Listen to that crowd sing along for a band that hadn’t existed in a decade! That is the power of the Strike. What a F’n great band!

D4 may have been the most nationally well-known band on the bill, but everybody, including D4 knows that the Strike were the best band on the bill. If I remember correctly, the Strike headlined the night, because who wants to play after them?

Joe Lyon

Ryan’s Corner

St. Paul, MN

20 December 1987

Joe Lyon is a dark performance artist. Lots of blood and stuff. The performance was silent but uses a lot of goth styled music to set the mood. If you love old horror movies, magic, mixed with an Impaler/Gwar type stage show with plenty of blood, then this is for you. The performance was a benefit show at Ryan’s Corner in St. Paul: Metal for Man’s Best Friend.

Other videos from this night are posted here, so seek them out!

To remove the copyright strike, I have muted portions of the audio in performance.

Skull Fuck was Nikki & Erik who later went on to do Iron Fist. One of the most under-rated hard core punk bands from Minneapolis in the early 80’s. I don’t know much about the 567 generation VHS dub video, other than this video was handed to me by Iron Fist front man Ollie Stench YEARS ago!

If you have more information to share, leave it in the comments!

This was a benefit show at Ryan’s Corner. This is not the Disturbed from popular radio fame…this is Minnesota’s Disturbed, and features Earl Root. The had a self-titled album on Channel 83 Records. If you didn’t know Earl, he had to have been Minneapolis’ biggest champion of Metal. He ran a 6 hour long all Metal radio show on KFAI each week and he was just an all-around good guy. Sadly, Earl passed many years back. I think it was cancer. If you know more, maybe you can leave a note in the comments.
