The Big Lie. The Co-opting of the God Bullies Legacy

I'm sorry that I have to report on some drama revolving around the God Bullies legacy right now. It's the "Big Lie".

I'm sorry that I have to report on some drama revolving around the God Bullies legacy right now. It's the "Big Lie". We have a situation where Mike Hard wants to try and relive the Glory Days of the God Bullies, not by getting a hold of the original members but instead to somehow just convert the band “Thrall” magically into the God Bullies but that sounds like Black Magic to me. Now since all of the founding God Bullies members are still alive and doing well, you'd think that's where you'd start if you wanted to resurrect the defunct God Bullies band. But that's not what happening and that's where we have the problem. Mike Hard has been playing with the band "Thrall" and simply wants to co-opt the God Bullies good name & tarnish it’s legacy. It has put a bit of a schism between the actual band members. At this time, none of the original members have given their permission for Thrall to hijack the name God Bullies.
Now Mike Hard will try to sell it to you as a "melding" or "merging" of Thrall into the God Bullies. But I'm sorry guys but that's just not how it's done, not legally and certainly not morally. We are hoping Mike Hard comes to his senses before we have to involve the attorneys. Now while I can understand how there will be many true God Bullies fans that would be excited to see the real band together again. Anyone going to the "Pseudo Bullies" shows, while you may still even find it entertaining, please realize you would only be helping promote this giant fraud, doing a huge disservice to the people who have actually worked tirelessly over many years creating the God Bullies legacy that we know today. Let’s dig a little deeper on where we are. Here’s the most recent timeline and back story.
The actual God Bullies members (Mike Hard, Mike Corso, David Livingstone, Adam Berg) reunited in 2010 for several shows around the time of the 25 year AmRep reunion. We recorded the song "Wake Up" for the AmRep complication. "Wake Up" was a GB's song that had been sitting on an unfinished album recorded in 2002 that had all bass & drums tracks with some guitar and vocals. (I will be posting some of those songs soon) While David Livingstone and Mike Hard went on to play together in different bands, unfortunately neither of them had any interest in finishing that album. The God Bullies band was officially done and over with at that point in time, over 14 years ago. This should be the End of the a wonderful Rock & Roll Story. But not when a huge ego is involved. Attention all God Bullies fans: Be on the lookout for false Profits, Ego Maniacs and backstabbing lying friends. Once again Mike Hard and his weak-minded little minions in the band Thrall make a move to co-opt the God Bullies good name and mooch off its legacy. Thrall can’t just “merge” with the God Bullies, that’s not how it works guys. Especially when 4 of the original members are alive and want Nothing to do with this bastardization of their band.
Here’s Thrall selling you the Big Lie. WARNING! The following statement’s from Thrall are full of Delusions & Lies. From Scott Kodrik’s Facebook page:
“Ok so here it is… Some big news… After very high demand, post after post by fans requesting and this weekends shows literally asking the fans, unanimously shouting the same answer… We have decided to meld the two bands together, play Thrall songs still in the sets and God Bullies… We are going into Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio In April with Sanford Parker to record the NEXT GOD BULLIES album this April followed by a GOD BULLIES US Tour and European Tour this year 2024. We want to keep our brother and beloved band mate David B Livingstone’s music/spirit alive so this is for you David. That being said, GOD BULLIES are BACK!!!! See you soon”
“Thrall has decided to merge Thrall with God Bullies do to high demand. "Because off the certain conditions of our nation and future of our country, GOD BULLIES have been called back into service on our mission of enlightenment. Forty years ago we tried to tell all this was going to happen, no one listened to us.Now the God Bullies have to go back out and do it again. this mission is too important. We can not hand it off to They Never Sleep, Hand Over Head, The Brain Saw and not even Thrall. The time is now for the God Bullies again to rise. All hail Lucifer, light bringer, the morning star, Herald of the Dawn!!" - Mike Hard”
Here’s the real deal. It’s Not about “asking the fans, unanimously shouting the same answer…” You guys are in Thrall. The God Bullies have Not been called "back into service on a mission of enlightenment." That is your delusion. You are NOT and never will be the "God Bullies". There will be NO "melding" of the bands. The best Thrall can be is what you've allowed Mike Hard to do all these years, turn Thrall into a "God Bullies" cover band or as many have called you the "Pseudo Bullies" So call it Thrall, They Never Sleep, Hand Over Head, The Brain Saw or the Mike Hard Show again but NEVER call yourselves the God Bullies.
DO NOT go into any recording studio as if you are the "God Bullies". Its called Intellectual Property Rights. Do NOT try to fraudulently pass off the music you recorded with David in the band "Pig Harvest" It has already been held out and promoted as "Pig Harvest" with absolutely No mention of God Bullies. There are four people responsible for ALL the melody lines and arrangements in GB's tunes, Tommy Shannon, David Livingstone, Mike Corso & Eric Polcyn. Mike Hard wrote the lyrics, nothing else. He's a great front-man, I'll give him that but Mike Hard never wrote a single note or any melodies. So now to think you can just insert a whole new band is first off, it’s illegal, secondly it’s extremely arrogant, asinine and totally disrespectful to those who ACTUALLY worked tirelessly over many years to build up the GB Brand.
“We want to keep our brother and beloved band mate David B Livingstone’s music/spirit alive so this is for you David.”
That statement really sickens me. Earlier in promotions, Thrall invoked the spirit of our fallen comrade David Livingstone (it was on his birthday yet) as if to justify their co-opting of the God Bullies..... Sheesh, David B. Livingstone must be turning in his grave! You need to ask yourself, when Mike & David played in different bands over all those years, why didn't they ever call it the God Bullies??? I will tell you, David Livingstone did want to live off the past glory of the God Bullies. He told me so himself. That's Mike Hard and his enormous ego, hoping to bring back HIS glory days. So now with the unfortunate death of David Livingstone, Mike Hard does the dishonorable thing, makes his move to do what David never wanted any part of. Turn Thrall into the God Bullies. And I’ve been told they will try and pawn the recordings of the band “Pig Harvest” as God Bullies. This is truly despicable.
There was some deceit.
