Biohazard - live in New York

 

Some footage of Biohazard's homecoming reunion shows in New York last weekend has appeared on YouTube;

Its cool to see Shades Of Grey, What Makes Us Tick and Chamber Spins Three. And look at Bobby spinnin around just like it was 1995 all over again!! Im bummed I didn't go see them when they were here with Korn a few months ago. I know I promised to go. But I didn't. Korn suck now. And i wasn't paying $100 to see 20 minutes of Biohazard. But after seeing this footage im annoyed that I didn't.

I have seen the band twice - in 1995 when they supported Slayer and again in 1996 when they supported Pantera. Dieter got me into them back in late 94 / early 95. I owe that boy big time for these guys and Suicidal Tendencies. Thanks bro.

Like many of my favourite bands, I've been lucky enough to meet Biohazard a few times.

Evan Seinfeld signed this for me back in 2004. That was an interesting meet n greet I tells you.....

Evan is married to porn actress Tera Patrick. He is also her manager and stars in some of the movies with her. So she came out to Australia for the annual Sexpo trade show. I was working there. Stop laughing. Its a long story. I was there cause my then employer had a contract to provide notebook computers to the mobile telecommunications company Three for their "adult content" services. And as the product manager for the notebook it was my duty to provide assistance at the trade show. For all 4 days. Open to close.

So anyway I was driving along the M4 motorway one day a few weeks before the show and there's this huge billboard announcing Tera Patrick coming to Sexpo. So on the first day of the show I went to the booth she was appearing at to sign stuff and asked the manager of the booth if Evan Seinfeld was with her. He asked me why and I told him I was a big Biohazard fan. Then he was cool and told me yes he was there and that id just missed him, but he'd be back in an hour or so. I hot footed it to the car to get some of my Biohazard CD's (i came prepared) and an hour later im in a line up to meet Tera. There were all these creepy dudes in trenchcoats and guys with huge piles of photos, posters, DVDs and videos for her to sign. Me??? I had a heap of CD's from her husbands band to sign. I kinda stood out.

So I was next in line and there in front of me is Evan Seinfeld. He's in "playa" mode with handfulls of cash - it was $20 to get your stuff signed and $20 for a photo with Tera. She looked fuckin hot, but I went up to Evan and said im a big fan and is it ok to get some Biohazard stuff signed. Tera looked at me as if to say "um, don't you know who I am??" But they were cool. Evan stopped the line and the three of us were talking Biohazard for about 5 minutes. About the shows here in Sydney, the albums, the videos, all sorts of cool shit. Tera was actually impressed that one of her husbands fans came along to meet him and not her. I remember mentioning that I had seen "some of her work" and she laughed. Ha ha ha.

I asked for a photo and here's the funny part - Evan thought I only wanted Tera and me in the pic. But I wanted both. All these porn freaks in the line are like totally pissed at me by now. They want to go home and get their jerk on already after touching Tera Patrick and there's me air guitaring with Evan to the riff from Punishment. Good times! We get the photo and Tera said to do it again cause it needed to be a good photo - i remember her saying that.

I know look like a mong - there in my corporate issued Benq uniform standing next to a porn star and one of the 90's metal pioneers. But you know what?? every time some fucker laughs at the photo - I show them this below photo:

 

I made it small in case any of you are at work and don't want a photo of a porn star flash up on your screen. But if you click on the photo is gets bigger. It gets viagraized

These photos were another $20 to buy and have it signed. But Tera gave it to me for free cause she said I was cool. That's right bitches - Tera said I was cool.

So by this stage Evan has signed some of my stuff and my impression of Tera is the opposite of what I though a porn star would be. She was funny and knew all her husbands music and was just as cool as Evan. Actually she was cooler. And she has great norks.

This is the Five Blocks To The Subway tour EP from 1995 signed by the whole band. I met them at Waves Nightclub in Wollongong when they were supporting Slayer. Great bunch of guys, signed lots of stuff for us all. But none of us had a camera. Idiots we are.

And heres State Of The World Address signed by Billy & Danny. Unfortunately the mighty Rob Echeverria also signed it. He was in the band at the time when I had the CD signed (1996) but didn't play on the album.

Maybe you're older, wiser in your own right, it's your mistake
I'm gonna do my own thing regardless, my choice to make
I am real, in touch with my feelings, and I know my place
You have shown, on the other hand, both sides of your face
