Written by Richie Brazz, still my good friend after all these years! Again now it's time for him to show his influences: Dio, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden... Richie founded the band and I was the last member recruited. I was fresh off the plane from Paris France, where I had spent my teenage. I was a journalist for a French metal magazine, hung out with stars. I had spent weeks on tour with the Monsters of rock in Europe. Befriended Motley Crue, got my head shaved by Ozzy Osbourne, was humiliated by him and Dave Lee Roth of Van Halen on the last night of the tour but was saved from this mess by Kimo, bodyguard of Ronnie Dio and future bodyguard of Poison. Kimo died in 1987 in LA. I was living there at the time. a great guy. Ronnie Dio is also a true gentleman. Lots of people in the industry remember this incident and I am still occasionally teased by people who were there. Like Tommy Lee or Claude Schnell of Dio, or Eddie Van Halen or Brian Johnson from AC-DC, or many others who were working on the various crews. Some people like drummer Tommy Aldridge, would never ever play with Ozzy again. He was a terrible man back then...
