Warlord was always looking for a singer and you know that we lived in the same town (as Ronnie James Dio) and we had a friend of ours, who was a road guy who lived at Warlord Manor with us who worked for David Lee Roth but in Van Halen and or Dio. We figured out where he (Ronnie James Dio) lived and we showed up at the door. Ronnie was very nice and we left him a tape (of Warlord) and that was that. We apologized profusely (to Ronnie) he wasn’t expecting (us to be at his door) and his reaction was basically one of those things like, ‘Oh god someone else at my door.’ You know one of those kind. He wasn’t rude, he wasn’t nasty, he wasn’t mean, he didn’t say ‘Come on in dude let’s have a beer.’ We just tried to do as much as we could do and it’s like, ‘Hey why not, the worst that can happen is what happened.'
