KINGDOM COME What Love Can be 12" Lenny Wolf Hair Metal

Description: #140 The group was formed in 1987 in Hamburg, West Germany, after the breakup of Wolf's moderately successful rock project Stone Fury. Wolf recruited Italian-born bassist/keyboardist Johnny B. Frank and American musicians Danny Stag (lead guitar), Rick Steier (rhythm guitar) and James Kottak (drums). Stag and Frank had previously been members of the bands Industrials (CBS Int'l), and Population 5, which included bassist Prescott Niles (The Knack) and drummer Matt Sorum (The Cult, Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver). Frank was also at one point the keyboard player for Josie Cotton. Kingdom Come marked the first band where Wolf sang without playing guitar. The frontman later admitted that, for a while, it was a very awkward adjustment..................... In 1988, the band released its debut album, Kingdom Come. The band's first single, "Get It On", was a big enough hit on AOR stations (most requested song for six weeks), that the band's eponymous debut went gold the day it was shipped (610,000 units sold). Their second single/video for the power ballad "What Love Can Be" received much airplay on US radio and MTV. By the time the single/video "Loving You" was released, the album had sold to platinum status in the United States, Germany and Canada, among other music markets. The band was chosen to open for the North American Monsters of Rock Tour 1988, supporting Dokken, Scorpions, Metallica and Van Halen......... Following that, they were tapped to support Scorpions on their North American Savage Amusement tour. In 1989, Kingdom Come released their second album In Your Face. It had sold a hardly modest 486,000 units, only 14,000 short of achieving their second gold-certified album, when the band abruptly broke up for personal reasons in August 1989.
