Guitarist/bassist Dave Starr's allegiance to metal can be traced through several respected groups, including VICIOUS RUMORS and the band's first 5 albums (Soldiers Of The Night, Digital Dictator, Vicious Rumors, Welcome To The Ball and Plug In And Hang On: Live In Tokyo), as well as 2006's Warball, CHASTAIN and the 2004 album In An Outrage, plus WILDESTARR, which featured Dave and his wife, vocalist London Wilde, and 3 albums (Arrival, A Tell Tale Heart, Beyond The Rain).
Dave was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (in the early stages), and gave an exclusive interview to https://KNAC.com, in which he explained how it was detected, the medication he needs to take, how his family is coping with it, how he overcame a recent house fire, and future musical projects.
The article also proves to be quite inspirational, including the following excerpt:
"All in all, I try to get up every day with a smile on my face. One of the important things in life and how I deal with it is just keeping busy. With Starr Guitar Systems, I'm building wiring harnesses 7 days a week, business is just going crazy, I have 6 on my bench that I have to build when I get home today. I haven't had a day off in years (laughs), so I don't have time to sit around and mope."
"Business has been so good that I am going to have to eventually hire on one or two extra technicians. I will need the extra help not just because business has exploded, but because at some point I won't be able to do the detailed electronics work anymore due to Parkinson's. The only time it really starts seriously bothering me is when I try to play guitar in the recording studio, then it hits me. Of course, there are other times as well, but my music is obviously a really tough situation for me to deal with because it's such a huge part of who I am."
