T-Ride

T-Ride was a California-based heavy metal band whose only album shared the same title. Noted for its wildly complex instrument and vocal arrangements.

Steve Ouimette was one of the first guitarist to try out for the band. Steve, and later Geoff, would play just a couple of the faster guitar parts on the album. Almost all the other guitar parts were played by Eric Valentine. All the other additional instruments on the album were played by Eric. Geoff was hired as a guitar player for the tour. There was a second album that was started but will never be finished or released since the band broke up.

Songs from the album were used in various motion pictures and television shows including "Luxury Cruiser" in the soundtrack of 1992's Encino Man, "Zombies from Hell" in the movie "Captain Ron" and "Bone Down" in an episode of Baywatch, "Forbidden Paradise-part 2".

Drummer/producer Eric Valentine went on to became a multi-platinum selling producer, producing acts like Smash Mouth, Queens of the Stone Age, Third Eye Blind, LostProphets, Good Charlotte, Nickel Creek, John Fogerty, All American Rejects, Slash and more.
