Live amateur video:

And one that should fire some of you up, recently posted by preacher/author Jeff Godwin...

mazzie, did you check out that Jeff Godwin video?

hey scott,"promogirly777" is me.after robert sent this video..frosted me so bad i couldnt keep my mouth shut!!! had to leave a comment! i love though he said "men didnt look like this in the 50s" i mean..cuz he must be stuck in some time warp..all the metal dudes i know have had long hair for years! lol!

yeah i saw that video...it still amazes there are people like him out there. I'm surprised he focused on you guys.

Love the Scorpions jersey

wants the scorpions jersey!!! hint!

Saw the vid with the preacher. Wow, harsh. It must have pissed you off when he said "thats not a man" and x'd out your picture, dude.

"Men didn't look like this in the 50's" ...maybe because it's not the 50's anymore?

If he wants to talk tradition, he should look back a bit further into American history. Long hair was VERY common in the 1700s. Is he saying our forefathers were not real men?

But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." ~ 1 Samuel 16:7

About the Michael W Smith comments, he (the preacher) doesn't seem to recall that in the Bible, even the Apostles hadn't figured out why Jesus had to die until soon before his crucifixion, let alone the people Jesus preached to. Jesus did reference his crucifixion but nobody understood what exactly he meant, due to the language Jesus used. So he did have an ambition that few understood at the time, so calling it a "secret ambition" is not too far-fetched. Anyone is welcome to correct me on any of this info, i'm just going by what I remember...


All the preacher's comments on appearance are not based on anything written in the Bible. They are his opinions, or more broadly, ideas based in present day cultural norms. Some people are uncomfortable with what they do not understand, as this fellow seems to be. He's probably not all bad/crooked. I think when misunderstandings like this happen we need to edify our brothers/ sisters in Christ. It's where the heart is/ what kind of fruits you produce in your actions that truly matters, not outward appearance.

hey bee_rad, i am in total agreement with you in regards to the michael w. song.i just had this very discussion the other night as a friend and i wachted the Godwin video together.on my youtube account i have michaels video"secret ambition".i am a metal sista to the core,but,used the video as a myspace bulletin as a witness around the holidays. also,if you go back and check the comments on Godwins video you will see mine in support of Ultimatum!! nuff said! lol! metal blessings and gods best to my metal brothas in the faith,scott,robert,rob and alan! this is one metal sista not carin if they have long or short hair!!! keep rockin in his name!!

Great post bee-rad. Couldn't agree more.

Here's one that will be less offensive...

This one was a total improv on stage that night. We invited the guitarist from Oil on stage with us and he and Steve soloed at the same time. We also had Randy Michaud from Troglodyte Dawn sharing vocals. Considering it was totally on the spot and unrehearsed, it came out great.

Yes he is. He's one of my most trusted and dearest friends.

Ah yes, Burn, Satan, Burn!!! Great video!!!

And I love Trog joining on the chorus

Hey Scott, Do you still see or talk to Sean? How is the brother doing?

Yes, I still talk to him. He's doing good. He's playing guitar now and planning on doing a solo thing in the future. He was playing drums at his church too, though I don't know if he is still doing that.

Here's another one:

great video,scott, the black and white gives the band a very vintage look..just thinking it is so cool that alan's church lets you practice there! thanks for puttin these videos up! i have most of them on my you tube account and have left comments.(promogirly777) my username..all the best and metal blessings always to you and the band!

A video from 2001:


The band at the time was myself on vocals, Steve Trujillo & Robert Gutierrez guitars, Sean Griego on drums and Tom Micheals on bass. I believe this was the last show with Tom on bass. Future Ultimatum bassist was in the crowd that day watching as a fan.

Vocals are a bit loud on this video, but still a cool video. Shot in Anaheim, CA, 2002 when we were opening for Once Dead. Note the priest collar I'm sporting. Thought it looked cool, but it only lasted for a couple shows. Too dang hot!
