January 23, 2009 - An update from Mark Reale:

Hey everyone:

Welcome to the new RIOT website www.riot8808/ and Official MySpace. These are
the two sites where you will be able to find out the latest news and updates
on the band so check back regularly.

As you may have heard by now RIOT is gearing up for the '20th Anniversary
Thundersteel Reunion'. It's been almost two decades since I last played with
Tony Moore, Don Van Stavern, Bobby Jarzombek, and Mike Flyntz and we are
really looking forward to getting out there and playing live in 2009. We are
confirmed to make an appearance at the prestigious Sweden Rock Festival in
early June and are in the process of looking into other shows. This will be
the first time ever this particular line-up has played anywhere in Europe so
this is very special to all of us. We have already begun writing some new
'Thundersteel' inspired material and plan to debut a couple of the new songs
during Sweden Rock.

Unbeknownst to us, Bobby (Jarzombek) has been quite the RIOT archivist and
has unearthed a bunch of stuff we'd all forgotten about. While digging
through boxes of band memorabilia, he happened to find a cassette with
several songs that were demoed before we entered the studio to record 'The
Privilege of Power' in 1989/90. Of course, this was long before the days of
recording digitally - and it was even before the days of ADATs! This was back
when a home studio meant that you had a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder and
a few microphones. We demoed about 15 songs and at the time wanted to include
a cover song on 'Privilege.' We couldn't decide on one song so we demoed
three instead - 'Race with the Devil.....' by Al DiMeola (which was re-cut in
the studio and made the album), 'Smoke on the Water' by Deep Purple (which
was also re-recorded and appears as the studio bonus track on 'Riot In Japan
- Live!!') , and Judas Priest's 'Exciter.'

For whatever reason we didn't re-record 'Exciter' in the studio and had
forgotten that we demoed it until Bobby dug up this 4-track version. The
basic rhythm tracks and lead vocals are there but we hadn't gotten around to
recording guitar solos. And, of course, the quality is not very good
considering what those Tascam machines sounded like in those days. But, this
rare recording is a great example of where we were at musically at that time.
Also very interesting is our demoed version of the TPOP track, 'Metal
Soldiers', which shows the band's humor (like Tony yelling, "drop and give me
20!" drill sergeant style at the end) and includes torpedo sounds, courtesy
of a cheap Casio keyboard, and background vocals by the band and road crew
guys, Corky, Damon, and Panic-y Guy.

We thought some of you might get a kick out of hearing these rough versions
so we've uploaded both demos on our MySpace player for your listening
pleasure. Who knows, we might even revisit 'Exciter' in the studio when we
start tracking the new album.
