 Testament Frontman Chuck Billy Offers To Donate Portion Of Proceeds For
Thrash Of The Titans Benefit To Death/Control Denied's Chuck Schuldiner
Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Control Denied, Iced Earth, Sadus) posted a note
on his website that he spoke to Testament singer Chuck Billy about the fate
of Chuck Shuldiner (Death, Control Denied) and that Billy has offered to
donate a portion of the proceeds for the Thrash Of The Titans benefit to
Schuldiner.
As you will recall, on March 23rd, Billy announced that he had a form of
cancer called Germ Cell Seminoma (the latest news is that the growth is
localized and has not spread and Chuck will start treatment/therapy next
week). This week, organizers officially announced a benefit show for Billy
called Thrash Of The Titans to aid in his hospital bills. However, tragedy
struck again when Schuldiner announced that he needs to have a very specific
and immediate surgical treatment that is being denied to him based on a lack
of funds and insurance. Two years ago, on his 31st birthday, Schuldiner was
diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. For the past two years, Chuck has
fought for his life, family and passion for music. Chuck needs this delicate
operation immediately as doctors adamantly insist is crucial for his
recovery. Chuck's family and friends are reaching out to ask for your
assistance via an online auction.
According to DiGiorgio, "Billy came by for dinner tonight and said he read
about Chuck Shuldiner's current condition. He thought that sucked beyond
belief. And out of the kindness out of his massive heart, he told me to get
a hold of Chuck S's family and the record company, HammerHeart USA, to let
them know that he will be sharing the financial benefits he will gain from
the Thrash Of The Titans charity/benefit show later this summer held in his
honor. If that ain't a showing of unity and caring amongst our metal
community...I don't know what is. One guy suffering from an evil disease
sharing his fortune from everyone pitching in and then helping out a fellow
metal dude suffering even worse from the similar evilness."
The benefit show is called Thrash Of The Titans and is being organized by
Billy's roommate Walter Morgan and Jerry Allen from Tales From The Pit video
magazine, for Saturday, August 11th at San Francisco's Maritime Hall.
Anthrax have been confimed as the headliner along with S.O.D. and reunited
Bay Area thrash legends Death Angel. S.O.D. leader Billy Milano will be the
MC for the evening. Other acts scheduled to appear include Legacy
(pre-Testament), Exodus, Vio-Lence, Forbidden Evil, Laaz Rockit, Heathen,
and Sadus. Other bands that are being approached, but have not yet confirmed
their appearances.
All of us here at

speedy recovery and send our best to his family and friends.

 Thrash Of The Titans Benefit To Death/Control Denied's Chuck Schuldiner
<cut>
Dico solo che dimostra come i musicisti metal siano prima di tutto Persone,
non numero di dischi venduti e burattini nelle mani dello show-biz.
Pensate se al loro posto ci fossero Anastacia e Britney Spears, se si
aiuterebbero a vicenda, o se la casa discografica raccoglierebbe fondi
(ovviamente a parità di situazione economica con i due Chuck)...
Gli farebbero cantare qualche canzone prima della morte per poterci fare
uscire un album postumo e qualche raccolta con inediti, e un concerto di
tributo per vendere vhs e dvd.
E si aiuterebbero tra loro? Beh Elton John potrebbe fare una nuova versione
di Candle in the Wind, dare a loro il 10% dei guadagni (tolte le spese) e
intanto metterci assieme qualche canzone dall'imminente album per avere un
po' di royalties e promozionare il prossimo disco.
Sono fiero di amare il metal, grazie anche a gente come Chuck.
