Given the geopolitical climate in Yugoslavia at the time, it was a miracle Power Serge's lead singer / writer, Sergei Von Sergio—the son of a beet farmer—ever had the chance to wrap his borscht-soaked fingers around a microphone. Serendipitously, a nomadic smuggler in possession of Poison’s 1986 album, Look What the Cat Dragged In, happened upon Sergei's family home, starving, in search of a bowl of cold beet soup he could pay for only in barter. He got his bowl of soup, and the world got Sergei. Sergei listened to the entire album without breathing, and when it had finished, he sucked in a long breath and then screamed the truest, most beautiful note that had ever been sung. The fireplace in his small cottage shot flames upward, and a cold wind blew the straw door open, laying the entire world at Sergei's pale, hairy, Yugoslavian feet.
At that moment, he grabbed his destiny with both hands and shook it like a beggar. The time to act, he knew, was now.
He set out across the Earth, searching out those who possessed his same godly talent and unearthly physical beauty. Many perished during these trials. The handful of men who emerged, galvanized by these grueling tests, were these five:
Budvar Poborsky: Poborsky found his way to Metal in reverse. Once a renowned soccer player, Budvar spiraled into a life of intensely philosophic partying after destroying a school bus with a wild penalty shot. His drinking and womanizing was so famed that he raged his way up through the ranks of backstage partying, eventually pinch-shredding for a (now-ex) Slayer guitarist who he'd decimated in a drink-off, impressing Von Sergio with his doomed liver and impressively sexy air kicks.
Ultimate Partier: Originally a ski and guitar instructor from Salt Lake City, UP is naturally drawn to the best white powder around, and is quick to hop on the slopes whenever he gets a chance. Having an incredible ability to concentrate on tiny conversational details, drink without ever feeling drunk and feeling invincible, Partier’s physical stamina alone was enough to gain him entry to Power Serge’s realm of human excellence.
Mr. Vegas: Mr. Vegas was one of the Caesar's Palaces statues brought to life by the dark magic of the clown sign in front of Circus Circus. During the transformation, Vegas absorbed tantric yoga abilities, a powerful, thrusting hip motion and a supernatural sense of rhythm that made him the only person alive capable of reining in the flying-monkey-like bedlam of Power Serge's brutal rock.
Sgt. Rock: The inspiration for the 1997 Brad Pitt epic Seven Years in Tibet, Rock crossed paths with Von Sergio on the wintry slopes of Nepal, where both were seeking guidance from a temple of monks. Having both channeled the mysteries of the Universe into their instruments (drums and vocal chords, respectively), the musicians realized that two opposing forces of such magnitude would quite likely reverse the laws of physics, and concluded there was no other choice but to team up for the sake of upholding the dignity of the popular scientific field.
Smash: A sparse few truths can be discerned about this mysterious shadow figure. His choice of instrument: 1989 Kramer Nightswan; The legacy of his name: obliteration of hotel facilities; his favorite album: none, he only listens to himself play so as never to risk hearing imperfection. He is also said to be possessed simultaneously by the ghosts of Mozart, Bret Michaels and Ghengis Khan's horse.
Von Sergio's work was complete. A powerful metal army with unending physical endurance, Chernobyl levels of sexual energy and mystical technical abilities was formed; an alchemy of intense metal energy—channeled into a focused beam of epic musical awesomeness that could rock any carbon-based life form to the ribosomal level. Power Serge is a frequent act at The House of Blues, weddings, funerals and any bars where mid- to top-shelf liquor is served.
