I would say Mick’s mission was given to him by God’s angels, the Tooters, as it was given because of his connections to the occult as well as the fact that he was considered by the media and fans and more as the most reprobate member of the prodigal band, including the fact that he had been bisexual and hung out with supposed Satanists. Further, when the angel gave him the mission message while the singer held his final song note at that local music festival in July, 2000, that angel “spewed fire” in disgust as he spoke (from Chapter Ten of The Prophesied Band, © 1998 Deborah Lagarde). The angel’s message is below:
None of the six were more shaken than Mick, who shivered mightily in his clothes as Tooter One, with a voice that could spew brimstone, helped the lanky one recount his many acts of perversion: pagan worship, leading your occultist Druid Family cult, promoting and loving the satanic singer, Adam Bloodlove.
“Even so, you have finally seen some of the error of your ways and are thus entitled to complete your mission. One, continue to mend your sinful lifestyle. As you do this, we, The Tooters of The Creator, charge you with making your fellows in perversion see their own errors. As well as you can, lead the fornicators and pagan worshipers to the One True God. Your mission completion will help Him weigh the rest of your life in the balance. We hope you will not be found wanting.”
Of course, all six band members had to mend their sinful lifestyles, but most folks would see Mick’s as the most sinful. And what better way to repent of these sins than convince those of like sinful lifestyles to repent as well. A good example of Mick carrying out this mission is convincing the leader and front man of an avowed death metal/satanic rock band (whose recordings were produced by Mick on the record label he’d helped found) to “repent” so-to-speak. The band is called DisCord , and the leader is called Ace (aka “Black Shadow”), the singer-front man.
Some background info: By 2002, Mick had married the only woman he had ever dated back in his teen years, named Julie (meaning, he was no longer bisexual or gay). Mick read an article in an alt-media magazine called X-Zine that Ace was trying to recruit another death metal-type band from Mick’s home city of Walltown called the Crood, whose front man, Riley, was a cousin of prodigal band bassist Keith. Just as former sex mate Ally tried to get Mick to join a satanic secret society called the Hellyons (which he did join for a short time, then quit), Ace, a Hellyons member, was trying to do the same thing to that fellow rocker. Thus Mick felt impelled to get Ace to relent on this ‘mission’ by carrying out part of his own ‘mission of God.’ The snippet below is from Chapter Seventeen of The Prodigal Band (© 2018 Deborah Lagarde):
Mick’s mission to a satanic singer, November, 2002
Mick had married Julie in July, 2002, in a ceremony at Victoria Park led by an unaffiliated Christian minister. He lounged in his Highland Park, Walltown, living room, reading the alternative pop culture mag, X-Zine. The article stated his protégé, Ace, front man of death metal band DisCord, was trying to get the Crood, Keith’s cousins’ band, into the Hellyons during Ace’s Hallowe’en party at Mick’s old Holyhope castle. While reading, he considered his particular mission to turn paganists to Christ. And just as he considered this, a thought came into his head.
So Ace is trying to get the Crood into the Hellyons, looks like. That’s what Ally and them did with me, and it worked. Me and him need to discuss this, methinks, so I need to see the guy. And I left some recordings at my studio there I forgot to take out when I moved.
Ace, the latest rock superstar known to Hellyons as ‘Black Shadow,’ had bought Mick’s Holyhope castle earlier that year.
After Mick got the recordings he was searching for, he and Ace sat together on top of Mick’s old Crag-Dwellers altars, sharing a blunt.
“That party you had, eh, sounded like a bash for the ages.”
“And I would have invited you, Mick—”
“But now that I’m married, eh? That’s okay, Ace, if you didn’t. I get it. And it’s interesting what you got Riley to do.”
Riley, the Crood’s singer, was one of Keith’s cousins. “Like, are you trying to get him into the Hellyons or what?”
So what do you care, Mick, if I am?
“Look, Mick, all I told Riley was that if he really wanted the Crood to make it huge like DisCord is—like you guys are—that it would help if he and the rest of the Crood joined the Hellyons. I mean, Mick, this isn’t the 90s anymore. The 90s—you guys, mainly—got the rave up going again and the raunchy antics and the cussing at gigs and all that. So that now, it’s if you don’t do those rave up antics and hard and heavy metal and cussing and stuff, you won’t make it! You guys set the tone, and DisCord ran with it, and now the Crood is likely gonna ramp it up a bit.”
“So what you tell Riley? Get naked on stage or what?”
Toke, then handed it to Mick. “I even told him they could be good boys on stage, if that was what they wanted to do and the fans wanted it. Don’t go saying I told them to get naked!”
Passed the blunt back and forth.
“So it sounds to me like you saying that if they don’t join the Hellyons, they ain’t making it big. That if they ain’t naughty on stage and cuss in songs, they ain’t making it big. Which you know damned well is bullshit.”
“No it’s not, Mick. That’s what Mark—” Shit! I wasn’t gonna mention that!
“Mark Besst? Of the World Community Artists Foundation? You do know he poisoned Neville Banner, eh?”
Sheepish.
“So Mark Besst, a bloody murderer, is telling you to tell the Crood that if they don’t join the Hellyons, they ain’t making it? So when did that piece of shit get to decide who makes it in show biz?”
“That’s what he told me, okay?” Agitated.
“And you agree with that?” Got off the altar and bounded to Ace, wanting to confront him. “I didn’t see you guys joining the Hellyons until after you guys already made it! And none of us ever told you guys to join the Hellyons.”
“It’s different now.”
“Bullshit! It’s always what that ‘Do what you want’ guy said right? A hallmark of the Hellyons, satanic churches, whatever. Well, bloody shit, if one can do what they ‘want’ then they can also not do what they want not, right? So that if you can do what you want, then you can also not do what you don’t want!” And then Mick remembered a saying Jack had told him many years before. “Just how wet behind the ears are you?”
