They took their name from the 1974 TV movie directed by Jerry London, itself based on a Theodore Sturgeon short story. They released their first album, Intellectuals are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite, in the same year. The band split in 1990 but reformed in 1993, losing Bill Hobson and gaining Paul Zagoras, and continued until they split up in 1996. The band released 9 albums, including a post-breakup live CD, The Last Waltz, released in 1997.

Killdozer was a one-of-a-kind band, notable for its erotic songs, and its serious but not-so serious lyrics about the hardships of working in a circus, sung by singer Michael Gerald at the top of his lungs. Many of the lyrics dealt with disturbing narratives from the circus freak sideshow, or about his relationship with the bearded lady. The band also became famous for its uproarious cover songs, the most memorable of all being Don McLean's "American Pie". A version exists on their 1989 all-covers album For Ladies Only.

Killdozer is regarded by many to have set the foundation for grunge music, in spite of that genre's association with the city of Seattle. The band were stalwarts of Touch and Go Records during its legendary 1980s phase and they often toured with or played alongside stablemates such as Scratch Acid and Big Black. Steve Albini, who recorded Killdozer's 1995 album God Hears Pleas of the Innocent, has on many occasions cited Killdozer as a band who reach his exacting standards.

Try a documentary on the real event. So much of the story is well known and the event is almost completely filmed.
So the documentary is hard to beat by a “Hollywood attempt to spice up a story so extreme on its own merits”.

@Cyber94706

2y↑29

Correct. The fact that no one was hurt is a miracle: I have to imagine he may have missed police with his weapons intentionally considering he apparently never opened fire on anyone else at any point and seemed intent on causing only severe property damage. This was obviously very irresponsible as plenty of innocent people could have gotten hurt in the process and at the end of the day I'm sure none of the idiots who drove him to do this learned any lessons from it, but it's hard for me to say I wouldn't do something drastic in his situation too. He must have been extremely frustrated and rightly so at the injustice of it all, and it would have been difficult to contain his anger. Even after he served his country in the armed forces he was treated so poorly, and I really don't understand how anyone didn't expect something bad to happen at some point. You can't just hurt people and stifle them financially and politically and expect nothing bad to happen. Justice and retribution are inevitable forces of society. I hope those in positions of power eventually learn this fact before we are all driven to acts of madness like this man.

@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975

You should read the real facts. He was never wronged. He had to pay a steep sewer fee and didn’t want to do it. He ran a successful business for ten years then closed up shop due to lack of interest. I know you morons need a hero but always read the real facts.

This man is nothing short of a hero! We need tens of thousands of these types of men to stand up and do the right thing to those who would wrong everyone

@RaduP3

He killed himself after. If he could have found a way to stick it to those that did indeed bad things to him without killing himself, maybe he would have been a hero. I would dare say doing something without risking going to jail for life. But he gave his life for this vengeance. That ain't a hero, that's a Fool on an ego trip

This man was Destroyed by a group of people who were shown to work together in actively making his life Hell. He finally snapped after the Law did not help protect him from a gang of people. His story is a sad one. Many people belong in Jail for there part in this.

When you hear the whole story hes a friggin HERO that stood up against the bullies and corruption when normal people buckle facing such opposition. He just took another route other than cow tow to the bastards. The entitled priks of this world dont consider the concept of eye for an eye having consequences when destroying peoples lives but it can and should no matter your social status. Karmas a real bitch sometimes.

The fact they did not give him an easement for a driveway to connect to the main road is outrageous, that is criminal. Plus, fining him for not having access to a sewer for not having a septic permit? Insane. Older properties hardly ever have legitimate permits...

@Linda Roy If the price was the issue, the buyer would've backed out - built it somewhere else. Building around him, and closing the the road was a giant fuck you - it also ensured he would not be able to sell it to anyone else.
