ROSS THE BOSS To Headline ROB ORIANI Benefit Memorial Show This March
January 4, 2007, 17 years ago
Legendary guitarist ROSS THE BOSS (ex-MANOWAR) will headline the ROB ORIANI (VYNDYKATOR) Benefit Memorial show on Saturday, March 24th at Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey.
Ross will perform a set of Manowar classics from selections of the first six albums. Joining RTB will be vocalist Prometheus (GODS OF FIRE), bassist Mike LePond (SYMPHONY X) and drummer Mike Sabatini (ATTACKER).
Ross is currently featured on Manowar's newest DVD, The Day The Earth Shook - The Absolute Power.
Attacker vocalist Bob Mitchell commented on having Ross on the show, "Rob often said to me that the three reasons he played guitar were Ross, KK (Downing) and Glenn (Tipton). I'm truly honored to have him as part of this great show that is really coming together. So many bands and the fans now want to be a part of this and I feel that TMA is really sending a profound message. This is absolutely going to be a great night and a wonderful memory for not only the fans of Heavy Metal but for Rob's family whom I love dearly. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Joanne over at Dingbatz for allowing such an event to take place. When I went to her with this show, she didn't hesitate for a moment and said 'yes' right away. She is a true sister of metal and a wonderful friend."
Two more bands will be confirmed in the next few days to complete the lineup. So as of now, the show will feature these great bands: Ross The Boss (An Evening of Early Manowar), SEVEN WITCHES and DEVILS ISLAND.
Set times and admission price will be finalized in the next several days after the final two bands are set in place. All proceeds (100%) from the nights performance will go to the family of Rob Oriani.
Again, please join us in remembering the life and legacy of Rob Oriani on Saturday night, March 24th, 2007.
