Chris Impellitteri knew Ken Mary
from the HOUSE OF LORDS days. Chris played a solo on one of their
tracks and that's when he met Ken Mary. So, when the band needed
a drummer for "Grin And Bear It", they had called Ken Mary. Originally
though, Chris Impellitteri and Rob Rock were writing with Eric Singer,
but then Eric got the KISS gig. He went and did that and Rob and Chris
called up Ken Mary.
This EP was
conceived after the recording of the "Eye Of The Hurricane" album plus
"Stand or fall" and "Tears in the eyes of the world" tracks. But
when the band tried to put the album together in a cohesive order, in an
order that worked, that made the album stand apart and stand alone, like
a good listening session, to make the album work, the band couldn't figure
out a good way and a good order of songs. There were always one or
two songs that kind of messed up the order, that either brought the album
down or made it a little too slow. They came up first with
a great order of songs for the album and it worked! But then there were
these two songs left over, that the band really like, the record company
came out with the single "Fuel For The Fire" and with the single "Paradise"...
Because "Fuel For The Fire" was the single for Japan and "Paradise" was
the single for Thailand. So, that's what they did!
