Hello, I’m really intrigued by John Tarro. Incredible rock singer at a young age, among a generation that doesn’t care much about rock. Singing songs I love from my youth, but he’s young enough to be my own son. Remarkable!

But I wonder what kind of deal a guy like John gets in this situation. Yes, he’s talented, but so are many others. And in terms of the Quiet Riot organization, he’s still just a hired gun, even though he’s the singer.

Does anyone know how this type of contract works? Do you just get paid per gig?

Not judging him, especially as the person who wrote like 95% of Crüe songs, and im not saying bass lines have to be complicated to be good, but Holy Mother of God are his bass lines illogical.

Just heard Blind In Texas on Thursday night football. It’s good hearing some hair metal on mainstream tv other the obvious ones like GNR, Crue and Bon Jovi.

I also reco heard Start the Fire from Metal Church at my gym, that got the blood pumping!

I always heard this is what sparked MTV Unplugged but I guess that was already in development.
