Connelly was a former roadie of the thrash metal band Anthrax. He was a close friend of Anthrax bassist Danny Lilker. He jammed with the band a few times but never actually joined as he was not a qualified enough singer at the time. He formed the band Nuclear Assault in 1983, and Danny Lilker joined him soon after.
