Rob Rock (born June 29, 1959) is an American heavy metal singer who is best known as the longtime frontman of Impellitteri, a position he has held from 1987 to 1988, 1992 to 2000, and from 2008 to the present day. Rock has also released four studio albums as a solo artist, and performed with a number of other notable artists, including M.A.R.S., Joshua, Angelica, Axel Rudi Pell and Warrior to name a few. Rob Rock's early music career consisted of stints with several local cover bands as a drummer and vocalist including Tangram, The Robert Allen Band and Vice which also included future band mate, Chris Impellitteri. They released a demo and were together until 1985. In 1986, he joined musicians Tony MacAlpine (guitar), Tommy Aldridge (drums), and Rudy Sarzo (bass guitar) in a project called M.A.R.S. The group released a lone album entitled Project: Driver in 1986, which received much critical praise, but the next year each member went their separate ways. Rock then reunited with friend Chris Impellitteri and recorded the self-titled debut EP (1987) of the latter's band Impellitteri. However, he was also committed to another band named Joshua, so he could not continue with the band at the time. Rock recorded the Intense Defense album with Joshua, which was characterized by the editor of HM Magazine as being "probably the best melodic metal album in the universe." He also worked on other projects (Dennis Cameron's Angelica & Driver) which gave him knowledge of international musicians that would serve him well later. After leaving Joshua in 1988, Rock formed M.A.R.S. offshoot Driver with two other former Joshua members, bassist Emil Lech-Brando and keyboardist Greg Shultz, former Jag Panzer drummer Reynold 'Butch' Carlson, and guitarist Roy Z; Z, Carlson and Lech-Brando had previously played together in Gypsy Moreno. Driver would release a 5-song cassette-only EP in 1990 but broke up the following year when Rock got a call from Chris Impellitteri and decided to once again join his band. Rock would stay on as lead singer until 2000 during which time Impellitteri released five successful albums. In 2000, Rock decided to pursue his own solo career and parted ways with Impellitteri amicably. That same year, he released his first solo album called Rage of Creation. The album received critical praise and Rock has gone on, releasing three more albums (Eyes of Eternity, Holy Hell, Garden of Chaos). Rock's first solo disc 'Rage of Creation' was recorded at Joe Floyd's Silver Cloud studio. As a result of that collaboration, Floyd asked Rock if he would provide vocals for a revamped lineup of the legendary US metal band Warrior. They released 'The Code of Life' in 2001. It is arguably some of the heaviest music Rock has ever performed and received critical acclaim in Europe and Asia. Eventually, Rock would reform Driver with Roy Z and Reynold Carlson and release the Sons of Thunder album in 2008, which consisted of re-recordings of their 1990 EP along with other unreleased songs written at the time. A second Driver album, Countdown, was released in 2012. In May 2008 it was announced that Rock reunited once more with Impellitteri. Their new album, Wicked Maiden, was released in April 2009 and since then they have gone onto release two more studio albums along with the newly released “Wake The Beast-The Impellitteri Anthology”, which is a 3 CD set of the bands favorite tracks from throughout their career. The band will hopefully see a new studio release in 2023 and Rock has some other projects in the works as well so until those all see the light of day please have a listen to the brand new podcast interview with the legendary Rob Rock!

Happy Holidays Metalheads. This week we are excited to share our visit with Chris Impellitteri and his band IMPELLITTERI.