Scott Kodrik, had recently contacted me about doing some GB's shows and while I was very interested and said I’ll think about it and we should all talk (thinking Tommy, Adam & Hard) Before I could think about much of anything, Thrall was already doing God Bullies sets..... Then after reading Scott’s posts, asking some questions, having him quickly unfriend and block me so I can't communicate my dissatisfaction there, I can see he is NOT the honest man I thought he was and it appears the whole time it was all just another rouge for Thrall to hijack the God Bullies to feed Mike Hards huge ego so he can exploit the name grifting off its legacy.
Hey band members of Thrall, Grow some Fucking Balls already, tell Mike Hard you're better than just a God Bullies cover band.
Consider this your notice to "Cease and Desist" doing business as a band named the "God Bullies". Legal action to follow if necessary.
My Final Thoughts. The theft of something as unique as the Art I created is very personal to me. I know this may seem trivial to some but it means a heck of a lot for those of us who put the time & sweat into creating Art or Music just to have it stolen and exploited. Have you ever had your door kicked in with property stolen and your home left trashed. It leaves you feeling violated. Well I have had that happen to me and the feeling doesn't just go away. You clean up the mess the thieves left but every time you look at the empty space with your personal items once sat, it evokes the same sick feeling. With the theft of the God Bullies name, seeing them promoting the Big Lie online, bragging about a new album…. well that makes me feel much the same way, totally violated and sick to my stomach. I wasn't lucky enough to catch the thieves that broke in my home because they did it behind my back, in the cover of darkness of night when I was away. But to know the people I thought were my close friends who could be trusted that I once respected, choose to kick in my front door in while I’m screaming “Stop Steal My Art” yet go right on stealing from me, I'm sorry but that just has my blood boiling.
Fans of the God Bullies, please reach out to Mike Hard and Thrall and kindly ask them not to go down this path.
Thank you for your time. Mike Corso

More God Bullies drama. I'm going to respond to the tirade Scott Kodrik posted after I let folks know about their con job.
WOW you gave me so much to respond too. Let's do it in sections.
"You wanna do this Corso??? First off THRALL is doing just fine.. We are killing it in fact. We don’t have a NEED to change our name, it’s because Mike Hard IS the GOD BULLIES and has been playing God Bullies records and putting out albums for YEARS with myself, David and a TON of other versions of the God Bullies YOU were NOT involved with while you were sitting on ass crying like a little bitch like you are right now."
Do you know how absolutely stupid and cult like you sound when you say, "Mike Hard IS the God Bullies"??? There’s WAY more to the GB’s than just Mike Hard. The God Bullies originally consisted of Me, Tommy Shannon, Adam Berg, Mike Hard with additionally some members changes through time with David Livingstone guitar, Eric Polcyn bass Tony Oliveri drums. You and Johnny were nothing more than special guest lucky enough to get up on stage with us. I don't remember your name on ANY recorded material. The last album was the original lineup and the last time the GB's toured 14 years ago it was Me, Hard, David, Adam with Johnny as a guest guitar player. (let's face it, Hard angled to have Johnny replace me on bass but thankfully David Livingstone stepped in and said said no way. Thank you Mister Livingstone) Name any GB release put out after Kill the King or the AmRep 25th reunion comp. Name any GB recording YOU had anything to do with. Go ahead, I’ll wait…. I'm waiting! You can't because the band was done and over and you NEVER ever contributed anything to the God Bullies. And by the way, ALL of the original God Bullies are alive. That's where you start if you want to get a band back together not with some egotistic glorified God Bullies cover band. Oh yeah, I dare you to ask any of the original members if they give you the thumbs up on this debacle. Don't bother because you won't get the answer you want..
"I’ve played in God Bullies with David Livingstone over ten times and played with David the last THREE years in Pig Harvest our new project, also with Cliff from Thrall. "
Yeah, I remember those shows, remember how I immediately reached out back then and put the kibosh to it, just like I’m doing now. That’s about the time the Mike Hard Show started. Stick with Thrall and we can put this behind us.
"The reason David didn’t want to call it God Bullies was because he didn’t want to deal with your immature cry baby drama and because he thought you were a giant prick after treating him like dirt one two many times. Especially on Kill the King insisting he couldn’t be involved besides engineering… which by the way you’d have NEVER had the opportunity to do without Mike or Myself knowing Joel Martin and Steve King at 54 Sound."
This is what total gas-lighting looks like. Why are you making up such bullshit. David Livingstone and I had a great relationship. Even though our politics did't align, I've had nothing but great discussion with David. Never exchanged a sharp word. Zero animosity. Why make this crap up? It was MY idea to even include him on the Kill the King album and he would have been more than welcome to put some tracks down. You are just so full of bullshit. It’s also not very difficult to book a studio with a decent producer. Duh...
"How quickly we forget HOW MANY TIMES and versions, musicians were in the Bullies when you were not. David, Eric, Tony, myself, Johnnie Johnson… I could keep going. Guess who Always was? MIKE HARD."
I’ve already explained who was in the band and you and Johnny are NOWHERE to be found on any roster. Actually Hard was NOT always there! Hard quit the God Bullies and left us hanging with some gigs to do, we still did some shows in Detroit and Kazoo with front-man Blaine Townsend on vocals. We played our hometown bar, Club Soda with the Kazoo band the Sinatra's. We headlined the show, sold a ton of merch, made points for such a huge crowd and Blaine signed a bunch of autographs. Nobody much really cared who was singing. So, that’s a Big NO, he has NOT always been there. Mike Hard wrote lyrics. The rest of the band wrote the medley. Two completely different things when it comes to the world of Intellectual property law and having your ass sued in court.
"We gave you the opportunity to be involved with this but instead you call up Hard with name calling, shouting, acting like the little two faced bitch you are."
You GAVE me the opportunity. How self-righteously generous of you. Didn’t you tell me we were good friends and you wouldn't do it if I wasn’t involved? Isn't that what you just said to me? I didn’t have a minute to even think about anything because you already had it all planned out for Thrall to play all GB sets. So It looks like it was already in the works and you were being deceitful to me. I thought you were my friend Scott Kodrik….. Mike Hard wouldn’t let me get a word in…. As soon as I questioned anything, He instantly went into a diatribe about how HE’S been doing music forever and now its HIS time. He sounded like Cult leader and never really never mentioned anything about including me in his cult. But you really are hilarious, sad and a bit pathetic if you actually believe everything Hard tells you. SMFH
"I’ve been playing NON stop with Mike Hard making music and touring for 32 years now with Cliff while you sit around and complain about what could have been. That’s because WE are professional musicians and have worked our asses off to get to where we are in Thrall, Hand Over Head, BrainSaw, Bullies, Pig Harvest. 16 collective works non stop. "
Listen to you, "WE are professional musicians" you play small clubs on rare occasions and all have day jobs. I don’t sit around and complain about anything. OMG I have a great life, so get off your fucking high horse thinking you’re any better than me. I was doing music in Austin Texas. Once again, let me correct you, YOU NEVER ever contributed anything to the God Bullies.
