current Generation Kill vocalist Rob Dukes for Painful Pleasures. Dukes, who most notably sang with Exodus, has also been writing and recording with Darryl McDaniels from RUN-DMC. An excerpt from the interview follows:
Q: Were you the one who arranged for Bob Tyrrell to jam with Exodus?
A: “When Bob jammed with Exodus, it was all my doing. Those guys were actually not happy about it. They thought the fans wouldn't like it if Bob was up there with us. I thought the band took themselves way too seriously. It was fun as hell to bring up a friend to play with us. Bob told me it was one of the highlights of his life... and that's awesome.”
Q: Now that some time has passed, any new thoughts on your dismissal from Exodus?
A: “Fuck those douchebags. I never have to talk to them again... or their managers, and that's such a good thing. It's like I cut a cancer out of my life.”
