"Alex Grossi is the most gifted young guitar player I have heard since the first time I heard Randy Rhoads in 1975"--
Kevin Dubrow, QUIET RIOT
In only a few short years ALEX GROSSI is becoming one of the hardest working guitarists in the country. In 1999 he inked his first recording deal with ATLANTIC RECORDS with the Boston-based pop rock band ANGRY SALAD. In support of the record Alex and Angry Salad did over 1000 shows across the country, recorded music for the QUINCY JONES produced movie "The Smokers", did multiple television appearances as well as recording the theme song for the WB NETWORK drama series "DC".
In 2001 when the AOL/TIME-WARNER merger cost the band their deal, Alex packed up and headed to Hollywood where within weeks he signed on with TVT Recording Artists IGNITE to do 2 world tours. Upon returning from the tour, Alex was chosen by ELEKTRA RECORDS out of over 75 L.A. area guitarists to be the musical director for one of their new artists AIMEE ALLEN. The band toured and
recorded for the better part of 2002.
In early 2003 Alex joined up with Hollywood rockers BEAUTIFUL CREATURES, fronted by BANG TANGO vocalist JOE LESTE. Shortly thereafter, Alex and BC began writing and recording BC's second record "DEUCE" for JVC RECORDS (Japan) and SPITFIRE/BMG (U.S.). In between working on that, Alex and Joe also wrote and recorded a new BANG TANGO record entitled "READY TO GO" for Mike Varney's SHRAPNEL RECORDS Label. Alex was also asked to appear in a film documenting the Rhode Island nightclub fire by the LIFETIME network which aired in 2004.
In June of 2004 Alex was contacted by QUIET RIOT front man KEVIN DUBROW to participate in the first annual "BAD BOYS OF METAL TOUR" which featured Kevin,
as well as JANI LANE of WARRANT, STEVEN ADLER of GUNS-N-ROSES and BANG TANGO. "Everyone said I was crazy" said Alex "I had to learn 40-plus songs and play for over 3 hours a night but it was an amazing experience, both musically and personally. Guns and Roses "Appetite for Destruction" was the first record I ever bought, Randy Rhoads (founding member of Quiet Riot) is one of my
all time favorite guitarists, and I always liked Warrant. On this tour I got to work with the guys who were a part of my musical upbringing---it was pretty
crazy and great fun". Immediately following the "Bad Boy's Tour", IGNITE Recruited Alex for an extensive tour which saw the band covering the U.S, Canada, Europe, South America and Australia.
In late 2004 Alex was offered the guitar position in QUIET RIOT, he played his first QR date on New years Eve 2004, and has since written and toured with the band full time in 2005, Including 75 dates with the "ROCK NEVER STOPS" tour which also featured CINDERELLA, RATT and FIREHOUSE.
2006 was a very busy year for Alex as well. Throughout the year he toured extensively, including a European Tour with LOVE/HATE, as well as numerous QUIET RIOT and HOOKERS-N-BLOW tours. Alex also performed on several European tribute albums including "It's So Easy: A
MILLENNIUM TRIBUTE TO GUNS N' ROSES" as well as playing lead on Ex-MOTLEY CRUE frontman JOHN CORABI's remake of the Crue classic "HOME SWEET HOME".
In 2007, in addition to steady touring with QUIET RIOT which included the SWEDEN ROCK festival, a performance at the first-annual "ROCKLAHOMA" and a U.S. tour with VINCE NEIL, Alex put together the blueprints for his very own "SCHOOL OF ROCK" which is slated to open in spring 2008.
"I feel really lucky to be able to do this for a living" says Alex, "I can't imagine doing anything else!"

Hello Alex Firstly, I hope all is well with you and yours. I am personally touching base with everyone on my friend’s list. I have the next few months off before I start a tour early next year, and I want to take this time to thank you for your friendship and support , and share my latest news. In my latest blog I posted the transcript of my recent interview with MUEN Magazine, which was featured in the October issue. It explains a lot more about who I am behind the music, if you are interested. There is a free mp3 download of a song I did called “Be Still” that can exclusively be downloaded from my iLike profile. As always, just click on any of the links on the right side of my main profile page to access my iTunes, Facebook, YouTube, iLike, official page etc. If you will, please add me at any site you are on, as I do different things on each site. I am also announcing that “Blush” and “Disclaimer”, two songs off my debut album “The Good Fight”, will soon be downloadable on Xbox live and PS3 Nation to play on Rock Band. I leave you now with a song I uploaded today on my YouTube. It’s my spin on my all time favorite blues song, and part of my live set. I recorded it at my house the other day. It also debuts the new logo I designed. Hope you enjoy it. If you dig my work, share it with a friend. I don’t care about fame or money, I am just one man who loves music, and dedicates my life to sharing it with as many people as possible. Thank you again for your friendship and support. Best Wishes Gregory Ploy of Oracle
