Let It Scream
History:
The Scream was a scorching hard rock outfit, which came off as a cross between
Aerosmith and Cinderella.
Vocalist/guitarist John Corabi had moved from Philadelphia to
Los Angeles with his blues-based band Angora in search of fame and fortune.
When Angora disbanded (with half the band forming Graveyard Train)
Corabi hooked up with alumni Bruce Bouillet (guitar), John Alderete
(bass) and Scott Travis (drums), all former members of the highly acclaimed
technical metal band Racer X. Travis quickly left to join Judas Priest
and one-time Shark Island drummer Walt Woodward III stepped behind the
kit.
The group quickly signed to Hollywood records and released a critically
acclaimed album that was produced by the legendary Eddie Kramer. Their brand of
commercial hard rock was destined for success, however after touring behind the album
for a year Corabi got an offer he couldn't refuse. He left The Scream to
replace Vince Neil in the sleaze legends Motley Crue. The remaining
members recruited vocalist Billy Fogarty and began work on the follow-up album.
Takin' It To The Next Level was recorded in 1993, but was never
released due to a shuffle within the record label. The group soon broke up with everyone
but Woodward forming the short lived DC-10.
