Hey dude, your way back drummer Todd here. Just ran across this and wanted to tell you....TOTAL KILLER! Very nice job! Glad to see some of us are still keeping the metal ship afloat. : ) Hope all is well.
you sure that wasn't Ronnie james dio with a haircut!???? GEEZUZ!!!!!! That guy is way past amazing! I LOVE Geoff Tates vocals but this guy takes NO second seat that is for sure. Go Rick!
although I'm a geoff tate fan,the kids kicks his ass out...almost unreal...A young man erases one of the best out of the stage...alright...we saw that too...!Age and time caught up with you geoff...
zephyrous87: have some respect dude!..Geoff gave some people a chance and of course they are good or they would not be on stage with Geoff. But Geoff is the man. What other bands(none)are humble enough and appreciative enough of their fans to take a chance like this??? ZEEERO. NOBODY "kicks his ass out"...I say again HAVE SOME F'ING RESPECT.
That was a worthy match for Geoff. Perhaps not back in the day, but now, deffinately. Way to go. I'm so jealous. Geoff's my idol, what i'd give for that chance.
Rick, That was awesome!! You completely nailed it, and then some!! Wow!!!! Even they were surprised. They must still talk about you, like "Remember that guy from Minneapolis . . .holy $#@!!" Keep up the great work!! Somebody please sign this guy to a record deal!!!
Great job Rick! You sounded better than Geoff i would have to say! I hope this leads to bigger and better things for you. GOOD LUCK!!! ....... jkunk5150
I was there....blown away by this guy....all the skills needed as far as voice is concerned.

Wow... amazing. What I'd give to do that!
I can certainly tell your favourite vocalist is Tate- and it shows that you have been influenced by him.
