On this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman speaks to Craig from Forbidden, a Bay Area thrash band that has experienced a rebirth. Craig explains that after the band dissolved in 2012, he had received offers every year but never took them seriously since he did not want to perform without Russ Anderson, the band's vocalist and his mentor. Russ had severe bouts with alcoholism, and Craig did not see a way to continue without him. However, the Bay Area Inter Rational, a festival in Holland, asked Craig if he would be interested in doing a tribute for thrash metal. Craig's idea was that nobody in the bands played their own song, and they stood on the side of the stage when their song came up. Craig had to find a singer to rehearse since none of the local singers were available. Chris Contos suggested Norman Skinner, whom Craig had not seen sing in a while, but he was a really cool guy. They had Norman come in and learn a bunch of songs, and he nailed them all. During a rehearsal, they ran through a forbidden song, and Norman's performance blew them away. Craig heard it and felt it was cool. They went to Europe and then returned to the Bay Area for the festival. Skinner sang eight songs at the festival, including one of Forbidden's songs. His performance was so good that it was evident that they had to continue with the band. Craig describes the band's rebirth as a long slow burn, and his last reluctance to take up the offer of performing without Russ Anderson was due to his reverence for the vocalist. However, Craig's decision to invite Norman Skinner proved to be a turning point for the band, leading them to continue their musical journey. The rebirth of Forbidden highlights the importance of having a team and the potential that lies in trying out new things. It also emphasizes the significance of perseverance and taking chances. This episode of The Adventures of Pipeman showcases the ability of music to bring people together, inspire them to overcome challenges, and help them evolve.