"We are going to go into the studio in April and record a NEW album that’s going to blow people out of the fucking water and I could give two FUCKS what it’s called but I’ll sure as shit tell you one thing asshole… YOU have zero say in that and we are going to tour the fuck out of it."
Great, then call it Thrall then, problem solved.
But Scotty Scotty Scotty, you do give two FUCKS what its called. You are so in love with the idea of becoming a real “God Bullies” it makes you act crazy look desperate & be very mean. I think you have whats called delusions of grandeur. You and your little buddies are soooo are falling for Mike Hards BS hoping of "making it big" you are willing to do anything, even steal. While doing it all on the backs of songs you had absolutely nothing to do with. You all must all be so proud of yourselves. I now assume none of you have any conscience and lack any integrity at all. Do NOT try to fraudulently pass off the music you recorded with David in the band "Pig Harvest" It has already been held out and promoted as "Pig Harvest" with absolutely No mention of God Bullies. And your sounding a bit narcissistic like the man you apparently hero worship. I’ve never had anything against you Scott until you've tried to steal my Art from me.
"Take your pathetic attempts to school me elsewhere motherfucker. I didn’t respond initially because you are doing just fine making yourself look like a joke. Because you are being childish and petty. You had EVERY opportunity. Yet you’ve done nothing about it."
I don't think it is petty to keep someone from stealing my Art from me. And I don’t think I’m looking childish, you my little man are looking desperate, scared and come off as very aggressive. Why did you instantly blocked me… What the hell was that all about? Oh I know what that was about, you instantly felt guilty and cold not defend your position. I’ve also had many people reach out to me, not on the stupid public message board, all agreeing 100% with me. They all know all too well who Mike Hard really is and I guess I'm getting to know who you really are.

The main reason for me publishing these correspondences is that Mike Hard and his long time band “Thrall” have chosen to illegally co-opt the God Bullies Trademark in an effort exploit its legacy in hopes of fulfilling their delusional dreams of hitting it big. And the truly sick fact is that on numerous occasions they’ve held out that they are doing it in the name and spirit of our fallen comrade, David Livingstone. Honestly, he must be rolling over in his grave!
From Scott Kodrik (Thrall’s guitarist) Facebook page. “We want to keep our brother and beloved band mate David B Livingstone’s music/spirit alive so this is for you David. That being said, GOD BULLIES are BACK!!!! See you soon”
Secondly, Mike Hard and his band Thrall have recently recorded a CD and plan on fraudulently release it calling it the God Bullies. A little back story here. The fact of the matter is that in 2002 the actual God Bullies (Adam Berg drums, Mike Corso Bass, Mike Hard Singer, David Livingstone guitar) have had a 10 song CD with all the drum and bass tracks recorded. All that was needed was for Livingstone and Hard to do guitar and vocal tracks to complete the project. You will see numerous times mentioned about completing that album. While finishing that album was mentioned many times, completing the God Bullies album was evidently never a top priority for either Livingstone or Hard. They were actually both in a couple different bands together through the years "They Never Sleep" and the most recent being a band called “Pig Harvest”. Now you would have to ask yourself, why didn’t they ever call themselves the God Bullies over the years? I think you will see through the messages that David Livingstone had integrity and honor who knew you don’t shit on your band-mates.
The following are some messages between David Livingstone and myself (Mike Corso) about things involving our band the God Bullies. Of course when messaging you often have a couple conversations going at the same time so I have done my best to concentrate on God Bullies related issues. I have underlined some of the more prevalent points. Please understand that we had many conversations over the phone addressing these same issues.
I know that after reading his messages you will quickly see, in my good friend David Livingstone own words, that he was quite done and over with the God Bullies and the drama that surrounded the band.
{from David Livingstone} 7/31/09, 1:09 PM
so, any plans to come to mich? believe it or not, pete davis wants to book god bullies shows. says there's demand for it. and hazelmeyer wants us to play the 25th anniv. amrep show (i think it's 25...) next summer. so there y'are. any interest? hope yer well and life is treating you good.
David
[from Mike Corso] 7/31/09, 7:36 PM
NOTE from Mike Corso. It has been 7 years since the bass & drum tracks were recorded.
I would love to do some Bullie shows. Maybe you guys could put the finishing touches on the last album we started to record. When and where does Davis think he can book us? And how much does it pay these days?
from David Livingstone} 3/15/10, 12:14 AM
Hey Mike, wanted to talk with you sometime reasonably soon about some GBs-related stuff....first off, have heard that Hazelmeyer's Amrep 25th anniversary thing in minneapolis tha twe are supposed to play at is on August 27...hope you're still down with that; if so, pencil it in...also, there is (again) discussion of doing the band again, & of course the only way this makes sense is if you are involved. I'm pretty iffy on the idea myself, but if an agreement can be hammered out that everybody (particularly you) would be happy with, I would be down with giving it a try. Obviously presents logistical probs. with the geographic distance involved & etc....in any event would be good to talk with you about this....I think adam is trying to get hold of you too. I THINK I have your number ...if I can find it I will try to give you a call tomorrow, but otherwise I'm at xxx-xxx-xxxx. Would like to fill you in on what's been talked about so far & get your thoughts. Meantime, hope you are good.…
[from Mike Corso] 3/16/10, 1:26 PM
Hey David, yea I heard there is a Amrep reunion and I would enjoy playing a GB show and possibly a small tour someplace. It might be fun and interesting to see what we could come up with in the way of new sounds. Of course there is still the unfinished GB album in the works we recorded before I moved to sunny Austin. I'm doing pretty good. I'm sure your life is full and even more rewarding now that you're a Father. Anyhow, give me a call xxx-xxx-xxxx Corso
[from Mike Corso]
Hey David, I spoke to Adam about the 9/11 gig. It looks like it wasn't as big as some gigs. He tells me that Kodric has a Halloween gig as long as he can play??? I hope the God Bullies isn't turned into "So you think you can be a God Bullies" sideshow. With that said, I'm hoping you can build a fire under the GB's ass's up there, put the time in necessary to get an EP put together out of the material already recorded. If you could give me a call real soon I would greatly appreciate it. Let me know what you think I can do from here to help get the GB project moving in a positive direction. IE: should someone be shopping around for record label? Start the Godbullies.com website? Do a video? Thanks, Corso
NOTE from Mike Corso: while I lived in sunny Austin Texas, I was always going to come up to play shows such as the Theater Bizarre show as the God Bullies. As soon as we committed to it I soon saw the show was being moved to some small club and told them to go ahead and do the show without me.
