The bandmembers
Vocals : Eric Adams 1980- todayMANOWAR was founded in Auburn (1980) by Joey DeMaio and Eric Adams. The first guitar player was Ross "The Boss" Friedman and behind the drums sat Karl Kennedy. The four just left High School and they decided to put the false ones and the enemies of METAL in the dust !! This great band has (`till now) released ten fantastic albums !!!
Well, the NAME of Manowar was described by Joey as a compiliation of WAR (because life is WAR, in his opinion) and MANnish substance (because the metal scene had and has a lot of whimps). WHO ARE THE 'FALSE ONES'? - Joey said that "False Metal" is every band which doesn`t play for their followers. Every band who doesn`t occupy with their fans` wishes and expectations !!
I`d say some of the best albums ever !! They are holder of two world records !!! They are the loudest band on earth (louder than a starting Jet !!) and they wrote the longest song ever (about 30 Minutes !!) "Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in 8 parts" !!! MANOWAR are really the KINGS OF METAL !!!!!!!!
