Rob Rock!!

Amazing Melodichardrock of 80's style 👍👍👍

Love this version of “warrior”!!!! So much better than the album version!!! 🤘😎🤘

Arguably one of the best bands to never make it. This EP, had it been a full length album and released on a major label, would easily have competed with everyone else and fit right in with bands like Skid Row, Whitesnake, or Steelheart in 1989/1990. Roy Z SHREDS and Rob Rock's golden throat competes with the best of em! With a little money behind better production, this would have been a huge hit on MTV. Warrior and I Believe in Love would have been everywhere as singles.

[@PhilTougas]

I agree with you on all your points, except maybe about the time period. I think had this been released a few years before, the impact would've been even bigger as things were already turning sour in 1990 for this genre : ( But yeah, the catchiness of these songs is unmatched. Rock's vocals are legendary, man. No one like him.

[@erteltsa]

@@PhilTougas Nah it would have been one of the last great 80s rock albums. Even in 1990 you had Warrant, Slaughter, Skid Row, Winger, Firehouse, Steelheart etc all releasing platinum albums. 91 or 92 would have seen it go nowhere but 1990 it would have made it. The 2nd album (1992/93) would have tanked because of grunge. Look at Steelheart. Huge in 89/90 and the 2nd album was MIA. Same track IMO.

[@cannabiscares6846]

I was there. Atco chimed in with a tour budget (Europe) and grunge was taking over and I believe Atco let them go just after someone just released some grunge album. I think every label dropped all hair bands at that time. Collateral damage. They were ready (Rob told me to get my passport). Ya bad timing!!!

[@TheBdomijan]

@@PhilTougas agree wholeheartedly!!!! 👍

They used to play locally where I live at a place called the infinity. I was too young to get into bars so my friends older brother brought back a cassette they were selling at the show. I was lucky enough to meet Rob Rock when he made an appearance with Jimmy Bell at a bar in Connecticut playing holy diver. It is on KZbin.🤘

[@MrArcovanA]

Luckily for you there is (or there are) a recording of The Infinity > kzbin.info/www/bejne/h329fp-rrreDg9U 😁🤘

[@lampron58]

I have it on Cassette , haven’t heard it in a loooooong time , saw them in Pittsfield Ma. At a bar , great show

[@cannabiscares6846]

I was there that night. After the place closed Roy and I got trashed on “Laser beams and Purple penis’” then we jammed some Yngwie, broke down and got back to Westfield like 6am, poor Roy, was not well for a day or so!!! Ya we were buds, I miss Roy, Rob and even Judy. Funny I just found pictures from the gig at goodnight Hartford. I was BJs tech and since Roy didn’t drive, I was the man!!! This was one of the best times of my life 💯

[@TheBdomijan]

@@cannabiscares6846 great story!!….thanks for sharing!!! 🤘😎🤘

[@TheLydian23]

Blows my mind reading this. I was the guitarist in the opening band "Loudcrowd" for that show. Can't remember the name of the club but it was downstairs on North St. in Pittsfield.

[@lampron58]

[@luketowner805]

I love how you use what recognition you have to promote the early ground breakers in all styles and pay tribute to your influences. I check your channel every couple of months and binge listen to what you've posted. You're an old soul, true to the bone. More of you playing though, please. Signed, possibly you're biggest non creepy fan boy.

[@luketowner805]

Oh ya and keep it old school! The roots are what made modern things great!

A GREAT CHRISTIAN METAL BAND!! ROB ROCK SINGS A LOT!!

[@andrearayne3964]

I love the bassplayer

[@fernandes5986]

I suppose this was another atemp by Rob Rock to reach success under the MARS moniker after the initial one ( with Mac Alpine ) promised so much but failed. I liked the old version of the band much more.

[@terencepereira332]

Which is the old version

[@fernandes5986]

@@terencepereira332 It's the MacAlpine one.

[@mymetal6914]

the first song warrior rerecorded with impellitteri after.

[@billdavis9611]

And jesus

[@kforcer]

I love this group. But my favorite tune by them is 'Sons of Thunder.' That is one of the best metal songs of all-time! 'Warrior' is definitely up there too, though!

[@heavyload75]

Is this a cd? Because I have the original tape and I'm missing the bonus track (which is great, btw!)...

[@furzi2285]

could be a new version on cd , long time ago there was a cd with 6 tracks and tape

[@valdemimassau8947]

[@lawrencesantana7253]

This is the first time I hear of these guys. Do they have any other cd's?

Track 4, Stallone Style!!

[@reubensylvester8818]

what a fantastic band, its such a pitty that they put this out in 1990, if they had in around 1984-85, they would have been a worldwide success for sure. Nevertheless, luckily for us, they eventually put out their full album - Sons of Thunder (2008), which includes these great EP tracks. Check this out - kzbin.info/aero/PLPYwBwdHyNdd1Tq_SFS1t8TrjvwyseZdU&si=dc3uYlO5XyBaAzwX

[@vicfame3171]

Man, I just don't hear it with this one... M.A.R.S. was a masterpiece, never to be repeated, there's just something about that record. I can see it in your eyes, Fantasy, Slave to my touch etc, but this one just lacks that hook Project: Driver had. Anywho, thanks for the upload, I appreciate it however.

[@IbanezFan550]

Absolutely agree. And that's because of the genius of Tony Macalpine

[@vicfame3171]

ok, i take that back, and now im so hooked to this masterpiece, every song rips

[@phillipsamuels6719]

A sure fire winner for driver bob rock is a phenomenal singer check out intense defence by joshua incredible

[@robertsuitto3492]

How can we get this cd ?

[@luketowner805]

I totally hear the Judas priest painkiller riff in the open of the 2nd song.
