Title: Best hardcore/thrash crossover band ever
Post by: Dave Sloven on October 06, 2013, 12:36:16 PM: Okay I love D.R.I. as much as the next guy, but seriously in terms of consistency and sheer amount of killer tunes R.D.P. have to be the best. Check out this video of their 25th anniversary concert back in 2006:

Still going strong after 30 years now ...

If you are wondering how to get that sound from a BKP I found I could get close with an A-Bomb in my SG

Also RDP keep making albums!

If you like DRI check out Pasadena Napalm Division:

I tend to agree. That's another reason why I think RDP is a better crossover band than DRI, because DRI's best stuff is Dealing With It and earlier.

Here's the recent RDP DVD with English subtitles

Would Corrosion of Conformity count? Of Life of Agony?

The tall guitarist is Mitch Dickinson (of Unseen Terror), who was in Heresy at that time
