Guitarist David K. Starr (WildeStarr, Vicious Rumors, Chastain) returns with a slamming new track and video. “Not Dead Yet” is Dave’s own testimony of life’s twists and turns after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2020.
Dave comments: “I originally started writing the song about what I have gone through, but then I realized its bigger then me, this song is for anyone out there dealing with life changing events, be it their health, death of a loved one, a broken heart, or whatever comes your way. I never mention my health problems in the song, that would be too corny, so I broadened my scope and made it for anyone out there who’s going through pain. It’s basically about standing tall and fighting for yourself, fighting to stay alive, no matter what kind of hell life throws at you.”
“Not Dead Yet” was directed by London Wilde, and features Dave singing lead vocals for the first time, as well as playing all the guitars. Backing him up on this new track & video are Rich Gray on bass (Annihilator, Aeon Zen) and drummer Fabio Alessandrini (Annihilator, Bonfire).
Dave was with Vicious Rumors from 1985 – 1993, and again from 2005 – 2007. He is featured on the albums Soldiers Of The Night (1985), Digital Dictator (1988), Vicious Rumors (1990), Welcome To The Ball (1991), and Plug In and Hang On: Live In Tokyo (1992).
He also played bass for Chastain from 2001 – 2005 and recorded the 2004 album, In An Outrage.