{from David Livingstone} 9/14/10, 11:02
NOTE from Mike Corso. I LOVE they way David let's you know how he feels about Scott Kodrik joining the God Bullies.
Hey Mike. Yeah, the 9/11 thing was sort of pathetic. Fun enough to play but not at all worth the drive. The Halloween gig is the Theater Bizarre thing that Hard has emceed every couple of years and played at a couple of times - TNS (They Never Sleep) did it year before last and we got the shit slot at three am. It was worthless and I hated it. This time it's supposed to be at 10pm or so, so should be better. Don't know how Kodrik got the hookup but somehow he did; Hard really wants to do it as it is his favorite gig/event of the year, so he probably would have agreed to having accompanying clowns and ukuleles. Told hard I'd play it as a favor to him cuz it meant so much or whatever.As to Kodrik playing: Don't know why he wants to, or if he thinks that he's somehow going to angle his way in to the band or some shit, but that crap's not happening. If he wants to come up and jam on a couple songs fine, whatever, but that's it.Latest is that he probably can't do it anyway because of some movie thing he's working on, so it probably is academic at this point. Talked to Hard earlier today and he suggested, of his own volition, trying to get Davis to get another show or two either side of it so that it would make sense for you to fly in for it. My own sense is that that would be futile, cuz davis doesn't want to do shit without 3 mos. lead time, and besides, there is nowhere within easy driving distance that it would be worth playing then. Only good aspect would be MAYBE getting some recording done, but we'd have to get some shit together first. My agenda at this point is to go back thru the tracks we have, start finishing those off, and then see what else we'd need to do to get a product done. As far as what you can do....think the biggest thing is just get yr bass rig together & ready to go, & if you've got any ability to start getting footage for video (burning buildings? krazy kristians? venemous reptiles? anything...)that would be very cool....am going to start getting a GBs site together, & if you've got photos/data that should be included that would be great....once it's done if you want to point godbullies.com at it, that would be cool (obviously, keep ownership of the name yerself....for reasons we've already discussed). Tried to call you a bit earlier tonight to talk in greater detail but no luck....try and catch you tomorrow sometime. meantime hope things is good.…
_____________________
NOTE form Mike Corso. As mentioned earlier Hard and Livingstone were in a couple bands together while the God Bullies recorded material sat unfinished. This is a discussion about the band “They Never Sleep” TNS.
{from David Livingstone} 9/17/10, 10:18 PM
Hi Mike, Rehearsal sucked. After wanting to start at 5, Adam was 45 mins. late, hard was an hour late, and adam was a whimpery little bitch the entire time, in a hurry to race through everything and leave, not wanting to play songs that he "knew", even though he fucked them up when we did play them. People steered studiously clear of discussing anything to do with Bullies, other than vagaries of wanting to record. Hard was more into talking about TNS recording soon. Whatever. Tomorrow, when there is no Karen present, we're going to sort this shit out. AGAIN. I am fucking tired of the bullshit, particularly from Adam. Yeah, maybe I should have a stab at the GBs page....I thought of that a while ago, but thinking about it was as far as I got, but as I remember the description was rather in need of add'l detail.... Will give you a shout on the morrow, probably in the later evening, or sunday....meantime take care.
{from David Livingstone} 10/24/10, 11:49 PM
well, wanted to let you know you didn't miss a thing. what a fucking pathetic joke that was. got seen by all of maybe 50 people. another bad idea poorly executed.
[from Mike Corso] 10/26/10, 1:06 AM
The Theatre Bizarre had the potential to attract some attention and possible new fans but when I saw the venue was changed I was happy I stayed here in sunny Austin. I'm working on being able to come up by early next year and tour if the situation calls for it. I hope you can get the rest of the band to focus on completing an EP.I was tempted to see if we could get in on the SXSW. What would your thoughts be on that? And could Peter Davis possibly book it for us? Tell Michele howdy for me and give Sovay a hug from uncle Mike. Corso
{from David Livingstone} 2/22/11, 12:52 PM
…….. Horrible Fest was as its name implies. Don't think I told you, but Hard/Berg decided to surprise me by bringing along a 2nd guitarist - the guy they're working with in their Mike Hard best-of thing. Think they expected me to spaz out or something. I took it as a matter of course, played the show, came home and haven't really talked to them since, nor do I expect to. The show was an under attended joke in a crap club - felt bad for the promotor; he lost his ass. It's a damn shame things are the way they are....were there some measure of loyalty, civility, or basic human decency there, it might've been possible to make something out of a reprised God Bullies and/or TNS. But in the absence of any sense of mutual regard/respect, it becomes impossible. I have had quite enough, I think…
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE from Mike Corso. The following was when we had a chance to play Grumpy’s in Minneapolis for the largest guarantee we ever had including airfare & motels. But getting Mike Hard to play the show was like pulling teeth.
[from Mike Corso] 9/8/11, 11:27 PM
Hey David, sound like your enjoying Beirut. How long you gonna be there? I bet you miss Sovay. I wish I could afford a trip abroad or even South America perhaps. What did you think of HAZE wanting to do another Bullies show in October? I know, the though of it brings back such wonderful memories.... Anyhow, I would be into doing it but I probably don't have as much going for me as you do. Take care my friend, Corso
{from David Livingstone} 9/10/11, 11:27 AM
NOTE from Mike Corso. David makes it quite clear that any lineup of the God Bullies that didn't include both of us "would be a rather sorry sight."
