About Me


..
-
Glenn Cannon is the bassist for Industrial/Goth Metal band INFERNO and Heavy Metal band HELLION. He also occasionally works with Metal band MOTHER MERCY and female hard rock artist APRILLEE. You might remember Hellion from MTV's Headbangers Ball in 1987 for the song "Bad Attitude" and all the major tours they did in the 80's. Glenn became part of the line-up when Ann Boleyn decided to reform Hellion in 2001. The late Tim Kelley was a member of Hellion before joining SLAUGHTER in the early 90's. Hellion went on to work with RONNIE JAMES DIO who produced some of the bands recordings including a fan favorite "Run For Your Life" from the "Postcards From The Asylum" album. The latest album "Will Not Go Quietly" was released on Massacre Records in 2003. Hellion still has two more albums left on the contract with Massacre Records and plans to start recording as soon as they can. In 2004 Glenn joined Power Metal Band STEEL PROPHET (who was also on Massacre Records) when their bass player joined ICE-T's band BODY COUNT. Vocalist Nadir D'Priest who sang on Steel Prophet's "Beware" album also played with locally known Hollywood CA bands LONDON and D'Priest. London has had many members that later went on to be in bands such as WASP, MOTLEY CRUE (NIKKI SIXX), CINDERELLA, KEEL and others. In 2005 D'Priest was replaced with vocalist Bruce Hall from former Metal Blade recording artist AGENT STEEL. Glenn also made his departure shortly there after. During that time Glenn played with Pat Benatar tribute band "Precious Time" briefly. Some more of Glenn's former bands are Shattered (who had early demos produced by Don Dokken), Pyromania, Brat Prince and Glass Shadow. Glass Shadow demos were produced by Alex Woltman who worked on albums for WASP, QUIET RIOT and MOTLEY CRUE. Juan Croucier from popular 80's metal bands RATT and DOKKEN produced Glenn's former band Brat Prince. Glenn would finish all bass tracks then opt out within two years after completion. Brat Prince's "Heroes" album was completed in 1998. Glenn currently fills in for various different bands (signed and unsigned) from time to time for touring and local shows (references available upon request).
