Nice. Saw them about 2 years ago. Steve still has a great voice and is a very friendly dude.
Great NWOBHM band. Thanks for posting this article, Dana. Their song “See You In Hell” was one of the first “obscure” NWOBHM videos I remember seeing, and I thought it was pretty cool considering Grim Reaper was not, and is not, a household name.
Even though today’s Grim Reaper is different than the “classic” band, I wish Steve Grimmett the best with this lineup, especially since he overcame his partial leg amputation from infection. Horns up, Steve! \m/
I have See You In Hell on vinyl, played it twice, and then it went back on the shelf. I probably have in a box somewhere with the rest of my records.