Hey man, quick reply cuz I'm in the middle of something - more soon. Here's what I wrote to tom: Hey Tom. Just saw yours/corso's note from before. The only reason I'd wanna do this is to see my MPLS friends, particularly yourself, and see Corso. As I am here in the ME at present I don't really have the ability to call up Hard/Berg to discuss, nor for that matter do I want to much. My bottom line is that given my schedule is clear when I get back home I would play the show as a one-off provided the lineup consisted of me, hard, berg, and corso (and maybe Tommy or Johnny). Bottom line is that if Corso's not in, I'm not in- and I would presume that any "God Bullies" that didn't contain both of us would be a rather sorry sight indeed. I'll leave it to Mike C. to connect with Hard/Berg and flash the idea on 'em, and I will go from there. Please know that the ONLY reason I am considering the absolutely ludicrous notion of diving back into that septic tank is because YOU are asking....it's because you're so very special! Aren't you lucky. Hope all is good w/ you, yours, & Grumpy's. Talk to you soon. D ....that about sums it up. talk to you soon.
[from Mike Corso] 9/10/11, 12:54 PM
Hey David. Yea, the only reason I would want to do it is to get out of the house and I do appreciate the fact that our fans really enjoy seeing us. As to the lineup, thanks for having my back. You, me Hard & Berg. Maybe Tommy although I shot him a messages and without going into detail he said "No Fucking Way". I really don't think we need Johnny. I'll run it by Hard and Berg and let ya know what's up. Have a good time and safe trip in Beirut. Later, Corso

Thanks mike. I don't think we need johnny, though I think we sound fine with him I don't really care. Did get a "No Fucking Way" message from Tommy - I appreciate that he stands on principle. ……….. In any event, as far as GBs shit go, I really have had enough of the fucking bullshit from those people .... it's just ridiculous. I'm pretty well sure they won't want to go for it, just because they're stubborn prats, and they'd rather blow the opp. than cave to you or me on anything. Whatever. Hope you are well. Talk to you soon. d

NOTE from Mike Corso. This next section goes back and forth about doing a legitimate show at Grumpy’s or the Fake Bullies shows going on in Columbus Ohio.
[from Mike Corso] 9/14/11, 1:00 PM
Hey David, I checked out Johnny's FB page and see he will be attending/playing the God Bullies show Oct 9th in Columbus. I was alright with TMHS "The Mike Hard Show" playing some GB's stuff but billing himself as the God Bullies just pisses me off! He said TMHS played Louise's in Kazoo but it wasn't the GB's crowd. NO SHIT cause you alone ain't the Fucking God Bullies! WTF! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=266733840016919
{from David Livingstone}
OK....I gotta think about this now. what the fuck. I'll get with you on it when I get home. there are some people I want to strangle right now.
[from Mike Corso]
Strangle the people you need to strangle. When you get home to Michigan? When will that be? I'm debating whether or when to purchase my airline ticket... message me later if you get a chance.
[from Mike Corso] 9/16/11, 4:15 PM
Hey David, I'm not sure if HAZE contacted you but he said $XXXX plus air-fair & possible bonus. I feel like flying in a week early and doing the show in Ohio.... When will you be back in the good ol' USA?
{from David Livingstone}
as far as I'm concerned, between you and me, i'm already sorry I said I'd do it. probably pretty stupid of me; if life goes at all well I'll be crazy busy with work by then. I am back in the US now, got home yesterday, still very exhausted and not at all coherent...
at this point frankly I'm not in a state to think rationally about whether the wk. before thing would be a good idea or not for me personally. when you told lme they'd booked that it made me really sick that I had allowed myself to get roped back into doing ANYTHING with them, even if for haze
{from David Livingstone}
so....let me think on it for a bit. I'm pretty damn disgusted and I want to wash my hands of all of it and forget that I was ever involved....turned out to be a massive multi-year waste of time that I could have better spent on other things. Tommy is way smarter than I am, that's certain.
{from David Livingstone}
my first thought is that , nah, let them go humiliate themselves in ohio being a tribute band; then, a week later, we play MPLS and show how it's REALLY done. then - as for me, over and out.
==========================================
{from David Livingstone} 10/4/11, 11:27 PM
NOTE from Mike Corso. This is us having fun dreaming of creating the ultimate band.
it occurred to me that it would be absolutely killer to record a new god bullies album with you, me, tony oliveri, and shannon selberg.
{from David Livingstone}
it would be a better band than the original, even.
{from David Livingstone}
actually....make it a band called "DogShow" that puts out an album called "God Bullies"
[from Mike Corso]
That would be a killer band. Lets just call it the God Bullies, after all we would have 3 real members and Hard's version only has 2. TRUMP!
==========================================
NOTE from Mike Corso. I wish I could still get this article “Will the real God Bullies please stand up?” and all the comments and hoopla that surrounded it but I think David Livingstone's response makes it perfectly clear he was NOT at all on board when it comes to Mike Hard using the God Bullies name in vain!
[from Mike Corso] 10/20/11, 1:18 PM
The Columbus paper ran a follow-up based on my note to them....Mr. Hard does not appear to be pleased. http://www.theotherpaper.com/entertainment/music/article_42a39976-fab9-11e0-aef2-001cc4c03286.html
{from David Livingstone}
Will the real God Bullies please stand up?
Here's the message I sent to Hard: Mike, 2 things: 1. Haze needs your mailing address to send you a travel reimbursement check. His email's xxxxxx@grumpys-bar.com. 2. I see that you've spoken with The Other Paper/Columbus RE my complaint to them that their article and/or the show's promoter had misrepresented your recent appearance as being a God Bullies reunion when in fact it hadn't been. It had been my assumption that persons other than yourself had been responsible for this, and hence it wasn't an issue between you and I, but rather a matter of sloppy journalism and/or misrepresentation on the part of the club. Corso had indicated to me that you told him that the people (presumably Paul) who booked the show had been responsible for effectively re-branding your current band as the God Bullies without your knowledge. Am I wrong about this? Let me know. David
[from Mike Corso]
I'm ding fine. I'll be back in KazoIo next week for my moms funeral.
Here is the response I posted to will the real God Bullies please stand up article.
