Biography

Wally Houck (drums), Mike Nelson (guitars), Gregg DeCarlo (guitars), Ian Serrano (vocals) and Greg Utley (bass). RIPT was the band that put the ROCK in Rockford, IL, and this is well documented on this rare CD. Ranging from the blues-funk of Foghat to the glitzy glam of Guns N' Roses, why this band did not become the next big thing is one of rock and roll's great mysteries. Includes a rousing rendition of Elvis Presley's classic hit "Suspicious Minds" featuring backing vocals that sound amazingly like Axl Rose. Very out of print and exceptionally hard to find.
