    one of my all time fav singers!

    Riot never quite got the props they deserved. I loved Sperenza, but Forester also brought new life to the band as well. I can't believe they're both dead - what a waste...

        Rhett Forrester was sadly shot dead during a robbery in Atlanta Georgia in 1994 and original vocalist Guy Speranza died of pancreatic cancer in 2003.
        sucks
        the guitar players look damaged - they've been outcasts all their lives

          Fire Down Under is one of my all time favorite albums. Anthem of my high school/college years. Every cut, tight as hell and just rocks. RIP Guy Speranza!!!!

                      Saxon and Riot on the same bill! I would kill to have been there. I was right there with you Subvamp.

                          Riot kicks ass. I know both guitarists Mark and Mike. I know Mike much better of the two and he's a real cool guy and a killer player! you should check out Mike's solo project "Faith and Fire"...very cool stuff!

                            Ahh, the high school days. I might have to pull out those cassettes for a nostalgia trip.

                              +1 on that Dude!, Well actually those were the days of cheap home grown and $2.00 six packs for me! LOL!!!
                              "Narita" and "Fire Down Under" are two of my most favorite albums of all time!! "Restless Breed" with Forrester on vocals is also a favorite!
                              But Guy Speranza was "The Man" when it came to the vocals for Riot!!
