 Killdozer (bulldozer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Killdozer has been used as a nickname for the armored bulldozer constructed by Marvin Heemeyer and used to demolish a significant portion of Granby, Colorado in the United States of America on June 4, 2004.
Heemeyer's Killdozer was a Komatsu D335A bulldozer (some sources say it was a Caterpillar D9, but local newspapers are specific on the model) fitted with makeshift armor plating covering the cabin, engine and parts of the tracks.
On April 19, 2005, it was announced that the Killdozer was being taken apart for scrap metal.

Having exhausted that shtick, however, Killdozer returned to exhume their real roots — on the wrong side of the tracks in one of the few American burgs to have fallen under Socialist rule this half-century.
That's a plus, because Killdozer is more effective when lumbering along slowly enough to make a novice check the stereo's power supply.
The Killdozer that broke a lengthy silence with the agitprop-sleeved Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat has a new lineup (guitarist Paul Zagoras has supplanted Bill Hobson, whose brother Dan still holds court from the drum throne) and a philosophical shift.

Killdozer is a Caterpillar (D6-8) D9 type bulldozer fitted with makeshift armor plating covering the cabin, engine and parts of the tracks, thus making the machine impervious to small arms fire and resistant to explosives.
For visibility, Killdozer was fitted with three cameras linked to three monitors mounted on the vehicle's dashboard.

Now, I used to be very much the Killdozer man. Even wrote a rock opera for them once ("Wisconsin Death Trip," based on Michael Lesy's book), from which they recorded, but never released, a bunch of songs, telling me that they just weren't satisfied with the way they turned out.
Whenever I put on one of their records, she'd lie down in front of the speakers and wouldn't move again until the album was finished.
While Killdozer kept doing the same thing record after record (though, admittedly, doing it better each time around), Swans shifted, evolved, changed dramatically, alienated their diehard fans, took steps forward and back and crossways.

 Killdozer (1974) Robert Urich, Neville Brand, Clint Walker
Cases of dynamite and barrels of fuel are no match for the killer machine, and after some disappointingly cheap pyrotechnic effects the camp is in shards and the bulldozer is still none the worse for wear.
In one of the film's rare and truly well-framed shots (well, all right, the only one) KILLDOZER ascends a hill to tamp out a signal fire the crew has set, and the machine actually looks quite Satanic as it rises up behind the flames with its huge blade lifted skyward.
KILLDOZER then taunts the group by pushing a load of gravel over the cliffside at the mourners, grazing Dennis and pissing him off some ("Pain makes me snide!") before descending to chase the trio away from the makeshift graveyard.

Killdozer is a movie whose title has become a punchline to many.
Killdozer is the kind of title you can just throw out there amongst a group of movie fans and probably get a laugh or at the very least a double take.
Despite having a place in the bad movie vernacular, Killdozer is really a crushing bore of a film that never lives up to the cheesiness its title and premise promise.

A Madison, WI, trio renowned for their brutal, distorted country blues sound and smirking anti-intellectual stance, Killdozer [+] formed in 1983 around vocalist/bassist Michael Gerald [+], guitarist Bill Hobson [+], and his drummer brother Dan.
The group issued their debut LP, Intellectuals Are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite [+], just a year later, quickly establishing both their menacing swamp rock sound as well as a lyrical outlook virulently attacking social and political malaise while celebrating life on the wrong side of the tracks.
Upon signing to the Touch and Go label, Killdozer [+] returned in 1985 with the primal Snake Boy [+]; the Burl [+] EP -- a collection of ominous, sludgy folk tunes topped off by a cover of Jessi Colter [+]'s "I'm Not Lisa" -- followed the next year.

Michael Gerald was the normal skinny clean-shaven guy with the big growling bearded voice of Killdozer, one of the original "grunge" bands back before Nirvana and Pearl Jam changed the meaning of the word.
For ten years or so, Wisconsin's Killdozer (Gerald and two men named Hobson) played loud, heavy and slow music with lots of guitar distortion and lyrics inspired by the foibles and problems of the Middle American everyman.

After 1989's For Ladies Only -- an all-covers collection deconstructing hits ranging from Deep Purple's "Hush" to the James Gang's "Funk #49" to Don McLean's "American Pie" -- Bill Hobson left the band on the eve of a European tour, and was replaced by Halo of Flies guitarist (and Amphetamine Reptile label chief) Tom Hazelmyer.

 Marvin Heemeyer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
On the afternoon of 4 June 2004, Heemeyer decided to put his plan into action, and took the finished killdozer on a long, lumbering joyride through the concrete plant, the town hall, and several businesses and homes before becoming stuck in the rubble of a collapsed warehouse.
By that time, the killdozer was surrounded, and a swat team was firing bullet after bullet at the hull of the beast, only to see the shots ricochet off pitifully while Heemeyer, armed with a rifle, returned fire.
Heemeyer's attack, though premeditated, apparently had nothing to do with the 1974 TV movie Killdozer, directed by Jerry London and based on a book by Theodore Sturgeon; or, for that matter, the band Killdozer.

And personally, I could give a dog's hairy pink thing whether you find him entertaining as long as you acknowledge that Killdozer were much more than just a guy with a funny voice; their music was phenomenal, too.
See, most folks have never heard of Killdozer because most folks rely on MTV to keep them posted on all the "new music" out there, when, of course, MTV is just a commercial network for the major labels, who wouldn't know a creative band if it came up and bit them in the vas deferens.
In fact, the first Killdozer track I ever heard is on here; it's called "Man Vs. Nature" and it still floors me every time.

We are introduced to the whole gang, Chud, Dutch, Al and finally Dennis, who due to the extra syllable in his name, is smarter than the rest and thusly we expect him to save the crew from the D-9 (denying) Bulldozer.
As the D-9 (denying) has now been transformed into a KILLDOZER, it begins stalking our crew, separating them from the pack, killing them off, deliberating, slowing and painfully methodically until, in a scene reminiscent of Kubrick's PATHS OF GLORY, there is a stand off.
