Exodus Ruined Rob Dukes' Honeymoon With Firing
. (TeamRock Radio) Former Exodus frontman Rob Dukes says he was sacked by the band - while he was on his honeymoon. The singer's last gig with the group was at the Rock On The Range festival last year, after which he got married and went on honeymoon. It was then that he was told over the phone that he was to be replaced by Steve 'Zetro' Souza. It was a particularly hard blow to take as Dukes had only an hour earlier received some great news - that his other band Generation Kill was to team up with rap icon Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels. Dukes bumped into DMC at the airport as he waited for his flight back to New York following Rock On The Range. The pair discussed collaborating on a song, but eventually decided to do an entire album together - produced by Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal. Dukes says: "The last Exodus show I ever did, I leave and I get married. I'm on my honeymoon and Darryl calls me on Friday morning at 9am and I was like, 'Ah sh*t I'm gonna work with DMC. He's a Hall Of Fame Artist, this is an outstanding moment. Look how weird my life is.' "Then at 10am, Exodus called me and fired me. It just ruined the moment. It was a bittersweet pill that I had to swallow." Read more here. TeamRock Radio is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
