Johnny Crash was a heavy metal band, formed in 1985. Members originally included former Tokyo Blade singer Vick Wright (Vicki James

Their sound was likened to that of AC/DC and contemporaries Junkyard, Rhino Bucket and The Four Horsemen. In 1990, the band released
their first album, Neighbourhood Threat, featuring Vicki James Wright (vocals), August Worchell (guitar and backing vocals), Christopher
Stewart (guitar and backing vocals), Stephen "Punky" Adamo (drums) and Terry Nails (Tommy Tutone, Steve Jones, Ozzy Osbourne) (bass).
The band, with Andy Rogers on bass, toured for a short time with bands such as Mötley Crüe and Pretty Maids. The single "Hey Kid" became a
minor hit and its video received some rotation on MTV
Guitarist J.J. Bolt and then-future Guns N' Roses members Dizzy Reed and Matt Sorum joined the band to replace Worchell and Adamo.
However, before the second album could be released Johnny Crash were dropped by their record label, and Chris suggested moving to
Europe. Vicki disagreed and the band split up.
In 1992, bassist Andy Rogers died of a heroin overdose.
In 2007, an interview with Vicki James Wright stated that the then unreleased album, now titled Unfinished Business, will come out on Suncity
Records sometime "soon". In 2008, Unfinished Business was released on Suncity Records. « hide |
