ROSS THE BOSS Gears Up to Melt Faces on Australian Tour

Interview by Angela Croudace
Heavy metal legend Ross The Boss is set to electrify Australia next week, and he couldn't be more excited. Reflecting on his previous visit, Ross recalls the overwhelming love he received from Aussie fans. "The reaction nerfed me," he laughed. "The intensity, especially in Melbourne, was unbelievable."
Ross, a founding member of Manowar, spoke passionately about the creation of Sign of the Hammer, revealing that the band often recorded more tracks than needed, seizing every opportunity in the studio. A highlight was recording at Richard Branson's famed Manor Studio — a surreal experience that included sleeping in rooms once occupied by historical figures like William the Conqueror.
This upcoming tour features what Ross calls the best version of the RTB band yet, boasting powerhouse musicians like Dirk Schlächter (Gamma Ray) and drummer Sean Elg. “We’re coming to melt faces,” Ross promises, highlighting the group’s precision and raw power.
When asked about his time in Manowar, Ross candidly shared that he wished he'd been firmer with his bandmate Joey DeMaio. "Sometimes I should’ve put my foot down more," he admitted. Despite past challenges, he now channels his passion purely through his guitar, still rooted in the soulful blues influences of B.B. King and Albert King.
Ross also touched on the emotional impact his music has had. "People tell me it saved their lives," he said, visibly moved. "It’s an honour I don't take lightly."
As Ross prepares to unleash a storm of classic anthems down under, he leaves fans with one promise: “We’ll give you 150%. When the final note rings out, we want you to feel it in your soul — and want us back.”
