Members Were Jura Havidić - Guitar Miljenko Balić - Bass Emil Vugrinec - Drums #4 Melodic Hard Rock Heavy Rock Jessie Galante - Vocals Michael Guy - Guitars Tom Rucci - Bass Doug Allen - Keyboards Jackie Ramos - Drums A Great Band 'tis A Pity They Never Kicked On Because They Certainly Had The Goods When Their Flame Was Flickering Brightly. They Were The LA Based Quintet Fire. In Essence The Musical Vehicle For Buffalo Born And Bred Female Powerhouse Jessie Galante Who Moved Out To LA In Search Of That Big Break. Prior To This She Had Fronted A Local Buffalo Outfit Called Actor Who Were On The Verge Of Inking A Deal With A&M. Unfortunately That Fell Apart Due To The Sterling Efforts Of Their Brain-Dead Management Company Who Obviously Couldn't Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth. In The Interim Jessie Moved Temporarily To The HM Metropolis Of Alabama ! Where The Yokel Locals Persuaded Her She Might Have A Better Chance Of Plying Her Trade In Los Angeles Before She Got Run Of Town By A Lynch-Mob Of Vince Gill Fans! So Upon Her Arrival In L.A Not Only Did She Score Herself Some Half-Decent Musos To Join Her But Her Manager Was One Ray Brown Responsible For Holding The Stud-Encrusted Hands Of Judas Priest Motley Crue And Bon Jovi While The Evergreen Michael Wagener Dokken Accept Etc Came Onboard To Produce Their Showcase Demo. The Band Were Often Called To Undertake Showcase Gigs For The Major Labels And On The Strength Of This Their Only Recorded Demo They Should Have Been A Compulsory Signing Then And There! We're Not Talking Some Second Rate Heart Ripoff Here This Was Classy LA Metal Leaning More Towards Melodic Rock. The Band Also Included Ex Shark Island Pairing Mike Guy And Tom Rucci And With Their Combined Musical And Songwriting Fusing With Galante's A Virtual Witches Brew Of Melodic Metal Was To Unfold. With Brown And Wagener Onside It Couldn't Be Anything Else But. Fire - King Of Thieves Demo 1987 read less
