I had another cool and very relaxed chat with the legend that is ROSS THE BOSS, about many many things, not the least of which was the memories of the early days of MANOWAR, recording ‘Sign Of The Hammer’, and touring back in the day, touring these days with his ROSS THE BOSS band and also THE DICTATORS, busy schedules on the road, unwinding at his ‘day job’, and of course the upcoming Australian ROSS THE BOSS band tour, playing the afore-mentioned MANOWAR album in full. The tour is almost upon us.
Check it out.
‘Sign Of The Hammer’ is one the iconic albums ROSS THE BOSS released during his time with the “Kings Of Metal”, the mighty MANOWAR. This album will be played in full for the Aussie shows, along with a best of set which includes some of that band’s most anthemic songs.
ROSS THE BOSS will be joined onstage by the Metallic trio of Marc Lopes from METAL CHURCH on Vocals, Dirk Schlächter from GAMMA RAY on Bass, and Sean Elg from KK’s PRIEST on drums. This is a star-studded line up performing this album and a once in a lifetime opportunity for Australian fans.
Bronx native, Ross Friedman AKA Ross The Boss, is a household name in the world of Heavy Metal and Punk. From his early beginnings forming THE DICTATORS in New York and releasing a slew of albums with this band, who always gave THE RAMONES a run for their money… to his headlining chart topping glory days in MANOWAR. Ross’ career has always been one to follow, including some killer albums with DEATH DEALER, a band formed by our fellow Australian Stu Marshall. And with the last decade concentrating on RTB albums, with four releases since 2008.
