Trouser Press - Surface Noise by Ira Robbins - Installment #9 -- December 1997
In the early '90s, Los Angeles trendinistas were abuzz over Life, Sex & Death, an eminently mediocre rock band whose singer--the one-named Stanley--was a cleanliness-impaired homeless stinker prone to insane mutterings and odious social behavior. For some, he was a rad-er version of Perry Farrell, a truly wild individual unhindered by bourgeois civilization; to those for whom that would probably not be a good thing, he was a fraud and an offensive bad joke. Still, a Big Record Company gave these clowns Big Money and attempted (unsuccessfully, as it happens) to sell their shtick to the masses. But when you get right down to it, there's an undeniable commonality between that and any other rocker with a personal gimmick, whether it's Gene Simmons' tongue, the dead Sublime guy or the Gallaghers' brawling boorishness. There is, however, a huge gulf between such nonsense and unavoidable realities like Vic Chesnutt's wheelchair or Daniel Johnston's mental illness. Or, for that matter (but in a very different way), Shane MacGowan's alcoholism and Johnny Thunders' drug addiction.

Zim Zum. After screening a reported 150 respondents to their Village Voice
ad, Marilyn and Twiggy chose as their new guitarist this Gothic-looking
Chicagoan, formerly (briefly) with Life Sex and Death. (He does not play
on LSD's one CD, which had already been released when he did his two-week
stint with them.) While the name Zim Zum has been defined to some of the
press as the name of "an angel who did God's dirty work," it seems
as likely to derive from the Kabbalistic term tzimtzum or tsimtsum

John Purdell helped produce "The Silent Majority" Album
Artist - Life Sex And Death
Title - Silent Majority
Label - Warner Brothers
Release Date - 8/11/1992
This project was a nightmare. The lead singer had this gimmick where he was a street bum. He stank but the band kicked ass. They wanted to get out of L.A. to record the CD. I called that studio in Mansarat that Gearge Martin owned. It was just closed down 'cause of a hurricane but I talked to George Martin himself. That was cool. We ended up going to Tulsa OK and renting one of those Le Mobile trucks and a big ballroom. We fixed it at Devonshire.
L.S.D.'s debut album is given over to lengthy songs and suite-like pieces where individual songs blur together and riffs pound away one after another, frequently under extended jams. There isn't much variety in tempo, mood, or the band's simple, blues-derived musical vocabulary, but that's not the point; L.S.D.'s slowed-down, murky guitar rock bludgeons the listener in an almost hallucinatory fashion, reveling in its own dazed, druggy state of consciousness. Songs like the apocalyptic title track, "Tank," and "Jawohl Asshole" make their obsessions with evil and black magic seem like more than just stereotypical heavy metal posturing because of the dim, suffocating musical atmosphere the band frames them in. This blueprint would be refined and occasionally elaborated upon over the band's next few albums, but there are plenty of metal classics already here.

9/92 From Brookfield Illinois, former ‘Enuff Z’Nuff’ drummer Vikki Foxx, who also played in a Chicago band with 'Life, Sex & Death's frontman Stanley, officially joins the Vince Neil Band, after guesting in the video for 'You're Invited' and again at the MTV Movie Awards earlier in the year. He records his drum tracks for the upcoming album in seven days. On rhythm guitar for the Vince Neil Band is long time Crue fan and bassist of 9 years Robbie Crane, who was recommended by Gary Ruddell, Vince’s brother-in-law. Born and raised in Hollywood, 24 year old Robbie first saw the Crue in concert at 'The Starwood' when he sneaked out of his parents’ home when he was 13. His Dad is owner of a tyre shop and his Mum is a housewife. Most of his family play instruments but Robbie’s the only one who pursues it professionally. He was the bass tech on ‘Poison’s ‘Look What the Cat Dragged In’ tour, and he was a boom mike operator on porn movies. His previous bands include ‘New Haven’ with Tim Kelly of ‘Slaughter’, ‘Tuff’ who he did some demos with, and he briefly rehearsed with ‘Lynch Mob’. Phil Soussan plays bass for VNB, having previously been bassist for Ozzy Osbourne in 1986-1987. Former Nasty Habit, Donna McDaniel, helps out with additional background vocals.

Zim, aka Michael, was raised in Chicago with an older "jock" brother by his mom and a grandmother who was supportive but questioned the viability of a career in music. (He has sent her tapes of Manson shows, but figured the live experience "would probably be a little to much for her. Seeing 5,000 people like me at once can be a bit weird."). Playing in Life, Sex & Death, fronted by a singer who looked like a unwashed maniac, gave him his first taste of controversial attention, but he didn't want to go along when the band moved from Chicago to L.A. He figured something else would come up, and one day he saw an ad in the paper that proved him right.

BAM has never been afraid to go out on a limb with an artist. There were
some missed calls, such as
Sumner (May 5th, 1978), Greg Copeland (June 4th, 1982), Liquid Jesus (June
28th, 1991), and Life, Sex, Death (June 26th, 1992). But there are many
musicians whose careers would probably not have been what they became were
it not for the early support they received in the pages of BAM.
Numerous names come to mind: Greg Kihn, Eddie Money, Motley Crue, Los Lobos,
Journey, the
Tubes, Fishbone, Camper Van Beethoven, Primus, Huey Lewis & the News,
Night Ranger, Poison,
Chris Isaak, Tesla, Faith No More, Metallica, Concrete Blonde, the Red Hot
Chili Peppers, Digital
Underground, Jane's Addiction, No Doubt, Goldfinger, Geraldine Fibbers,
Green Day, and many, many, many others. Hell, BAM gave Beck his first cover
ever...not to mention Pat Smear who gave BAM his only extensive interview
thus far.
