I recently met up with ex-Forbidden drummer Steve Jacobs for a lengthy chat about his time in Forbidden and the short-lived but brilliant Manmade God. Steve's contributions to his bands set the bar for a drummer incredibly high and make for serious inspiration. He has also toured the drums for Testament. Those unfamiliar with his work in the aforementioned bands are HIGHLY encouraged to do so.
Also got to speak with Jason VieBrooks, former bassist for Heathen and Grip Inc. Jason was kind enough to help out with the coordination of this meeting as well as offering his thoughts on Forbidden. Thanks a ton, Jason!
Both are currently in the ready-to-break Lorenzo, who is the house band for the MMA Big Show, a "mixed martial arts TV show going into worldwide syndication this fall". They also are bandmates in LOWA, which also includes ex-Morbid Angel vox/bassist Steve Tucker.
Here is a clip of Steve Jacobs playing drums with Stone Temple Pilots:

Welcome / The Endgame
Everyone has something in their life they are very passionate about be it their job, a hobby, or sports to name but a couple. My hobby is music, and a side effect of being so engulfed in it is the discovery of music so pleasing to one's senses that it should be shared with the world and blasted from every rooftop.
But it becomes very frustrating if the world already had its chance and blew it big time. Enter Criminally Underrated.
This project's goal is to put forth a book highlighting albums in case study format as to give the world (on a listener by listener basis) a second chance and perhaps new listening tools for music in general.
Once this project has recouped costs, all profits will be donated to the Sacred Heart Children's Hospital of Pensacola, Florida. Not enough good can be said of these people and the miracles they work on a daily basis.
Exclusive updates will be posted here containing progress reports on Criminally Underrated as well as occasional interview excerpts, random thoughts, and/or blanket requests for anything readers might like to contribute.