We had a chance to talk with Chris about theses career milestones and the process behind the new career spanning anthology 3 cd package. A great unique conversation filled with in-depth antidotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC. Impellitteri's 2022's momentum has shifted into overdrive as it has just been announced yesterday that  the Guitar virtuoso will be inducted into the 2023 Metal Hall Of Fame at the 6th Annual Metal Hall Of Fame Charity Gala, January 26,2023 at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, CA. "I am honored and humbled to be inducted into the Metal Hall Of Fame.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Impellitteri es un grupo de heavy metal estadounidense formado y liderado por el guitarrista Chris Impellitteri en 1987. Desde entonces, el grupo ha grabado varios discos y ha disfrutado de un relativo éxito debido especialmente a la velocidad, virtuosismo y estilo de Chris Impellitteri. El estilo del grupo a veces se compara con Racer X, mientras que el estilo de Chris se compara con el de Yngwie Malmsteen, especialmente en los primeros discos. Impellitteri ha cambiado de integrantes del grupo a lo largo del tiempo, teniendo varios cantantes: Rob Rock (1987, 1992-2000, 2008), Graham Bonnet (1988-1990, 2000-2003), Mark Weitz (1990), y Curtis Skelton (2003-2008). Impellitteri acaba de lanzar su último disco Wicked Maiden, en el que vuelve a cantar Rob Rock. Chris Impellitteri formó Impellitteri en 1988 con Rob Rock (Angelica) como cantante. Ese año, grabaron un EP llamado Impellitteri. El EP tuvo una buena acogida, pero Rob Rock ya estaba comprometido con otros proyectos. Entonces Graham Bonnet pasó a ser el nuevo cantante, y grabaron su primer disco: Stand In Line en 1988. Tras algún tiempo de gira y contratos con discográficas, Impellitteri volvió (de nuevo con Rob Rock) con el disco Grin and Bear It en 1992. El año siguiente, sacaron otro EP llamado Victim of the System. Y, en 1994, grabaron el disco Answer to the Master. En 1996, Impellitteri grabó Screaming Symphony, que se ha convertido en uno de los álbumes más queridos del grupo. En 1997 sacaron otro EP llamado Fuel For The Fire, para dar entrada al siguiente disco. El año siguiente, sacaron otro de sus trabajos más queridos: Eye of the Hurricane. Continuaron en 2000 con el disco Crunch. Poco después, Rob Rock decidió perseguir su carrera en solitario, así que Impellitteri volvió con Graham Bonnet como cantante y comenzaron a trabajar en el siguiente disco. En 2002 sacaron System X. Ese año también sacaron una recopilación de éxitos llamada The Very Best of Impellitteri: Faster Than the Speed of Light. La unión con Bonnet duró poco tiempo. Impellitteri volvió con Curtis Skelton como cantante, y sacaron el disco Pedal To The Metal en 2004, uno de los más agresivos hasta ahora. En mayo de 2008, se anunció que Rob Rock volvía a Impellitteri. Trabajaron en un disco llamado Wicked Maiden (que iba a ser llamado Good and Evil en un principio), y salió a la venta el 24 de febrero de 2009 seguido de una gira.

“You just keep working and you have short-term goals. For me, it was a very slow up-hill climb.” Glen Sobel, an L.A. born and raised drummer, is a familiar name within the industry. He has held the gig with Alice Cooper for over eight years and has also been working with Hollywood Vampires, featuring Alice, Joe Perry, and Johnny Depp! That is quite a heavy list of names, isn’t it? Beyond that, he has also toured with Chris Impellitteri, Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson's guitarist), Tony Macalpine, Gary Hoey, Warner Bros recording act Beautiful Creatures (Ozzfest tour), Cypress Hill and many others. Glen has a reputation as being a quick study. He can learn a whole set of live material in a day or track an entire album worth of material on very short notice. He has a method of creating a cheat sheet that has helped him achieve such remarkable results and maintain his successful career over many years. Two examples of where he was thrown in the fire were when he subbed for Vasco Rossi’s Matt Laug and also Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. Both of these gigs were sudden and forced him to learn and execute material quickly. I was excited to speak to Glen because of his pistol hot reputation as a hired gun. It is a fiercely competitive career and Glen has proven his worth over and over again. I thought that having Glen speak about his expertise on the podcast would bring a lot of value to anyone who either is already slugging it out in this role or those who are just beginning their journey. There is a lot of useful and promising advice in this episode for our community.   You Will Hear About…. Glen talks about his first band ever, Bourbon Street. Us talking about how deep interest and passion in something can lead to success over time. CBG’s (Character Building Gigs). When is it time to move on or stay on board to see if what you envision becomes reality. The advice and mentorship that Gregg Bissonette has provided Glen with. How Glen prepared and executed some major sub in gigs. We’re talking about Matt Laug and Tommy Lee. Glen’s neck injury several years ago and what he does now to preserve himself and also future proof his career. If Glen couldn’t play drums anymore, what else would he do? How real is the rock n’ roll image? Is it just an image? Are there too many samples in modern rock music? Are typical bar gigs for 50 people better or worse than playing sold out arenas with Alice Cooper?   Why Should You Listen? To have a lengthy conversation with one of rock music’s finest hired guns in the business is a rare opportunity. I felt it was paramount to have him share his first-hand experiences being a hired gun. It is so that all of you can both have a better vantage point to the real side of this industry. You could get caught up with dreams and visions of a life better than your own and maybe something like what Glen does is the answer; in your mind.   I wanted to both demystify this fantasy and also provide helpful tips for working drummers told through the vast experiences that Glen has had. I think that we managed to create a fine episode that will serve listeners on a very practical level.   Glen’s Socials Instagram Facebook YouTube Website   Drumeo Gab’s Socials Instagram Facebook
