Adam Bomb was born sometime in 1963 and grew up in Seattle, where, in his early teenage years, he played guitar in a metal cover band called Tyrant. The band featured an equally peach-fuzzed Geoff Tate, future Queensryche front-falsetto, vox. Two years later, he joined legendary Seattle hard-rockers TKO. Adam Bomb signed to Geffen in 1984 and released Fatal Attraction a year later.
