I finally got one of my long sought after hard to find treasures. After years of tracking down the Minier cd, I finally was able to buy a copy of it.

Sounds like a job for Retroactive. This is yet another nearly impossible to find album that needs to be reissued.

I prefer the Applehead release, but have both and like both.

It always bothered me that the Minier ep didn't have any bass guitar on it.

There were some monstrous riffs on that Applehead.

Retroactive should release Applehead "meaning" with the Minier EP as bonus tracks.

Yes, "meaning" has a grunge flavor to it but its done well. The EP is some great thrash metal.

Cliffy, i agree. I always wondered why there was no bass recorded for it. It would've thickened up the mix, made it beefier.

Whatever happened to Greg Minier? Did he ever stay in music.

Philosophies of Man was my favorite track off of the Minier EP.

Personal life issues that forced him to bow out of the Christian industry.

Well, he played on XL & DBD's "Sodom And America" disc. Other than that, he seems to have vanished....

If I recall, he had a kid outside of marriage or somesuch.

Speaking of XL and DBD, I really need to replace my tape copy.

You're correct.

I had the pleasure of seeing Greg do some Applehead songs live on The Crucified's last tour with Mortal. XL did a couple of his songs also, with the Crucified guys backing him up. That was a real treat.

I prefered his Applehead material considerably more over Minier disc.

Applehead was definitely more grunge inspired, but was very good nonetheless. Definitely more of a unique sound than the straightforward Exodus-like thrash of Minier. I like both.

So did I. Great minds think alike!
