Halloween is a metal band from Detroit Michigan that emerged in 1983, first as a band named Bitch, and announced a name change on stage in the midst of a show. The band had already been using the moniker “Detroit’s Heavy Metal Horror Show” and decided to call themselves Halloween. They began as Shock-Rock/Glam Metal band, with all kinds of spooky props and pyrotechnics on stage and outlandish costumes and face paint. Halloween’s sound is a cross between Alice Cooper and Motley Crue but just a tad heavier.
The band released their first album, “Don’t Metal With Evil” in 1985. This album was released on their own label, Motor City Metal.
Band line-up :
Brian Thomas ~ Vocals
Rick Craig ~ Guitars
George Neil ~ Bass
Bill Whyte ~ Drums
This album has some flashy guitar work, devilish drums, and of course, Halloween inspired themes and lyrics for the music.
During one of the band’s shows in 1985, lead vocalist, Brian Thomas, got too close to one of the flame throwers and melted his spandex pants to his legs. He never stopped the show and didn’t seek medical attention until after the show. That is so metal……..eat your heart out Nikki Sixx!
