- Enjoyed his work on Onslaught's In Search of Sanity. Very underrated record IMO.
Yea, I picked up that disc not long ago. Good stuff. That was the only Onslaught disc he did vocals for correct? Yes. | |

| One of the best vocalists EVER!! He could have fit in any band. Grim Reaper is still by far his best, but I am a Grim Reaper freak so I guess my vote don't really count. haha
The reason Beavis and Butthead didn't like Grim Reaper is because they liked ga-hey modern crap like Pantera, Metallica, and tons more ga-hey crap at the time the show was aired. | |

Yea, that and the fact that Steve looked hilariously silly with his sausage body squeezed into that spandex outfit in the "See You In Hell" video probably didn't help either... _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

I never said I didn't like Grim Reaper... but let's face it, Steve G. should've re-considered his stagewear decisions from the git-go. _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

Yea, I like Grim Reaper and thought Steve did a great job in Onslaught. And I'm sure we've all made some questionable wardrobe decisions in our past. But a fat man in spandex is just too easy a target to resist. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

- The only one that sounds like he might have had a legit chance was the Sabbath gig. He had an in with a member that actually asked him to audition.
With Priest & Maiden, it just sounds like he and a thousand other singers sent demos with their fingers crossed. That equates to a slow news day @ Classic Rock Magazine | |

Yeah, Grim Reaper weren't particularly the coolest looking metal guys around, but hey they played some of the best metal there is. Plus, at least Beavis and Butthead headbanged to Death's "Philosopher" video. But I really didn't like how they'd trash on Accept...like who would do that?! | |

| Oh man, you're right! I just saw the video again, it was still pretty funny though. But man I lost a bit of respect for Beavis and Butthead.
Anyways, is Steve Grimmett in a band currently? | |

Steve also occasionally does festival gigs with a "new" Grim Reaper lineup in which he's the only original member. _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"
