| I miss these guys as well! Anybody heard their live in the studio EP (1993)? The "unplugged" version of "Temple Of Soul" is perhaps their finest moment ever recorded. It's better than the original album version!

| I just thought this was funny: a while ago I was wondering if anyone had devoted a website to Die Happy, so I put their name in a search engine and came up with "diehappy.com". I was psyched until I went to it and found out that it was a site dedicated to a German Pop band who have the same name. It was all in German too, so I couldn't even read it. Now I've tried it again and it seems to be some sort of strange suicidal web site. Tell Doug Thieme and Larry Farkas to call their lawyers...

| Die Happy was a cool band. I liked their second album better than there first. They're they only Christian band that I know that sounded similar to Led Zepplin.

| The lead singer (Robin Kyle) who has an amazing voice went on to sing for Red Sea, but I don't see them on this site.

Scroll down a little bit, Kevensyle, they're in here, but there's still some confusion as to whether they were called "Red Sea" or "Blood" I still say the name of the band was Red Sea!

| I liked their first record a lot better. Their second record was a lot more blues and really short on metal. The first record was some great heavy metal! The chugga-chugga of Perpetual Motion, the blistering pace of Cage, the beauty of Celebration, the hard truth of Painted Truth. That first record was just terrific.

| Die Happy's bass player Digreg Chaisson (Die Happy II) also played for Red Sea and I have the cd blood and at the bottom it says Red Sea would like to Thank: and them has a list of names

| that would be Greg Chaisson (Die Hppy)

| Greg Chaisson also played with Badlands, who aren't a Christian band, but if you like blues-based hard rock similar to Die Happy, they were a great band. I just found a copy of their second album "Voodoo Highway" and it sounds like Badlands and Die Happy should've toured together!

| I really dont like Die happy at all well maybe one song. But I cant listen to it cuz there sell outs in my opinion to rogger martinez of Vengeance Rising.

| Die Happy were WAAAAAY more talented than Vengeance Rising! I think the band members made the right choice when they jumped off of Roger's ship and formed D.H.!

| I agree that Die Happy is far better than Vengeance! I bought the D.H. cd when it first came out a long time ago and they I was really impressed. I lost all my cds and am trying to find D.H. on Kazaa and can't. This makes me sad!

| Hey Tool: Don't feel bad, I still can't find this one on CD either... still making do with my old cassette copy.

| hey tool and metalgeek, list you e-mails and you just might get an early christmas present. Can't help you with kazaa, but I can do better....

| Hey Donny: Appreciate the offer but I just found the first D.H. album on CD via RadRockers.com, I'm just waiting for it to come in the mail! Thanks anyway!

| I like both albums, though I have to say that the second is better as far as it being more melodic than the first. The first ablum offers great songs like "Bone Doctor" which is a faster tune, remnant of what used to be their music from when they were with Vengeance. Robin Basurri (singer) went on to do a band called "Red Sea", which is worth checking out if you like Die Happy.

| If you like the heavier, more thrashing side of metal you'll like the first DH album better, but if you are more into the hard rocking/blues metal sound then you'll like "Volume II" better. I personally like the debut better but they both still rock.

| Hey Glen... If you can get Robyn Basuri back on vocals..by all means..get back together !!!! There is not enough of the old school rockers left..but there still is a bunch of us fans !! It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on!!!!!!!

| I remember hearing that the band split due to some personal conflicts between the members, but that aside I have Volume 2 and it rocks. I've been trying for years to locate the first CD...no sign of it anywhere.

| It's about time a great christian band comes up with a great record deal and gives the world something to listen to. Hey glen, if it is you, try to get in touck with Ty Tabor of KING'S X and see if he can do anything. Tabor has great contact in the music world maybe he can pull off something....You'll never know or we'll never know. PRAY

| Vol II is one of my favorite Christian hard rock albums of all time, not dissimilar to what Badlands were doing around the same time. Excellent bluesy hard rock with a retro '70's vibe. It's a shame that this band was mainly relegated to the "Christian ghetto"so to speak, as they could've been(and should've been) alot bigger in the secular market, as the musicianship and the songs are all first rate, and would appeal to fans of this style Christian or not.
