Rik Fox - Moving On

Moving On

Fox actually received more mileage from his time with Steeler after his tenure with W.A.S.P., and contends that Steeler was one of the cornerstones of the Hollywood rock scene in the early 1980s. This laid the groundwork that was integral for many of the bands yet to follow, such as Poison and Guns N' Roses, just as the MTV era was being introduced to rock music fans. Steeler acquired the services of a young, up-an-coming Swedish guitar-whiz virtuoso named Yngwie J. Malmsteen, which gave the band some much-garnered attention, selling out venues and opening for the likes of Quiet Riot at a high point in their respective careers. Unfortunately, Steeler changed their line-up several more times before calling it quits, with Ron Keel eventually forming another band under his surname Keel.
