magnum13 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Found this (don't ask) and at minute 3:00 or so I think that's Richard . Do you think he ever dreamed at the time of ending up where he is? btw, no pun intended, we all have difficult beginnings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 His first audition for Guns N' Roses was during that tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Honestly I wouldn't even call that a difficult beginning! As a guitarist, he probably was making bank touring in a high profile unit such as Enrique or Rihanna, a ton of us guitarists would kill to do gigs like that! I know a couple of friends I went to school with at music-oriented college who have gone on to tour with known artists and they are great gigs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique Iglesias was (not sure if still) a big act at the time, every "no-name" guitarrist would take the job in a heartbeat. A men needs to make a living. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuridols Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Enrique is still very popular in Europe. Latin America doesn't love him that much but he had a peak of popularity in the early 2000's. He's also the son of one of the biggest icons of music in Spanish. All in all, I'm sure Fortus got here because of acts like this in his resumé. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

default_ Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Btw, that wasnt even his "beginning" Fortus started in early 80s with The Eyes/Pale Divine, a band that reached a decent underground following and had a major deal with Atlantic.
