The Rods are an American heavy metal band formed in 1978 by David "Rock" Feinstein (guitar and vocals), Steven Starmer ((guitar ) and vocals), who was later replaced by Garry Bordonaro (bass and vocals) after the first two albums, and Carl Canedy (drums and vocals). Feinstein had first come to mainstream attention after playing in Elf, with his cousin Ronnie James Dio. The Rods sound differed considerably from Elf, adopting a more traditional heavy metal sound compared with the blues-rock sound that Elf preferred. Their first album was originally released independently as ''Rock Hard'' in 1980 and the following year the band was signed by Arista Records, who reordered the album tracks and released it simply titled ''The Rods''. Their second album ''Wild Dogs'' followed in 1982 and was re-released in 2004. The Rods' third album, released 1983, was entitled ''In the Raw''. In 1984 Canedy and Bordonaro played on Jack Starr's album ''Out of the Darkness'' with Rhett Forrester of Riot and Gary Driscoll of Rainbow. Then in 1984 The Rods made their fourth studio album ''Let Them Eat Metal'' and recorded the album ''The Rods Live''. Their album ''Heavier Than Thou'' was originally released in 1986. An album was also released that features all of the band's members, entitled ''Hollywood - Canedy, Feinstein, Bordonaro, & Caudle''. Canedy is also a producer of heavy metal bands, and his credits include Anthrax's ''Armed and Dangerous'' and ''Spreading the Disease'', Exciter's ''Violence & Force'', Overkill's ''Feel the Fire'', Possessed's ''Beyond the Gates'' and Roxx Gang's "Love 'em and Leave 'em In 2008 the Rods announced that they were reuniting. In August 2008 they played at the Metal Rock Fest in Lillehammer, Norway to support a new album. ==External links== * (Official site ) * (The Rods Myspace ) (Just For The Record - Let Them Eat Metal -RockUnited interview ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Rods」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
