Guy Cole

Drummer Guy Cole was born and raised in Fredericktown, Pennsylvania, a small town approximately 50 miles south of Pittsburgh. At the age of 6, his aunt gifted him a Muppets drum set for Christmas that he thoroughly enjoyed beating the crap out of. He learned very quickly that he had a passion for drumming and the rest is history. Guy loved monsters and was drawn to the band KISS because of their monstrous makeup personas. This talent amazed his parents, leading them to buy him more "toy style" drum kits over the years until he eventually received his first professional drum kit. His first record was Peter Criss's solo album, fittingly the drummer of the band KISS. As a self-taught drummer, Guy has the remarkable ability to listen to a song and then replicate it perfectly.

Throughout his formidable school years, Guy participated in concert, marching, and jazz bands. Fast forward many years, he eventually formed a KISS tribute band Black Diamond, taking on the role of his drummer idol, Peter Criss. His time spent in Black Diamond, led to a stint drumming for the Motley Crüe tribute band, Steel City Crüe, as well as several other Pittsburgh area bands. Guy is currently the drummer for XDB and Love In Chains.

Guy is an exceptional talent behind the kit. His use of intricate rhythms and catchy beats contributed significantly to the band's sound and he is renowned for solid and energetic performances.
