Con un estilo, en lo vocal, muy Mötley Crüe, de la mano de Jim Gillette, destacaba la endiablada velocidad de Michael Angelo Battio en su vistosa doble guitarra ensamblada y que tocaba con mucha destreza, naturalidad y a un ritmo endiablado.
Citar:
Nitro was an American glam metal band that formed in Hollywood, California in 1987. The band was formed by vocalist Jim Gillette and guitarist Michael Angelo Batio and released two studio albums: O.F.R. (1989) and Nitro II: H.W.D.W.S. (1991).
History.- Nitro was formed in 1987 by vocalist Jim Gillette and guitarist Michael Angelo Batio. The duo had previously recruited bassist T.J. Racer, drummer Vinnie Saint James and keyboardist Kevin Jachetta for an album released under Gillette's name, Proud to Be Loud, after which James and Jachetta left the band renamed Nitro. Ex-Vinnie Vincent Invasion drummer Bobby Rock was brought in to replace Vinnie Saint James, and Batio took over Jachetta's keyboards duty. Nitro sealed a recording contract with Rampage (Rhino) after their first show, where Gillette reportedly shattered 3 wine glasses with his voice.[citation needed] The band recorded O.F.R. and released it in 1989, after which Rock left to join Nelson and was replaced by K.C. Comet, who appeared in the band's first two music videos, for the songs "Freight Train" and "Long Way from Home". Comet stayed with the band until the end of the O.F.R. tour.
Racer and Comet then left and were replaced by Ralph Carter and Johnny Thunder respectively. In 1991, Nitro released what turned out to be their final studio album, Nitro II: H.W.D.W.S., and shot a video for their cover of Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever". The band broke up in 1993, after which Gillette married Lita Ford and Batio started a solo career.
In 1999, Batio and Gillette released a collection of old Nitro demos on a compilation album entitled Gunnin' for Glory, which featured drummer Paul Cammarata, as well as three songs by The Michael Angelo Band recorded before the formation of Nitro.
