Chris Romanelli was the bassist of the punk rock band Plasmatics[1] from 1981 until 1983 and again in 1986 to 1987, during a time, in 1983, he was the keyboardist.
He played on the Metal Priestess, Coup d'Etat and Maggots: The Record albums.
After that, he had some brief stints with several other bands but largely faded from the music industry in the mid-1990s.
Chris wrote the music to "The Damned", the only Plasmatics song to be featured in heavy rotation on MTV.
"The Damned" still occasionally appears on MTV, on Beavis and Butt-head and other shows.
