Biography
Highly rated Fusion Rock guitarist Richard Earl 'Reb' Beach undertook a large degree of high calibre session work before stepping out into the public arena. Beach had performed on albums with ROGER DALTREY and even BOB DYLAN. It is also widely known that, albeit anonymously, Beach cut a large portion of the guitars on TWISTED SISTER's 'Love Is For Suckers' album. The six stringer had made his mark with the platinum melodic Rockers WINGER, a three year stint with ALICE COOPER and latterly on DOKKEN's 'Erase The Slate' studio album and subsequent live recording. His flamboyant style had gone a long way to restoring the latter's fortunes.
2001 saw the launch of guitarist Reb Beach's solo career with the 'Masquerade' album. Sessioning on the album would be Tommy Bellin on bass and Dave Throckmorton on drums. 'Masquerade' would be issued in Europe by the Italian Frontiers label. In mid December Beach joined David Coverdale's WHITESNAKE.
October of 2003 found Beach reportedly assembling a brand new band unit in collusion with ex-QUIET RIOT, WHITESNAKE and OZZY OSBOURNE bassist Rudy Sarzo. It would be subsequently learned this mooted union was also to include the RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE credited singer JOE LYNN TURNER and drummer QUIET RIOT Frankie Banali. However, this proposal soon collapsed.
The guitarist revealed yet another collaboration in mid 2004, a union with Timothy Drury, Frankie Banali and KING'S X frontman DOUG PINNICK in an 80's Rock band unit given the working title of DEVIL CHILDREN by record company Frontiers. However, this proposed band title would be dismissed by the musicians. Minus Banali, the combo duly evolved into THE MOB.
During 2005 Beach guested on the XCARNATION 'Grounded' album mentored by Turkish guitarist Cenk Eroglu. The guitarist also donated his talents to the AOR collaborative DEACON STREET 'II' album issued in May 2006. Beach featured on the VAN HALEN song 'Dance The Night Away' included on the tribute album '80s Metal Tribute To Van Halen' released by Deadline Records in September. The following month the reunion WINGER album surfaced.
Reb Beach acted as temporary live guitarist for NIGHT RANGER's summer 2007 US dates.