Hello, I'm Mike Corso, Bass player in the God Bullies. Per your story "Will the real God Bullies please stand up?" Well I'm here and I'm standing up. While I got good chuckle out of your "Mixing '90s-style rock with political theater" article, referring to the band as Mike Hard and the reunited "GOD BULLIES" is the problem. I'm sure you can understand the indisputable amount of work & time it takes to build the "brand-name" and reputation of a band of the God Bullies notoriety. While the Mike Hard Band may play some God Bullies songs they also play many songs that have absolutely nothing at all to do with the God Bullies. Thus, they are NOT the God Bullies. For promoter Paul Bearer to make God Bullies the ONLY name on posters or his Facebook event page would certainly be deceiving to unsuspecting God Bullies fans and can only be considered fraudulent, and for that I am offended. I'm sure Mike Hard takes great pride in the Mike Hard Band and you'd think want it advertised as such. I was a bit taken back by Hard's "Whatever gets people in the door is my philosophy" as if to pass off a Mike Hard/God Bullies cover band as the actually God Bullies just to fill some seats is ok, well then, shame on you. I have no animosity towards Hard and only a gripe over the "Mixing '90s-style rock" article. While the REAL God Bullies did rock out both shows, Hard comments "...Columbus was better than the later shows with Livingstone and Corso..... neither of them are currently in a band or even practice their craft." As a long time friend of Hard's, I take that as an insult to me as a musician and entertainer. But that's the same ol', same ol' Mike Hard and I really don't even want to go there. Hey Mike Hard, practice my craft?? It's punk rock dude, I can play these songs in my sleep! I'll see ya'll at the next REAL God Bullies show! OMGB! Oh My God Bullies! Respectfully, a Real God Bullies member, Mike Corso
{from David Livingstone}
Bingo! ace reply.
{from David Livingstone}
tommy just wrote me a looooong thing about all this....will send along to you tomorrow, when I'm awake again
==========================================
[from Mike Corso] 10/21/11, 11:46 PM
NOTE from Mike Corso. David spells it out "between you, me and tommy, we wrote every single decent lick that that cunt has ever sang to" But now Hard wants to take his lack luster long standing band "Thrall" with a completely different sound and Re-Brand it as God Bullies? I don't think so!
Howdy David, I see Paul Bearer is advertising another pseudo God Bullies event. I took the liberty to send him the following message:
{from David Livingstone}
yeah I saw that.
[from Mike Corso]
DICKS
[from Mike Corso]
I know it really don't matter but I figure I will get a rise out of Paul and Hard
{from David Livingstone}
I started typing a long message about the "Fraud Bullies endless tour of Columbus," but didn't ultimately bother
[from Mike Corso]
fraud Bullies... thats a good one
{from David Livingstone}
I tried to keep it "classy"
{from David Livingstone}
between you, me and tommy, we wrote every single decent lick that that cunt has ever sang to - and now the well is dry....so it's one endless rerun from now on
[from Mike Corso]
yea we all know the truth
[from Mike Corso]
you should right up an article in your usual scathing manner.... Perhaps you can post it on the GB fan page and GB Blogspot
{from David Livingstone}
tired old whore
was thinking of that....all in good time
well, I'm gonna see if I get any reaction from Bearer
[from Mike Corso]
maybe I'll give Hard a call just to say howdy
[from Mike Corso]
I could use some more material
{from David Livingstone}
I didn't see what you typed to him....it did not come through
{from David Livingstone}
other than "dicks"
[from Mike Corso]
I'll send ya an email.
==========================================
{from David Livingstone} 11/23/11, 1:22 AM
NOTE from Mike Corso. The following shows how Adam Berg original drummer didn't want to do Fake Bullies and how Mike Hard suffers from delusions of grandeur.
hey, did you hear from Adam today? He called me and was gonna call you....pretty interesting...
he is evidently not down with this fake God Bullies shit and has been fighting with hard about it - called up basically to apologize & tell me so
[from Mike Corso]
He left a message the other day.
{from David Livingstone}
I was very surprised to hear that from him
[from Mike Corso]
no shit
{from David Livingstone}
evidently hard wants them to go to SXSW with it....for (get this) a guarantee of $150....
and Adam doesn't wanna
{from David Livingstone}
Hard is under delusions that if they go and play they'll get SIGNED / DISCOVERED
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha
{from David Livingstone}
that bitch just has no pride anymore
[from Mike Corso]
I'l have to give Adam a call tomorrow.
I'll give Hard a call as well and record it for prosperity's sake!
{from David Livingstone}
heh....
{from David Livingstone}
we can put up his "greatest hits" on the site
[from Mike Corso]
did you see Paul Barer's reply to my letter?
{from David Livingstone}
yes, written like a true crackhead
{from David Livingstone}
haven't responded to him yet. will get around to it
[from Mike Corso]
no shit...
[from Mike Corso]
you can tell he has drank of the "Its All About Mike Hard" Kool Aid.
{from David Livingstone}
can't give less of a fuck about him....he's always been worthless
[from Mike Corso]
If they play the SXSW I'll bring my gear and play.
{from David Livingstone}
they won't....big talk. paul pretending he's got hookups he doesn't have
[from Mike Corso]
Yea I know...
{from David Livingstone}
i do love the way hard's arrogance is already tearing his "new" band apart....pathetic fucking loser....i'm sorry I ever wasted a second of my time playing with that cunt. had I chosen differently 20+ years ago, he never would've made it out of kalamazoo - not that I singlehandedly "made" that band or anything, but the simple truth was that it was my actions that got his shitty voice on vinyl in the first place - a mistake I will forever be sorry for
[from Mike Corso]
I wish we would have left him in the dust when we played the shows without him. We should put out the last GB's album without Hard. You finish the guitar on the last album we did and we'll find a new singer.
[from Mike Corso]
Then sell the idea to the big label. $$$$
{from David Livingstone}
heh. would be divine justice.
[from Mike Corso]
Nobody would know the difference in the sound. I think we should do that. Really. I'll get more of HARD on recording to use for a song or 2.
Note from Mike Corso. This last message refers to me making recordings of Mike Hard’s phone calls when I was trying to line up the last show we played at Grumpy’s It was largest guarantee that we were ever paid including airfare and motels and Hard didn’t want to work with Livingstone and was being being an absolute ass about everything. Don’t worry, no laws were broken, Texas is a one party state. I need to dig that tape out…..
==========================================
[from Mike Corso] 3/7/12, 1:23 AM
NOTE from Mike Corso. Mike Hard did play the SXSW but NOT as the God Bullies.
