Total Insanity: No image of the truth to see

4/23/2013

International metalheads are being led down the garden path if they think they are meeting members of the monster thrash band ONSLAUGHT from the U.K.
There are 4 EX members of Onslaught who are stating unequivically that they are original members of Onslaught on tour. This is false information.
The Sanity Days are just that, nothing more. Not one member of that band is a current or original member of Onslaught.
I can say this without a doubt as I have met the band Onslaught when they toured North America in 2012. Not one member of The Sanity Days band were present at that show!
So this begs the question: WHY LIE ABOUT 2 OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SANITY DAYS CLAIMING TO BE ORIGINAL ONSLAUGHT MEMBERS, and have the other two listed as ex members? This is very misleading, and fans will be think they are hooking up with originating members of Onslaught.
To top off the disrespect that The Sanity Days has shown the band Onslaught and fans is they are charging money for meet and greets.
This aspect does not sit well with current members of Onslaught who do nothing to encourage any kind of money grab. They are the complete opposite of this at shows. I have witnessed the guys chatting, signing autographs, having their pics taken with fans! Not one penny was exchanged for this comaraderie between fans and the band!
I quote Regina of the Onslaught – The Force (Official Fansite) facebook page when it comes to the ex members of Onslaught who are now The Sanity Days:
“Not one member of that band has ever written one note or one word on the In Search of Sanity album, and that they are unsigned and do not have an album of their own, instead they are playing Onslaught songs which they do not have permission to perform.”*
Shame on the 4 members of The Sanity Days for brandishing themselves with the Onslaught name for the sake of ripping off metalheads around the world!

This is obscene. Anybody who has any Onslaught album can see that Grice has played on every album to date. And this guy saying none of these guys were on the North American tour, well thats because the Sanity band member guys played in Onslaught long long before 70% of the current line up ever heard an Onslaught tune. Why is this Gina sticking her $2 worth in on this as well, seems she must be on a string by one of the Onslaught guys!

Seems that the current line up are worried about competition to me.

This is a total lie.. Not only is Steve Grice a founding member (any one with half a brain can see that) If it wasn't for Mr. Grice Onslaught wouldn't of had a ressurection.. Surely Sanity Days is good for both parties? In Search Of Sanity is their biggest selling album to date & if my memory serves me correctly Steve Grice & Steve Grimmett (members of Sanity Days) actually performed on the album

The current line-up of CONslaught has 1 original member.. & Sanity days has .... How many? So whose getting conned?

Regina needs to stop listening to a certain Mr. Rockett..

It's all just a case of very sour grapes from the current touring band of CONslaught..

Has anyone actually seen any of the current advertisments for Sanity Days containing any reference to their former band as there's no mention on the picture used here...

ISOS contained 2 cover versions (Let There Be Rock (AC/DC) & Confused (Angel Witch))

It's a shame there is this animosity between two great bands after an acrimonious split , but this report is 100 false and anyone who reads it and knows even the slightest info on onslaught / Grice / grimmet / Jordan / Stallard is plain the thing these guys have in common is the fact they were at one time in the line up for onslaught , Steve Grice and Nige Rockett were onslaught . Fact . It's a shame some one feels the need to try and sully another persons reputation

Totally disgusted by this! To see an unsigned band attempt to rip off fans in this way is obscene. I have sent the link to my friends in South America, thank you Metal Master Kingdom for alerting people to this charade.

Or maybe Rockett because nobody else is interested in your jealous thoughts and lies.

It beds the question who's ripping off the public. Onslaught are charging people hard earned money to see one original member and 4 people I've never heard of play. I have a real problem with somebody hell bent on cad mouthing another person or people in public. Shame on you Mr Rockett as I seem your personal post recently digging at Gricers new band. You forced him out and now your still sticking your nose in his life

All I can say is why has some sad bastardo written this. It's insulting and disrespectful in itself. Very contradicting and sour.
