Giuffria

[1] The band's classic line-up consisted of Gregg Giuffria on keyboards, David Glen Eisley (lead vocalist), Craig Goldy (guitar), Chuck Wright (bass), and Alan Krigger (drums).

Throughout that tour, despite receiving rave reviews as the opening act, the members of Giuffria were subjected to mistreatment by Deep Purple lead guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who cut the band's set from 45 minutes to 25.

Giuffria's next album, Silk and Steel, was released in 1986, following some lineup changes: Goldy had joined Dio and was replaced by guitarist Lanny Cordola, while Wright returned to Quiet Riot (this time joining the band as an official member) and was replaced by Rick Bozzo and later David Sikes.

Giuffria left MCA in 1987; Gregg then teamed up with Gene Simmons, where they reconfigured a new lineup, including James Christian on vocals, the return of bassist Chuck Wright and the debut of drummer Ken Mary, who had replaced Alan Krigger.

[1] Some of these demos would eventually appear on David Glen Eisley's album The Lost Tapes while three of the songs ("Pleasure Palace", "Jealous Heart", and "Slip Of The Tongue") were recorded for the House of Lords debut album, released on Gene Simmons's new label Simmons/RCA Records.
