Artist History The music making history of the band Forewarned is very brief. Having been formed inJanuary of 1998 with the addition of lead guitarist extordinare Bob Spears, the band hasmatured quickly in a short amount of time. It can be said that the history of the band isbeing written as we speak. The origins of the band stretch all the way back to February of 1994 when rhythmguitarist/vocalist/songwriter David Parsons hooked up with a drummer named Brian Banner.David and Brian instantly clicked mainly due to the fact that they were both into heavymusic. Since that time both members have shown an incredible dedication to an artform thathas been neglected for 10 years. That dedication continues today. After trying various members out and having nothing work, David and Brian began to losefaith in the music. Needing a bassist, they put out adds in the Recycler and otherpublications seeking a quality bassist that would at least play along with the guitar.After many failures, it came to pass that one of Dave's friends Rich Jenney had startedplaying bass. They tried Rich out and found out that after ONLY ONE YEAR of practice, Richhad mastered the difficult artform of speed metal. As time progressed Rich hasdemonstrated that he is a prodigy at the bass and will be one of the greats. The addition of Rich added a thickness to the sound of the band but something was missing.Time had passed and the members were losing interest. David, seeking something new, wentto a guitar contest to check out the competition. While the contest was going on, he metlead guitarist Bob Spears. The two hit it off because of similar tastes in music. Theagreed to hook up and jam. It turned out that Bob won the contest and came out to jam andhasn't stopped coming out since. Bob adds a professional edge and brilliant solo writingto the band, and in addition to this, is one of the hardest workers when it comes tomaking it all work. With such a progressive sound and professional attitude, there seems to be no limit as tohow far this band can go. History continues to be made.
