In 1994 Grunge was the thing. I never liked it and still don't. The metal of the '80s
with bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio were almost forgotten. I decided
to form a band who payed tribute to this era.
It was hard to find a willing guitar player and I allready had a drummer in Henrik Berg
so I decided I play guitar instead. We found a bass player in Patrik Wrethed, the
singer from Black Diamond Eddie Sandh joined and finally my friend from the
Abstraction days Peter Östros on guitar.
We made a few gigs during the summer of '94 and then most of the members had
other commitments.
In 1995 I got a call from Magnus Henriksson who thought it would be great to start
a new band like Neon Balls. I thought it was a great idea. Peter and Eddie joined
and we found a new bass player, Fredrik. We decided to keep the name and to
continue were we ended the year before. This time I played drums.
This line up lasted until august 1996.
