The lead singer is my dad he's Jerry Riggs im Noah Riggs

I used to go see Riggs all the time at little clubs in Atlanta. I was so psyched when they got signed. Then their album came out with the awful cover art, and they disappeared. Jerry went on to play with Pat Travers and that was that.

@noahharley2000 if true, love your dad's work, but i agree with others; so? find your own thing, you could be great at rock, or just be great at reading rocks (geology), don't ride on daddy's greatness, make your own.

[ManTurtle3000]

@noahharley2000 your father = greatness

I always thought this was the best tune on the soundtrack. Although Cheap Trick's jam was pretty damn good, too.

[NiveusLuxLucis]

@noahharley2000 so?

[devilchille]

@noahharley2000 Cool!

[noahharley2000]

@BobberDC what happened is the manager was a total jerk and only cared about the money and they were in a contract with him so the band had to split up its not my dad's fault he left it was there only choice

[tchudsonco]

Saw Riggs at my first concert opening for Rush on the Exit...Stage Left Tour.

Looks like pattern bombing with 1/2 percent of altitude CEP, is pretty damn accurate to me.

[ENEKAGYEPNEN]

Fucking love this video for all time.

Okay, that's fine. I just thought you sounded a little harsh on some of those comments. There's a lot of extreme metal that I dont like either, so I can relate.
