Don Costa basically vanished after he left the group after they recorded ther first demo (he did very briefly play for Ozzy Osbourne in 1983, though). Rik Fox made a bit more of an impact in that he was responsible for the band's name, and that the "Face The Attack" demo made it onto the Internet because the original copy was stolen from his car.Other than that, his career pretty much died before the end of the '80s He does have his own page on Main/TheOtherWiki, but considering how in depth it is and how much it praises him, it's pretty obvious he wrote it himself.

** In his defense, Blackie looked great for his age up till about 2012 or so, when he had serious health issues (such as a broken femur) that obviously took years off his life.

** Chris Holmes is even taller than Blackie. His guitar looks like a tennis racket in his hands.
