* OldShame: "Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)" has become this for Blackie ever since he became a born-again Christian (again). As such, he's swore never to play it live again. Though, interestingly enough, t-shirts related to the song are still easily obtainable from the band's own website...
* ThePeteBest: The band's first two bassists Rik Fox and Don Costa both qualify. Don Costa basically vanished after he left the group after they recorded ther second demo (he did very briefly play for Ozzy Osbourne in 1983, though). Rik Fox made a bit more of an impact in that he was responsible for the band's name, and that the "Face The Attack" demo made it onto the internet because the original copy was stolen from his car.Other than that, his career pretty much died before the end of the '80s He does have his own page on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rik_Fox The Other Wiki]], but considering how in depth it is and how much it praises him, it's pretty obvious he wrote it himself.
