 In early 1984, Riot played dates on the Kiss - "Lick It Up" tour alongside Vandenberg, but saddled with managerial problems, they decided to split up shortly thereafter.After the demise of Riot, Forrester teamed with former Virgin Steele guitarist Jack Starr and appeared on his 1984 solo album, "Out of the Darkness", which featured The Rods rhythm section of Carl Canedy and Gary Bordonaro.This was also the line-up that traveled to France in the summer of 1984 for an appearance at the 2-day Breaking Sound Festival in Le Bourget, near Paris, on August 30.
