Background
While the band is called, "Ross the Boss", Friedman has stated that "It is a real band with each member having his share of the whole."[2] When asked about the meaning of the title "New Metal Leader", Friedman said "There are several reasons why I chose the title. People do consider me a leader in metal. It is a metal record. And I may not be new, but my band certainly is. The last thing I did [in the same musical vein as "New Metal Leader"] was [the Manowar album] Kings of Metal. The title of this new record had to be in the same realm; it had to have the same sick sense of humor."[3]
