Former Exodus and current Generation Kill vocalist Rob Dukes was interviewed on the The Opie And Jim Norton Show yesterday (November 5). Dukes talked about his split with Exodus:

“It ran its course and you know…they ended really shitty. I had been touring with them for 10 years and they had gotten new management and I could slowly feel the edge slipping away. You know how you always look back at shit and you’re like ‘Oh, I should have just quit’ but I was unhappy. I didn’t like the new music they were writing. I thought it was shit and I voiced my opinion and it turned everyone against me and that was it.”

Dukes continued to say “I just uh…just no passion in it. It was just regurgitated shit that they…we had just done and done over and over again and there was no life to it. I just kinda started to separate from it and I was getting married, I was moving, I had a ton of shit going on and they had fired me on my honeymoon, like three days after my wedding. I’ve never heard from any of them and it just kinda left me angry, but I’m over it now and doing way better than I ever had.”

Legendary hip hop icon Darryl ''DMC'' McDaniels, teams up with Generation Kill, to record a full-length album. 

Generation Kill, which features former Exodus frontman, Rob Dukes, crossed paths with DMC on the road and gave him the latest Generation Kill CD, We're All Gonna Die, and the rest is history. Darryl contacted the band immediately after listing to the album, and asked if they would collaborate on a song, which very quickly turned into recording a full-length album. When thoughts of a producer were being thrown around, Ron ''Bumblefoot'' Thal, was someone who was in the bands sights, and as of January 2, Ron has been working with the band. A second short video capturing early pre-production, and behind the scenes footage has been released by the band and can be viewed at this location. A release date for the album has not been set as of yet.