Ace jumped off the altar at Mick’s feet. “That is what Mark Besst told me, okay? He told me that from now on, if a rock band in Britain wanted to make it big, they had to join the Hellyons.”
But then he backed off a bit, feeling a truth coming on.
“Well—not really. The band should get to decide, right? We, DisCord, wanted to join it. And I hope the Crood does, but I don’t think they should be forced to do it.” Looked at Mick sincerely, honestly. “But they might not make it big if they don’t.”
“Did you tell Riley that?”
“I told him that if they joined the Hellyons they’d make it big, especially if they joined the Slake and then the Inner Sanctum.”
Well, DisCord as far as I know are all in the Slake. “But did you tell Riley that if they didn’t join the Hellyons they would not make it big?”
“No. I just told him they needed to join the Hellyons.”
“So you never told him what would happen if they didn’t join the Hellyons.”
“Yeh.” Crestfallen. “I should have.”
“Exactly.” Slapped Ace on his shoulder. “But that’s okay, because I already warned them about joining the Hellyons, meaning do not join the Hellyons.”
“But they might.”
“That’s up to them, eh? But really, Ace, you should have told them what you told me, that if they didn’t join the Hellyons they wouldn’t make it big.”
Fell against an altar, slumped over in shame. “I should have.”
“But you didn’t.” Mick sat next to him on the altar. “Because you don’t believe it either, eh? Because it isn’t true. Mark Besst does not control the planet like he thinks he does. If he did, Erik would be dead.”
“Huh?” Ace twitched around facing Mick. “What the hell you mean by that? Mark tried to kill Erik?”
“Yeh. Mark and Torquay and them, the Hellyons, like last July, bagged us up at Joe’s hotel, needled a potion into all six of us, tied us up and brought us into Torquay’s dungeon, and they were gonna sacrifice all of us.”
“What!?” Ace shouted in terror as he fumbled himself off the altar and backed away from Mick, scared now.
“Yeh, Ace. Your buddy Mark Besst nearly killed my band mate with a sword, and missed, from like three or four inches away.” Mick then approached Ace as he continued to back away. “And you want to know why he missed from three inches away?”
All Ace could do was mutter, “Um—um—um—”
“He missed, Ace, because God—not Satan, not Corion, not Mark Besst—is in control! You do know that God controls Satan, eh? You do know that when Jesus Christ was on a mountain, Christ told Satan to worship God, and only God, and to get behind Him as well. Meaning, get right with God. And, Ace, your buddy Mark and your so-called god, Satan, ain’t God, okay? It was God that kept Erik from being impaled.”
Then got right in Ace’s face as the DisCord singer slammed against the wall.
“It was God that took us outta the jet before the bomb went off. It was God that got us all outta the dungeon before we were sacrificed to Satan. It was God that kept us all safe when all that shit was going on. And you want to know why we all accepted Christ as Savior?”
All Ace could do was hyperventilate in shock.
Still in Ace’s face, but softer speech now. “That’s the thing with God and Christ, Ace. With Them, you have a choice. When God saved us right before the bomb went off, and the bomb was under Bry’s seat, eh, He gave us a choice, to accept Christ and the mission we on, or not. We had a choice, and we accepted Christ. Erik was the first of us. And then the rest of us did. So after we made a choice, we got put back on the jet—”
No way would Mick just make all this up! Ace listened in wonder.
“—and survived the jet burn. Then we found out from Joe that there was no Directorate meeting, but a Hellyon meeting instead. That Directorate meeting letter we all got was a ruse. They wanted us over here to sacrifice us if we didn’t take the Oath to Satan as Corion. Oh, and Mark is inhabited by Corion, like Cole Blessing was, like Swami Negran was. But they would have sacrificed us at some point anyway! And that’s the truth, Ace. Even if you take the Oath if you join the Inner Sanctum, they might still sacrifice you anyway. Why? Because Satan is the ultimate deceiver. But if God commands Satan to not kill someone he wants to kill, then he won’t. Because God is in control. That was why Mark could not kill Erik. And guess what? Since Mark could not kill Erik, Mark did the next best thing and killed Marty Effingchester, the Prince and Princess of Leandro, your friends Drew and Ally and Melanie and Rodney Davis and Mr. X and Mr. Y. I was there, Ace, and I ain’t making that up!”
“So Mark Besst tried to kill Erik for no reason.”
Mick then backed off as Ace hung his head.
“And killed your friends Ally and Melanie and Drew and Rod Davis. For no reason, other than the man is possessed by an evil spirit who will stop at nothing to get his way. Now from what you said he commanded you to get the Crood into the Hellyons, right?”
“Yeh.” Still in shame, for he knew what was coming.
“Well guess what, Ace? You might be next, eh? Because unlike God where you have a choice, with Satan, you don’t have a choice! You do what they say, or they whack you, or they destroy your career. They’ll either kill you or screw you over big time. And they’ll do it to all your band. And if you’re a Hellyon already? Doesn’t matter, they’ll get you anyway. ‘Do what you want,’ eh? More like ‘do what we want, or else!’ It’s all deception, Ace, all illusion.”
“But—”
“No ‘buts,’ Ace! I mean, if they could pull their shit on Sound Unltd—you know, the world’s leader in per-unit sales?—they can pull it on anyone. And they couldn’t do it successfully, because God wouldn’t allow it. Now get that through your head, Ace.”
While I do not state for sure that Ace and his band did turn to Christ, later in the chapter Satan-Corion’s minion Mark Besst would get scolded over the fact that Ace and the band would not carry out Corion’s agenda for them. They would eventually leave the satanic Hellyons.
The next in this series will be in early October, but I have not decided yet which band member will be featured.
