| Really surprised to have never heard that about him before considering how well know he is in the DM scene. Immediately makes me think a lot less of him (not that I thought much of him before) |

The fuck?!  Seriously?? How has this not been made more of??
That's not technically true now is it. From what I can gather from reading the ATTACK bio is he laid down some lead guitar / solos on 10 out of 12 songs on their 2009 album "Fade Away" when he happened to be in the same studio as them. Hence why under his picture it says "Feat. lead guitar (of Jack Owen)". Also the only pic of him is him standing with his guitar and two members of ATTACk. No live photos of him or live youtube clips of him playing with them. I could be wrong but it just seems he made a bad choice in doing a local band a favour with some lead guitar work....or he could just be a good ol' fashioned hatemonger, either way I doubt he is / was a member of ATTACK  |

I can't find any links on youtube or google for this and I've tried every combination of words i can think of.....if you've any links horse em up...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
edit: found this > he played the CHS memorial day event
-----Invictus posted same poster below, no point having it taking up the whole page-----
and he also allegedly played a solo set at the Hammerskin Hammer Fest 2009 in Florida but he doesn't appear on any posters, reviews or forums regarding the event even Stormfront doesn't mention him and they love their semi-famous white folk over there....
It seems he also produced and laid down lead quitar on "America's most hated act" NO ALIBI...tut tut..
So it would seem ol' Jack is indeed fond of a good lynching.... |

| Indeed, I find it fascinating that more has not been made of this. I checked out the Attack website, there's nothing there to suggest he's a full time racist. |

'kin hell. What a spa. Chatted to him briefly at a Deicide show in the Village a few years back and he came across as a knob, but that brings it to a whole new level of scumbaggery.
By the way,  at the desertfather youtube clip. Jaysus Merrion Joseph. |

| Was he on before or after the feats of strength Also got a kick out of Attack using the phrase 'people of color' amid their ranting. Damn African-Americans! |

$25 to see Arghoslent and then later, as an after-party, some cro-mags throw their backs out attempting stupidly over-their-limit deadlifts in an attempt to impress the preening meth-addicts that pass for aryan women, what's not to love?
Amazed nobody has made a shitstorm out of this considering the absolute piss some other folk have had made out of even just appearances on one or two songs on "questionable" releases. |

I think he does a bit of presenting for horror channels as well.
Animal (Anti Nowhere League) runs a construction company. Apparently, he always wears an Armani suit to Rebellion in the hope that no one recognizes him.
Chris Connelly (Ministry/Revolting Cocks/Murder Inc) runs a record shop in Chicago.
Think some of Orange Goblin used to do truck driving. |
