Ok ZapX, what is FOIL?

FOIL: first, outside, inside, last. It is a technique used to solve quadratic equations in algebra. He was my algebra teacher at PSU.

Randy Rutherford- (just sick)
Pat McGinnis- (great bassist)
Clint Caruthers (sp)- (most solid drummer ever)
Dave Villani- (nothing needs mentioned, the name says it all)
Rick Wertz- (more than capable of playing great lead and adds great backing vocals)
So whos the one member

It's the only member of the RICKY LEE band that I didn't mention in the above list! I'm sorry to be harsh, but I have my reasons.

I also gotta add Rob Bonsell and Randy Sciarillo. They are the best drummers that I have ever had the honor of playing with. (I haven't exactly played with tons of drummers, but it's clear to anyone that these guys are good.)

Another is the guys from the GRIMM! Kent is my local hero!

Some of my picks for most talented bands, who's musicianship I admire...

-Felix And The Hurricanes
-I Enemy (the Erick, Matt, Matt, and Richie lineup)
-The Current lineup of Banditos (Phil Wagner...WAY underrated guitarist!)
-Fuse
-The original lineup of Badwrench
-The original lineup of Inside Out

And my all time favorite lineup...

XENO

I don't care who you were, you couldn't TOUCH that band. (In my opinion) Xeno was (for pure talent) the best band that's EVER been assembled in this county.

You mean people still remember Xeno! Amazing, what a blast from the past. Two of us are now with The British Invasion. Also have two former members of The Front in the band.

Beau,
When I first turned 21, you guys (you, Rick, Fran and Bob) turned me from a guitar player into a sound guy.
I still try to play every day, but it was seeing you guys for the first time, (at the old Rodeo none the less), that made me sit in awe.

The rest is history.

Where the hell are Fran and Bob anyhow?

Hi Ron!
You actually have time to read these thread?
It's about time we get togther again. it's been over a year now. Bob seems to be definitely retired. I can't even get him to pick up a bass. Fran is into banking and finance and owns some property in Altoona. he lives in Pittsburgh.

I'll give ya a call after the Superbowl....Here We Go STEELERS!!!

Hey Paul. How many incarnations of the band were there? You were the only original member through out the years to know.

Well this will sound completely biased... I consider myself the most fortunate person around. Every show I have the pleasure of performing on stage with (in my opinion) the most talented and professional musicians... John McKelvey, Scott Imler, Darin Hand, and Sean Johnson. With these guys, anyone can see why I would be happy to be viewed as the weakest link in the band.

AND... our kick-ass production crew... Tom Seidel & Bob Cannistraci.

Reading about two blasts form the past, Xeno and The Rodeo bring back drunken memories.

The Ozone Rangers also used to pack that place.

Who all were in Fuse?

That is a talented lineup. How exactly did this band end? I know you probably told me already, but I forget easily (gettin older).

Do you have anything on tape or cd from Fuse?

did you used to play Pelly's on Sunday nights? I think I saw you.

As far as pure musical talent and vocal ability goes, it's hard to beat (the now defunct) Vinyl Tap, who of course, was made up of ex-members of the Fabulous Flashbacks.

How could I forget about Seanson! He and Jimi Tangeman (sp) are just phenomenal.

The Marauders - Great sound and just plain fun too watch.
4 Day Dirty - for a band whose members are that young they have an sound great.
The Pinch - They broke up years ago, but they were a great band. They used to play all ages shows at the YWCA.
