Onslaught Knew Within Seconds That Hiring Neil Turbin Was A Mistake

(Classic Rock) Onslaught's Nige Rockett says he knew within seconds that they'd made a mistake in hiring Neil Turbin. The thrash veterans hired the former Anthrax frontman to fill in for Sy Keeler on their US tour when Keeler took time off to deal with personal issues.

But Onslaught and Turbin had an angry parting of the ways with two shows still to go on the US jaunt. Turbin insisted he quit, while the band said he had been sacked.

Now guitarist Rockett says he knew the appointment was a mistake 30 seconds into their first gig together. Rockett tells Jimmy Cabbs: "Thirty seconds into the first song in New York, we all looked at each other and it was, like, 'For f*** sake, man.'

"And it was just a disaster, the whole show. It was being filmed. And it was sold out. We could have sold the show out twice last time, and it was just, like, 'Wow, you killed it, man.'" Read more here.
