30 Years Ago: D.R.I. release Definition

During the Four of a Kind and Thrash Zone years, we were doing pretty good. We reached a certain point where we weren't getting any higher and lower, so for Definition, we decided to open for a lot of bands - like Ice-T & Body Count and Testament. We lost a lot of money because we were trying to get a new audience, but it was a good way to introduce DRI to a lot of people who hadn't heard us before. Opening for Testament, we got to play for a lot of metal crowds, and then with Body Count, we played for more. I guess straight hard rock fans. And it worked out good because I think Definition is our biggest selling album ever.
