We just lost Ross the Boss of the Dictators, Shakin' Street, Manowar, and many other bands.

At age 72, he had appeared on albums spanning half a century.

Rock forever.

A #RossTheBoss quiero recordarle en dos ocasiones:
- el primer concierto con #TheDictators en el #PlayaClub. Aquello fue brutal, sonidazo, actitud... uno de los conciertos de mi vida.
- en 2007, con #TheThunderbolts, en Compostela, otro despliegue de burricie y rock'n'roll
Gracias por tanto, JEFAZO

After โ€˜Manifest Destiny,โ€™ aka โ€˜ #TheDictators Get Housebroken,โ€™ โ€˜Bloodbrothersโ€™ was seen as a fresh & enthusiastic, stripped-down display of both the band & their sound. It took 3 tries but it finally looked like it was best foot forward w/this chance at grabbing the brass ring.

Intermingled with classics, Conte demonstrated his versatility and deep roots in rock tradition. His raspy voice and tight guitar work warmed up the room with energy that felt raw and welcoming, perfectly setting the stage for The Dictatorsโ€™ raw power