How be it Mr. Livingstone? Shiny Grey Monotone just posted MP3 of the Grumpy's show. Of course I'll be seeing Mr. Hard and Thrall here in sunny Austin TX. Tell everyone howdy!
[shiny grey monotone]: god bullies - 8.28.10 - grumpy's – minneapolis,mn
==========================================
NOTE from Mike Corso. This was hilariously tragic. The “Mike Hard Show” live streaming from PJ’s Lager House.
[from Mike Corso] 3/11/12, 4:11 AM
Aren't you watching the Mike hard Show massacre God Bullies songs? http://livedetroit.tv/BarPops/PJsLagerHouse/BarM_PJsLager.html
{from David Livingstone}
watched a few, got bored
{from David Livingstone}
packing them in, I see
[from Mike Corso]
its sad....
[from Mike Corso]
its to bad he feels the need to flog the dead...
[from Mike Corso]
all but one song has been GB's..…
[from Mike Corso]
damn they just sound horrible
{from David Livingstone}
that guy is th eleast inspired guitarist i've ever heard.
{from David Livingstone}
damn, hard must really miss the GBs.
[from Mike Corso]
I know.. poor guy.
{from David Livingstone}
Lager House....sheez
[from Mike Corso]
Why doesn't he just start a new band for Christ sake
[from Mike Corso]
it looks like the may have ran out of GB's songs
==========================================
NOTE from Mike Corso. Here is another attempt from Livingstone to get Hard to write lyrics for the unfinished God Bullies album from 12 years ago. I think mister Livingstone’s comment from where I stand, a nice way to pound nails into the coffin says it all.
{from David Livingstone} 4/5/14, 12:25 AM
so I've been talking to hard again
[from Mike Corso]
whats the word.
{from David Livingstone}
and we have observed that we still have a bullies album to finish and it is the 25th anniv of release of mamawombwomb
so if there was ever a point at which it would be good to put the sucker out, this would be it
[from Mike Corso]
No better time then.
{from David Livingstone}
so i have just given him a whole bunch of files
to listen to, learn/make up lyrics for, and we're gonna see what he comes up with and get it done
[from Mike Corso]
I'm transferring some videos of the band. Good shit with all the smoke and lights and we even sound good.
{from David Livingstone}
but if you were up here in the summer and we could actually play a few shows or some shit....now that'd be cool.
{from David Livingstone}
from where I stand, a nice way to pound nails into the coffin
[from Mike Corso]
I'd be up for it. I have a big hammer I'll bring and maybe this time we can kill the beast.
{from David Livingstone}
heh!
{from David Livingstone}
the songs are good, and i think it would be a good album wehn it's done
and I have digitized all the tracks I have from the old 8 tracks now. I have ALMOST everything we recorded
[from Mike Corso]
Besides the Mike Hard band need some new tunes to play. NOT!
{from David Livingstone}
seems like the curtain is coming down on that
{from David Livingstone}
besides, the mike hard band never could figure out how to play TNS tunes....evolution stopped at thrall
[from Mike Corso]
Yea.. No shit.
==========================================
{from David Livingstone} 6/10/14, 1:11 AM
Hey sorry, I'll get that fucking file made...sorry
[from Mike Corso] 6/7/14, 9:48 PM
Hey, I know your busy with being daddy an all. You've both done a wonderful job raising a bright little girl. Get it to me when you can. I'm just interested in hearing the songs that I never got any copy of. I'm hoping my place sells quick. I'm looking forward to be back in Kazoo for a short time but still want to make Austin my home. I would love to do some GB's with you all.
{from David Livingstone}
Thank you Mike. We've been lucky - Sovay has chosen to be a pleasant child. It makes life much easier. Being as how this is the 25th anniv. of the release of "Dog Show," it seems to me that if there ever were a good time to bang a final few nails in GB's coffin, this is it....I will get that stuff to you. It all sounds quite good really. Will be better with real guitars/ vox....with luck it will happen.
==========================================
{from David Livingstone} 6/20/14, 12:39 AM
did I tell you I 've been jamming with Hard's band?
it's pretty funny
adam walked out again.…
[from Mike Corso]
Yea I saw they said you were going to be a special guest.
the shit just never changes does it.
{from David Livingstone}
I told them I'd help them come up with some tunes
{from David Livingstone}
yeah, that was optimistic on their part. didn't make it
they want me to come out saturday but I'm busy
but I'll go jam with them and drink beer once a week....gets me out of the house
[from Mike Corso]
you need to get out of the house.
{from David Livingstone}
hard is using the rehearsals to make up lyrics for the shit we recorded so we can finish it
try and get this album thing out
[from Mike Corso]
I need to give you a call one of these days to talk about whats up.
==========================================
{from David Livingstone}10/21/14, 12:26 AM
Hello Mike. How are you?
[from Mike Corso]
Hey David, I'm doing well. I worked as an election judge for early voting today.
{from David Livingstone}
that's a good thing to do.
[from Mike Corso]
I see you checked out the Color of Noise...
{from David Livingstone}
I just returned from a mike hard show practice, at which Mr. Hard elected not to show up. 🙂
{from David Livingstone}
yeah....it was fucking good.
amazingly so.
[from Mike Corso]
Hard.... some things never change
{from David Livingstone}
indeed
==========================================
{from David Livingstone} 10/21/14, 12:26 AM
……….thinking about god bullies....i think it would be cool if we got those songs done, but then maybe did something other than just music....seriously, why not make a little film or something? not that there's money in it - but it would get some attention by virtue of name recognion, and could just be pretty cool.
[from Mike Corso]
A little film would be wonderful. The making of the album?? Or just some crazy nonsense I'm up for it. I have some really cool footage of us on VHS. What ever it is count me in.
==========================================
{from David Livingstone} 2/3/15, 11:31 PM
I have a stupid question, based on a stupid idea, but I feel I must ask it: what are your thoughts about finishing that god bullies stuff/doing more GBs stuff/doing something with Tony (and shannon if he's down)?
I still want to finish that crap. and I would not mind doing something new of some kind
though i would expect anything involving hard/berg to be temporary and tumultuous at best
[from Mike Corso]
That would be fine with me. Almost preferable.
