Band formed by high-speed neo-classical guitarist Chris Impelliteri, whose style is reminiscent of
Yngwie Malmsteen. He produced a self-financed album of instrumentals in 1986 and formed his own band in 1987, which consisted of former
MSG and
Rainbow vocalist
Graham Bonnet, keyboardist Phil Wolfe, ex-
Quiet Riot bassist
Chuck Wright, and ex-
Ted Nugent drummer
Pat Torpey. This lineup's only album strongly evoked
Rainbow's style, to the point where
Rainbow fans accused
Impelliteri of plagiarism. However, the band disintegrated, with
Wright joining
House of Lords and
Torpey going to
Mr. Big.
Impelliteri played with former
Dio keyboardist
Claude Schnell and singer Mark Weisz in 1990. ~ Steve Huey
