RANDY DIDN'T PLAY "THRASH" PER SE, BUT THIS "THRASHBACK THURSDAY" REMAINS A DEDICATION REGARDLESS.

PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight, the largest photo-dump I've ever compiled on Tumblr, in fact, of the heavy metal/hardcore punk/metal punk messiah, Randy Uchida (1961-2001), guitarist & occasional graphic artist for the Tokyo-based extreme music band G.I.S.M.

Anyway, I've been sitting on most of these for too long now, and, sure, I shamelessly snagged one or two of these from previous posts of mine for good measure, but I'm just finally glad I can delete them once and for all from my device. They can all live on forever through Tumblr now! For Randy!

A ROSE FOR THE ROSE-TINTED METAL-PUNK GLASSES OF THE PAST -- WELCOME TO 1984.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Kelvin "Cal" Morris of DISCHARGE during his heavy metal/hard rock vocalist transitory phase, on the cover of Japan's "D O L L" magazine issue #20, c. 1984,🌹plus shots of late, great guitarist Randy Uchida of G.I.S.M., and his short-lived glam/heavy metal side project RANDY UCHIDA GROUP [R.U.G.].

!⚠️!⚠! The following is some pretty revelatory stuff, and even I was unaware of such a tour having been conceived, let alone arranged!:

"This issue [#20] contains an interview with Randy Uchida, the guitarist of R.U.G, according to the interview, G.I.S.M. was supposed to support DISCHARGE in a Japanese tour in ’85 which G.I.S.M. was forced to abort due to the disband of the group. I’ve heard about the tour as a rumor, but didn’t know that the tour had been actually arranged."
