Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ross Friedman, who performs as Ross the Boss, was the founding guitarist for Manowar. He co-founded the band with bassist Joey DeMaio in 1980, and they released albums like 'Battle Hymns' and 'Into Glory Ride' before he left in 1988. After the split, he started his own band under his stage name.
His solo work includes songs like 'Blood of Knives' and 'Among The Ruins.' He put out albums such as 'Night of the Demon' in 1989 and 'New Metal Leader' in 2008. Over time, he's played with musicians like bassist Mike Lepond and drummer Patrick Johansson.
His departure from Manowar led to legal disputes over the band's name and branding. These conflicts were with former bandmates and the European label Music for Nations. He kept recording and performing through it, eventually forming the Ross the Boss Band.
