Such a humble down to earth guy . Even though he's at least 50 percent responsible for Msnowars first 6 records . Other than Triumph of Steel . I'd say he was on all of Msnowars best albums .Ntm wrote for them .

Can't unsee the snot getting closer and closer to his mouth

Had the pleasure to meet and talk to Ross on a couple of occassions, and he's never been anything but affable and great to talk to. Takes time for his fans, is very appreciative of anyone who complements him or just wants to hang out, real down to earth guy. Just never, ever mention politics :D Can only imagine how great Manowar could have been for a much longer time if only Joey could keep his ego in check. Same thing about their "twilight" tour circuit. It would have only been right to reach out to Ross to return for the final tour(s), as it would have closed the circle (what with Joey being so hung up on that symbology), but it seems Joey's too concerned with his egotistical macho-posture BS and silly swordfight re-enactments.

Ross The Boss travels everywhere and brings the metal. Zero ego. All power. \m/

My band Bloody Times made an album with him last year. Really nice guy with his own influence and really nice to work with! He brings some nice classic heavy metal influence to the table! :)

We opened for the Brain Surgeons in 05 in St. Louis they were going to bail on our set until Ross saw my crazy Fender Super Six Reverb amp and stuck around. What a nice guy and we had a great time.

Gotta love this guy, man! He's got a style on HIS OWN- that's why NO ONE can play those Manowar tunes like HE does... I swear I don't know what he does with the chords, octaves or whatever...

Karl Logan is a much better technician, but he's always been a hired gun and nothing more. For better or for worse, he barely contributed to composing the songs - and it shows. Although he spent four times as much time with the band as Ross the Boss did, with him they released only four new albums and one EP. Within the six years Ross spent with Manowar they released six albums - meaning that they were much more productive.