{from David Livingstone}
i would like to do the stuff with you and oliveri, period.
and figure it would be a good reason to road trip to MPLS.
and I have no doubt we could get haze to put out a "cow bullies" single if the songs were good. which of course they would be
{from David Livingstone}
it would be good to do stuff w/ you, and with him.... 2 people I actually get along with
{from David Livingstone}
would like to finish up the GBs stuff because the timing is fortuitous - possible cows reunion in the offing, Babes in Toyland and L7 touring - seems the year for doing something, if it is ever to be done
[from Mike Corso]
a Cows reunion OH BOY!
timing is everything
{from David Livingstone}
yep...."talks are underway" but keep it quiet.... the 2nd disc of Cunning Stunts demos that I did is coming up too.
[from Mike Corso]
Mum's the word
{from David Livingstone}
cool.
{from David Livingstone}
cows reunion would be so awesome.... saw shannon sing with hepatitus last summer, with Freddie Votel, so 3/4 of cows -- it was great.
[from Mike Corso]
I'm looking forward to doing some music. You, Tony and Shannon would be pretty sweet.
{from David Livingstone}
I think it would be hilarious.
[from Mike Corso]
I'm laughing
{from David Livingstone}
i can see doing live stuff, then putting out MP3s of both cows and god bullies covers and doing them better than the origionals and pissing everyone off
[from Mike Corso]
but with you not at you!
{from David Livingstone}
"Live Sex" sung by selberg
imagine the meltdown that woudl happen
[from Mike Corso]
Keep talking... I'm getting aroused. LOL
{from David Livingstone}
it would cause some people to just lose their shit with envy
[from Mike Corso]
the thought of it is very exciting.
{from David Livingstone}
I think so too. esp. since i have decent recording gear these days
relatively speaking
[from Mike Corso]
get ahold of those cats. Lets make this happen.
{from David Livingstone}
cool. I'm on it.
==========================================
{from David Livingstone} 1/27/16, 11:32 PM
Hey Mike. Hope you're doing well. we have to talk soon....there are plans afoot for God Bullies re-releases via AmRep. Talk maybe this weekend?
[from Mike Corso]
o funny
{from David Livingstone}
yeah, no kidding
[from Mike Corso]
ok... i just got a beer... whats up
{from David Livingstone}
but what the hell. why not. not like we have to do anything.
Haze is reissuing a bunch of stuff in batches - cows, melvins, us, HOF, other amrep "classic" releases in limited edition vinyl/CD. probably with his artwork. 50/50 profit split.
[from Mike Corso]
I'll be in Austin till April
{from David Livingstone}
next batch is set for may....we'd probably be after that
[from Mike Corso]
I'm down for whatever.
[from Mike Corso]
I would just like to be a part of it. Ans I have a few ideas.
{from David Livingstone}
no new material, though I might need to mix Mamawombwomb again if the masters can't be found. maybe a release show in MPLS is what I can see coming of it, if that.
if we do more around that, itd be cool with me... hard seems on board, based on a 30 sec phone call. haven't talked to adam and don't know how to reach him - will prob. have to go through hard for that
of course!
dunno yet if he's talking one album, two, or all 3, or about whether they'd all be at once or spread out over time or what
{from David Livingstone}
even if we don't actually play/do anything, want to make sure that everybody gets their checks, however paltry they turn out to be
NOTE from Mike Corso. Livingstone did pay me and I got my share of CD;s and albums, I picked them up at a Santa Clause show in Detroit and got to sit in with the Mike Hard Show and play “What are you Looking for”. I have to say AMREP always paid us and David Livingstone is an honest gentleman. Now I’m still waiting for any payment at all for the Kill The King album from Alternative Tentacles…. I’m wondering if the payment was ever made to anyone???
{from David Livingstone}
so want to make sure everyone knows what's up
[from Mike Corso]
count me in.
==========================================
{from David Livingstone} 8/11/17, 11:24 AM
Hey David, I went to the Club Soda reunion the other night at the Old Dog and had a great time. The folks who put it on said the God Bullies were last year and this year the most requested band they want playing. I think we should look into doing the Club Soda reunion next year. I know it's a long ways away, just putting it out there. I may be coming to your side of the state soon to visit my stepson. I'll look you up. I hope all is well with you and yours.
{from David Livingstone}
I'd be willing to do it, I supposed, but I have doubts that A) Hard/Berg could stand to be in the same room long enough to even run through the songs; B ) that either would be willing to play for free, since proceeds go to some charity or other. It's funny how much nostalgia there is for that band. while I was keen to consider exploiting it at one point ("reunion album" or shows) it seems more and more that it's probably best, generally speaking, to let it be other peoples' nice memory... there was something special there once, but I doubt that much of it's there now. A one-off thing like the Club Soda reunion thing would probably be a good way to draw a line under it once and for all.
it has not escaped my attention that approximately 30 years ago right now was when we started recording that first single.
[from Mike Corso]
If we finished the last recording and put together some videos along with everything we ever put out for the Box Of Bullies that gets released at the Club Soda reunion then that might be fun. But Yeah it's probably best just to let the memory of the GB's be just that a wonderful memory. It would be fun for maybe the first practice.... Let me know what the address's of your rentals are. I may even want to buy them on land contract. I won't be at the B-Day party as I had plans to go to Martin Dragway with friends.
==========================================
Conclusion from Mike Corso. So at the time of this last message it’s been 15 years since the God Bullies bass and drum tracks for the album was recorded….. Mike Hard never stepped up to the plate to do his part in completing what should have been a really great album. But now, with Thrall barely bringing in any audience, last year I was at a show in God Bullies hometown of Kalamazoo and maybe 20 people showed up. I did ask the members of Thrall (Scott Kodrik, Pat O'Harris, Cliff Carinci) why the hell they've allowed Mike Hard to relegate Thrall to a God Bullies cover band when they have good songs of their own. They all giggled but of course there was never any mention of Re-Branding Thrall into the God Bullies. I believe with unfortunate passing of our good friend David Livingstone to put the kibosh to this nonsense, Mike Hard, being the human pile of Shit that he has turned into, is now brave enough to make his move to Fuck over his remaining band-mates and leave a shit stain on God Bullies legacy. If you were friends with David Livingstone and go to one of these FAKE God Bullies shows, then you might as well take a drive to the cemetery where David is buried and Piss on his Grave because you were never his true friend.
