A former guitarist for the San Francisco death metal band Possessed was shot and killed by South San Francisco police last week after shooting at a neighbor and then shooting at responding officers.
The San Francisco Chronicle noted that 60-year-old Brian Montana “became enraged over tree debris spilling over from a neighbor’s yard.” An argument with the neighbor ensued and soon escalated into shots being fired.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Montana armed himself with various guns as officers arrived on scene and fired at police.
A press release from the South San Francisco Police Department says: “The armed suspect repositioned into a neighboring driveway and fired multiple times at officers using a handgun, shotgun, and rifle—taking cover behind vehicles and landscaping. Officers used patrol cars as cover and returned fire. The suspect was struck and ultimately pronounced deceased at the scene.”

Sounds like he went from being a lead guitarist to being a hot lead guitarist.
Death by Metal
Death Metal guy dies over leaves, OK then. Some say Alice Cooper pioneered DM and he’s still alive.
He likely was truly “possessed.”
As grandma always said: “You call the devil - and the devil’s gonna come.”
Landscaping is NOT ‘cover’, it is ‘concealment’ - same with vehicles unless positioned behind engine block.
Thanks to SSG Burgess and his swift kick - I still remember that one!
Should be titled no-name guitarist from local SF band dies fighting the police.

Alice Cooper became a Christian.

Yeah, that rings a bell.
Alice Cooper’s father and grandfather were both evangelists / church leaders. Cooper himself seems to be a very decent, level-headed guy. He used to be a serious alcoholic and now quietly counsels rock musicians who come to him with their own addictions. He lost an endorsement deal when he referred to transgenderism as a fad.
Well, at least a cool song should come out of this.
I just went to YouTube and listened to a song by Possessed. Count me out.
Montana “became enraged over tree debris spilling over from a neighbor’s yard.”
= = =
Maybe there should be a way to get the neighbor to take care of his debris.
So, if the city won’t do it, do it yourself....
I don’t think Alice Cooper was anywhere near “Death Metal”. They (and he) were more into the macabre stage show than “Metal” music.
When I went to a video and saw them with upside down crosses, I immediately left...
