Metal Sludge Gossip Board

I'm listening to the Heavy Bones album. It is cheesy but not a horrible album. Frankie's drums sound great.

But what is the story behind this band? I googled it but couldn't find a good answer.

Was this one of those bands who were put together by a label that was trying to make a supergroup? Like Cleopatra did for years buy just assembling known names from the 80s.

Or were they an actual band that formed on their own, wrote songs, and then got a record deal?

Interesting.....so it was essentially a solo band that he put together, and then they signed as a band.

Thanks for the link!

4 AM Tm is great, rest of album is so so.

Cats in Boots on the other hand is awesome. Everyone has that band they think should have been huge. Cats in Boots is mine.

Couple of great songs, bunch of okay tunes. Solid album, great playing by Gary Hoey. Dude was almost a member of Dio, I wonder how that would have turned out.
