WARRIOR w/ VINNIE VINCENT COMPLETE SESSIONS 3CD kiss PREORDER 11/1/24 last one

Description: ships with tracking 11/1/24 The most complete and best sounding 3CD collection of Warrior's short career. A treasure trove demonstrating the power, quality and sheer momentum of Warrior, and adding to the band's legacy and legend. The Warrior story goes back to 1982 when New England band members Jimmy Waldo on keyboards, bassist Gary Shea and drummer Hirsch Gardner were searching for a replacement for recently departed guitarist, John Fannon. A then unknown guitarist Vincent Cusano was recommended by KISS's Gene Simmons, as both bands were represented at the time by manager Bill Aucoin. Cusano was a prolific songwriter, and sent some of his song ideas to the Boston based New Englanders for consideration. So impressed was the trio with Cusano's songwriting abilities that they agreed to relocate to Los Angeles where the guitarist was based, and the band Warrior was born. Recording began at the famed Record Plant with serious interest from CBS Records, but the band were also diligent enough to record demos and rough ideas on a more modest set-up, capturing the fledgling band on cassette. Unfortunately for Warrior, Vincent Cusano's talents meant that the guitarist was snapped up by KISS in 1982 to replace Ace Frehley for their 'Creatures Of The Night' LP, which was their last in make-up, and now rechristened Vinnie Vincent. Those rare recordings gathered dust until HNE released a collection of them in 2017. Subsequently, more tapes and cassettes, some of significantly better quality, have been unearthed from Gary Shea's personal archive. Also included are a number of the demos and rehearsals. Shea and Waldo would remain in Los Angeles, soon joining up with Rainbow vocalist Graham Bonnet to form Alcatrazz with Yngwie J. Malmsteen. Disc 1 -1 Boyz Gonna Rock2 It Ain't Pretty...
