As far as I can remember I wanted to be a musician or race something. There were so many really good musicians in memphis back then.The most influential memphis musicians to me was Steve Ingle,Jimmy Rusidoff and Jack Holder. I am so fortunate to have been friends with them and all the others.Favorite guitar players were Gary Moore,George Lynch,Brad Gillis, Dave Meniketti, and Tony Macalpine.I am a huge Alice Cooper fan and got to see them on there billion dollar babies tour and Y @ T is one of my all time favorite bands but there is so many others i can name.I love Heavy Metal mostly.I love racing,Italian food and Italian woman why not Im Italian.
------------------------------MEDIEVAL STEEL---------------------------------------
I was friends with Bill Jones and was introduced to his cousin Chuck Jones. We searched and found Bobby Franklin and Ron Beranato and then the brainstorm of Medieval Steel happened.In my opinon i believe was the best lineup of Medieval Steel.We played everything from judas priest to iron maiden and original music.Cobra was a band that helped us out alot i really enjoyed playing alot of shows with them.I ended up quiting the band right after we finished the ep.It was a something i regretted even up to this day.They were pissed when i left and i dont blame them but we are all friends still and they are my brothers.As far as the music on the first ep to set the record straight the song Medieval Steel was written by Bobby Franklin and Ricky Triolo and the song Warlords was written by Ricky Triolo.Battle Beyond The Stars was written by Bobby Chuck and Ricky.But it doesnt say that on the ep which is like i said they were kinda pissed at me for leaving.So they cut me out of the songwriting.
MORE TO COME WITH MUSIC FROM LOOKER AND SOME MEDIEVAL STEEL THAT SOME NEVER HEARD UNLESS YOU SAW THE BAND.
