Rick Ventura

Featured on Riot’s seminal hard rock/heavy metal albums, “Fire Down Under” and “Restless Breed,” guitarist Rick Ventura was poised for stardom on the strength of high-profile tours with Rush, Black Sabbath, Sammy Hagar and Rainbow. He also had the immense respect of his peers (Hello, Lars Ulrich!). So, what happened? Sharpen your swords and pour some tequila as we dig into Rick’s storied past, his new music with Riot Act, the story behind Riot’s oft-maligned album covers and the heartfelt humility of leaving his mark.
