I just came across this photo on the Heavyhardes site. It's dated as from a concert in 2005. Although the musician's identity is not mentioned, I beleive it's Ira Black from Vicious Rumors. Ira has very long - and very beautiful - hair.

I meant to mention that Ira is no longer with Vicious Rumors. He was with Heathen for a year or two, but is no longer with them. So I don't know where he is now or what he's doing. The URL below will show you a picture of Ira when he was playing at a concert with Heathen - I believe it may have been in 2004.
Do any of you know what he's up to these days?

Thanks for posting the pictures. Ira is certainly a great inspiration and got great looking hair. I had the priviledge to do a shoot with him about 3 years ago and we've been good friends since. I saw him playing with Metal Church at Wacken last year. I'll find out which band he's playing with now.
He's a great guitarist to.
