Even though I am a fan, the eight PRIDE OF LIONS albums have been a mixed bag. Their 2004 self-titled album and 2005 follow-up were top tier in the world of Melodic Rock. The next couple of albums, not so much…
“I’ve been in a lot of bands…[ESCAPE THE HIVE] is something different than I’ve ever experienced…99% of the time we’re on the same page.” - Michael Thomas Beck
TRIUMPH foretold the success of this 2026 tour 45 years ago, but we didn’t know it at the time. It was delivered in the lyrics for their 1981 hit single “Magic Power”…
“If you’re comparing us to probably the greatest band of the seventies, then that’s not really negative to me.” - Tyler Arrowsmith
“When [JORN] came back for the ‘Time To Be King’ album, there was a big compromise. He said I’m only coming back…when it's less Power Metal sounding…but this album, ‘Metalmorphosis’, is definitely free, without compromise.” - Roland Grapow
“This art is going to last forever. We aren’t going to last forever, and maybe we’re not going to perform as a two piece forever. So we might as well make the music as good as we can.“ - Cody Bowles
“I had kind of shut down creatively, I wasn’t really sure I wanted to do this anymore” - Russell Allen
”OZZY came down to see me…because he wanted a new guitar player to replace Jake E. Lee. He ended up going with Zakk Wylde.” - Gene Marchello
“All James Brown music was out of print in ‘78, ‘79…except for his latest album that wasn’t selling very well. We went to [his record label] and they gave us the rights [to his music]…it was our biggest seller ever.” - Richard Foos
“I learned to trust myself by trusting [producer Nick Raskulinecz].” - Rachel Bolan
