Bloodgood on Northwest Afternoon - KOMO TV 4 - Seattle, WA 1988

Edited segment from the Seattle TV show "Northwest Afternoon" on KOMO TV 4 (copied from VHS recording). Christian Heavy Metal band "Bloodgood" was guest on this show.

I (Dave) was a senior in highschool (at Mountlake Christian School) and got out of class early with my buddy Mark so we could go down to the studio and see Bloodgood interviewed live on the set. If you look closely you might spot us in the audience. Mark is the guy with the thick black mustache and I'm sitting to his left, wearing a blue coat and parted hair. Ugh, I hated that hair. lol... I wanted so bad to have long hair but the school wouldn't allow it, so I started growing it longer in the front (for as long as I could get away with it). I was a metal head at heart anyway, haha.

Truth also is that Bloodgood's music was pretty inspiring to me as a young guy. Not only did I love the music (and could air-guitar every lead - haha) but the lyrics provided a lot of encouragement as well. Many of their songs identified with struggles kids my age were facing and I'm glad they were around to serve as part of the support God used in my life to keep my feet on the path and my mind fixed on good things. Great band, great guys, and Les still has one of the coolest heavy metal voices ever (and always dug David Zaffiro's guitar and vocals and Michael's guitar as well and Mark was an awesome drummer too).

This is a cropped segment from the show. I've edited out the commercials and the first half hour of the program, which was just the host going on about all the gossip from the daily soap operas popular at the time. The rest contains the full interview with the band.

Bloodgood remains one of my favorite bands and they're still making excellent heavy metal music. Their new album is great! Be sure to visit their website and check them out.
