Spine of God

I remember seeing MONSTER MAGNET at the State Theater in Detroit, Michigan sometime around 1991.

Whether or not you liked his two albums with JUDAS PRIEST, or got your metal panties in a bunch over his replacement of Matthew Barlow in ICED EARTH, it can't be denied that Tim "Ripper" Owens is one of the best vocalists we have in our midst today. Christ, he could make the bad songs ...
