New Band Life
Fox was quickly approached by NIJI managed band Burn, who shared the same producer, and was accepted into the band. Not long after the band eventually dismissed their singer, Fox approached friend and fellow New Yorker, former Anthrax lead singer Neil Turbin to offer him the gig, which Turbin turned down in favor of his own project. During a break in rehearsals with BURN, Fox flew to Arizona to scout potential gigs for BURN when he was approached to join Surgical Steel, which led to recording an album with them and opening for the Lita Ford band. Unfortunately, the financial backing fell through for Surgical Steel to finish the album and Fox left the band, returning to Hollywood.

Famous quotes containing the words band and/or life:
“Nothing makes a man feel older than to hear a band coming up the street and not to have the impulse to rush downstairs and out on to the sidewalk.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“All I know is that first, you’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say, ‘I’m a human being, goddamn it, my life has value.’ So I want you to get up now, I want all of you to get up out of your
chairs. I want you to get up right now, and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.’”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
