Um...did you take this seriously? Fozzy started as a Spinal Tap kind of band, poking fun at metal/rock. They concocted that story on purpose. Their first two albums were cover albums with a few originals, though the story is that they're actually originals and not covers. The real originals were basically Sick Speed songs and Sick Speed was basically Stuck Mojo without the rapper. Rich Ward is the man behind all three of those bands. Mongoose McQueen is the wrestler Chris Jericho and no kidding, the dude can sing! Just listen to "Live Wire" (below). He's fucking good.
Their third album was all original, though, and they dropped the gimmick.
FOZZY - LIVE WIRE (Motley Crue)
FOZZY - STAND UP AND SHOUT (Dio)
FOZZY - OVER THE MOUNTAIN (Ozzy)
Good stuff.
