SUBSONIC Video Met With Overwhelming Response
Since the "Dream American" video debuted not even 48 hours ago, it has been viewed 486 times. And a number of other websites have picke dup on the MK scoop from last Sunday night and posted links and provided additional press on it's release. Thus far it has been met with positive feedback and sparked pre production of a follow-up video for "A Day Late" a ballad type number which should be shot in Chicago sometime this spring. Further details are pending.
The "Dream American" video was shot by Second City Alum Paul Baio in one afternoon with longtime friend, Dan Laudo of Prong on drums, and Dietrich Thrall form Marazene on bass. Dietrich has been named the official touring bassist for Subsonic.
Ron Marks the former lead guitarist of Celtic Frost, joined the CF line-up in May of 1987, after the release of "Into the Pandemonium". He became CF's lead guitarist, thus fulfilling a long-planned goal of CF's - to have two guitar players in the band in order to create a fuller sound in live performances. Ron's presence within the band was heavily overshadowed due to the hardships CF was facing at that time. Although Ron was only in the band for a few months, his contributions turned out to be quite emence. He was a key element which influenced and helped change the band's sound. In 1989 he returned to Celtic Frost unofficially to help record "Vanity/Nemesis" in Berlin. Ron's tenure with Celtic Frost at that point would be only the recording of the "Vanity/Nemesis" album.
Tom Gabriel Fischer founder of Celtic Frost and author of the Frost biography "Are you Morbid?" had this to say about Ron:
"What really lifts him (Ron Marks) above any other contender is his extraordinary guitar playing, executed with the feel of someone who has a god-given talent for the instrument...His musical horizons extend and eclipse Martins and my own technical capabilities."
