Says bassist and band leader Randy Pratt, \u201cOn our 7th CD, ‘Reptilicus Maximus’, we brought in a few of our touring buddies. David Lanik, of ‘Sharks’ kicks ass on ‘Ton on the One’, the opening track on the CD. Frank Marino, of Mahogany Rush, was the headliner on our first tour and dazzles on ‘Evil Eyes’, the second track. Vinnie Moore and UFO were the headliners on our LAST tour (so far). Vinnie shreds beautifully on ‘Crash’, a song I wrote the lyrics to in the hospital after my brutal car crash that sidelined us for awhile. We did a 2 month tour with Glenn Hughes and he came to New York to record 4 songs on our 6th CD, ‘Against All Odds’. ‘Miracle Man’ is a song that he wrote specifically for The Lizards, and I believe we slay it. He and Mike DiMeo do another one of their over the top duets on the closing number on the record. We added Scott ‘The Doctor’ Treibitz on keys for this CD, adding some new textures, from dark and brooding synths and majestic pipe organ to honky tonk piano and funky hammond organ.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cHaving toured with The Lizards and getting to know the band personally, I was delighted when Randy asked me to play on a track with them.\u00a0 And even if I hadn’t gotten to know what a great bunch of guys they are, I still would have accepted the invitation gladly, because I just loved the track and the music they make.\u00a0 With me it’s always been about heart, and these cats bring it… straight from the heart.<\/p>\n

Says Randy, \u201cThe music runs from progressive rock to swampy blues, lyrics ranging from the sacred to the profane\u2026all in the name of ROCK. Bobby Rondinelli told us that we got some of the best playing of his\u00a0career on this record. Since he played with Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult, you can believe the drums are world class throughout!\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

I consider it a crime not to check out these hot sounding reptiles!\u201d – Metalliville, UK<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
