Rich Ward

And that's, and Kerry will tell you that he's much more of a, of a priest fan than, than, than a maid fan.

But you know, Rich, Rich Ward is like that in Fozzie, Andy Sneap.

They don't like the new maiden.

They, they have, they understand it and respect it, but they don't like it the way that like, like you and I like it.

Yeah.

Johnny's kind of our producer and our co-writer for the last probably 10 years or so and I think we've had 10 or 11 top 10 singles with songs co-written by Johnny and Fozzy and when you mentioned earlier kind of what my wheelhouse is both Johnny and Rich Ward my partner in crime they really know what my wheelhouse is as a singer for the melodies the range that I have and they really write well for that and you can see because obviously the The hits keep on coming.

I mean, I know Evil, I think it just went into the top 20, which, you know, it's hard to do, you know, to get into the top 30, top 20, top 10.

Like, when you start getting into the radio game, you realize just how hard it is to get those plays because you got to start in week one and spin these plates so that three months in, you get this ad, but you still have to have the ad in the week one or else, you know, it's a domino effect.

Johnny's he's the King of writing, not just one hook or two hooks.

He's almost got three hooks every chorus that we've noticed.

He's, he's really, he really knows how to write a great Fozzy song as does Rich Ward, you know, and that's the thing when Rich and I decided to start working with Johnny, we said Johnny would kind of be the leader.

He's the, he's kind of the captain of the team and we defer all final decisions to him.

We've toured with Fozzy so many times, luckily enough, because some bands don't get to go out with a band as professional as Fozzy when they're starting out, and we were very, very lucky to do so.

Rich Ward and Chris and... pj and billy and uh and brooks he really taught us the ways of the road and uh very grateful for that

nice nice yeah i've been a fan of course old pro wrestling fan but uh you know as fozzy grew and you know his uh talk is jericho is actually one of my inspirations to do podcasting you know i mean that guy wears so many hats it's incredible

what's what's crazy about that what's come full circle for me is before i started pursuing music for real um i was in the haunt industry for about 11 years and during that 11-year stint there was a period of time where i worked for eli roth at a place called the goratorium and since then i've now pursued music and toured a lot with chris jericho uh from fozzy and he recently had eli roth on his podcast which is wild it's just like so weird how that it just
