The return of King Kobra

It’s been almost four decades since the mighty King Kobra first burst onto the melodic metal scene. Pulled together by superstar drummer Carmine Appice (Cactus, Vanilla Fudge), King Kobra quickly became a worldwide fan favorite with a mix of stellar musicianship, killer metal hooks, and of course a whole lot of teased up hair!

Now, a new lineup of the band, perhaps their strongest gathering yet, is ready to announce the release of We Are Warriors, the band’s hard-hitting seventh studio album. KK founder Appice is joined once again by longtime bassist Johnny Rod, and vocalist Paul Shortino who welcome to the den the newest vipers, Quiet Riot guitarist Carlos Cavazo and former Dio member Rowan Robertson. With these two talented virtuosos aboard, We Are Warriors is bound to be one of the band’s most celebrated albums.

Saw this in my feed. Cool line-up.

Rowan and Carlos, what a combo! Great to see Rowan out there, he seemed very cool, and lucky and talented, when he got the Dio gig.

At a time I couldn't even play guitar yet!

I LOVE THIS BAND!
And pretty much ever version of KK.
Also the upside, there will be on (Motley Crue) lip syncing with these guys.
Oh! Dikki Nixx that got to sting!
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.

I love the Quite Riot self title album with Paul Shortino singing on it.

If Vinnie decided to go the way Marcie did, what do you think her name would be?

I never thought of that, I just went straight to Vana.

Vivian would work. I'm not sure how much of a want/need to retain a name in a similar vein as the old one, otherwise the sky is the limit!

Joanne Vincent
Barbara Vincent
Candy Vincent (has a great 80's vibe)
Louise Vincent

Oh, the list goes on and on.

Veinless Vincent. :P

Just joking peeps!
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains! :(
