Riot - Swords & Tequila

RIOT [ FEEL THE SAME ] AUDIO TRACK

The metal that is primordial and genuine… Mark Reale and Guy Speranza…

Mark will always be the backbone of the band until death, while Guy retired to private life after the brilliant first three albums: Rock City, Narita, Fire Down Under.

Fire Down Under made the young Conte fall in love… an amazing album - just like the previous two.
“Metal album of the year,” I remember reading after listening to it... and it was indeed fantastic.

Guy retired because his religious beliefs were incompatible with the life of Rock’n’Roll, turning down, among other things, the attention of the big emerging bands of the NWOBHM.

His religious beliefs did not bring him much luck; he passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 46…

I will always thank him… Guy… among my favorite albums there’s also some metal… the genuine, sincere kind, mixed with hard rock and glam from the late 70s to the early 80s…

So much nostalgia…
