Bobby Gustafson and Bobby Blitz (Overkill) on Headbangers Ball (1989)

[@alkohallick2901]

Miss Bobby Gustafson!!!

[@ricwood7976]

I’ll always wonder how the next Overkill album would have sounded like if Gustafson stayed. I love Horrorscope, but Bobby G’s riffs were some of the best in thrash history.

[@Yeomannn]

Riffs on horrorscope are some of the best they ever did

[@METALHEAD550]

@@METALHEAD550yeah I wasn’t the biggest fan of that album, few good songs

[@Almeida5]

Just listened to a recent interview with Bobby and he sort of complimented that album, based off the fact that Rob Cannavino is a buddy and that clearly Terry Date was going for the same guitar tone that the band had from The Years of Decay. That's why I don't feel there's a huge drop off in the Overkill sound. Even though I own all of their albums, the best years were with Bobby.

TYOD - one of the top 5 metal albums of all time.

[@wightangel]

The two Bobbies, made a great team. Bobby Gustafson guitar playing was so damn awesome on all the albums it was such a painful thing for a fan of that time to lose a key member so early in their career due to band member differences.

[@georgealcoba3514]

Agreed

[@ilyalead4blade897]

one of the few metal bands that never were sell-outs

[@donaldboggs4069]

Remember I hear black?

[@phyog4662]

apparently playing like sabbath is "selling out" to you

[@kornelijekovac9793]

@@donaldboggs4069 IHB is one of their best materials. If it was remixed it would be the their top album.

[@andreask3218]

Interesting: So Blitz's signature Joe-Pesci-like talking voice seems to have developed later on.

Remember seeing this guys at The Ritz in NYC back in late 80's.

What a great team they were. \m/

[@DrixxelSoft]

For sure. Gustafson's guitar work was awesome, the sound and songwriting on TYOD was the band's best ever IMO

[@RedFlyRuledByTheRiff]

@@DrixxelSoft That album is perfect. Still one of the all time greats! \m/

"Mini-tour up until Christmas" - Bobby G. Unfortunately those were his last shows with Overkill if that was't for that stupid Christmas show DD wanted to do.

[@jfk-od2wy]

Feel the Fire (1st Lp ‘85) is a masterpiece. Bobby G. Rules.

[@user-ot3hq8yk1d]

Bobby Gustafson is the best and dwarfs are jealous

[@SeanSigurgeirson]

Dice!

[@danielagado1731]

Bobby Gustafson is overkill the rest of the band we're just a load to Gustafson

Preferred the first albums but years of decay wasn't too bad didn't like the production as much.

[@arieljones4595]

Agreed.

[@Kalsarikannit72]

Production was killer on it. Look into the history of it. Terry Date. Pantera. Just to name a couple.

[@arieljones4595]

@Pizzamonster The power in black EP was really rough. Feel the Fire and Taking Over both still were gritty (FTF more so) but definitely sounded more professional. Then again, Under the Influence, took another step to having a cleaner sound. All in, it's just opinion, but I feel like Taking Over has the best blend of raw grit and timeless powerful guitar riffs. Some Bobby's chords sound like he's ripping on a chainsaw. Fuck yeah.

[@toneman8478]

The production is amazing on Years of Decay
