The Dictators, for all their ultimate commercial failure, were always a lovable bunch (basically, they were the Jewish New York Dolls minus the drag and the heroin). Ross the Boss was also the sanest guy in Manowar, though that is perhaps not saying a real lot given the field of competitors there.
But Handsome Dick's and Andy Shernoff's paths must have separated somewhere along the way, he's not a member of the current line-up. Albert Bouchard holding the sticks now is explainable via the fact that BÖC Svengali Sandy Pearlman managed and produced The Dictators in their Manifest Destiny era - and Albert is a quirky guy always happy to try something different.
The new lead vocalist, Kieth (
sic!) Roth doesn't do a half-bad job, less bum notes than the still wonderful Handsome Dick too ...
