Forbidden Reunion '08

by **Lev** on Fri Oct 05, 2007 10:53 am

This is it. The original Forbidden line-up will be getting back together for a few shows in 2008! That means Russ Anderson, Craig Locicero, Paul Bostaph, Matt Camacho, and Glen Alvelais- will bring something that so many of their peers, old school fans and especially the younger generation of fans that never got to see Forbidden live have been asking for. A TRUE Forbidden Re-union!!!

Craig Locicero stated , "We want to show everyone what we used to do was as relevant and powerful as anybody else of that era. The gravity of our influence is really dawning on us now and we're very humbled. We owe it in turn back to those who supported our influenced us in the past. We'll be concentrating mostly on Forbidden Evil and Twisted Into Form material to give the people what they want. The time is right and it's gonna be a lot of fun. 2008 will also be the 20th anniversary for the release Forbidden Evil. It'll be VERY HEAVY and we're all excited to get started."

Paul Bostaph said this, "Though out the years I've been asked about Forbidden by many people. Fans and friends alike have been wanting to see us play
live again. I'm very happy to see this become a reality! I've been
honored to play in some great bands. To play with Craig, Glenn, Matt and
Russ(a truly great vocalist) again will be a longtime wish come
true. I hope Forbidden fans get a kick outta this as much as I will!"

Forbidden is looking to book one Bay Area show for late January early February and look into some Festivals in Europe, Japan and Australia starting in late May. These will all be exclusive gigs and there are no plans for a full-on tour, at least not for the near very future. Locicero last says, "We'll put our Blood and Guts into it and give it all we've got! Get ready to have your heads ripped off Motherf*ckers!!!"

Any promoters and booking agents that need to get a hold of the band can reach out to them at, http://www.myspace.com/forbidden__evil for the time being.

Forbidden Evil was good, but I don't have it anymores. I want it again. But this is good news I'm sure. Jamie, try and book them onto a RAGE! night, that'd be hilarious and wonderful.

I will go see them if they stop over here for sure.

Being at a stage in life where I can afford to fly somewhere then hire a posh car, I will be doing the Bay Area shows. If I wasn't at that stage, I would sell my arse down some docks somewhere in order to get there. Golly. The might of Forbidden cannot be underestimated.

In terms of proper metal, I can confirm that only King Diamond are better than Forbidden out of every band ever.

For the record, in terms of all music ever created ever, only Dream Theater are better than the two aforemtioned bands.

some Festivals in Europe

I may drop in.

This needs to stop. It's just getting ridiculous. I'm probably one of the biggest Forbidden fans on here but why reunite now? Mind you, this is probably the last chance the band will get before Russ and Glen are drafted in to some obscure Sumo league in down town Tokyo.

great stuff, i have no problem at all with old bands getting back together because it leads to me to getting to see them live for the first time, which otherwise would never happen. It's not as if these reformed bands are putting on shit performances when they come back, only then would i have a problem with it. I hope forbidden get added to the Wacken 08 lineup.
