John Corabi: Biography of an American Guitarist and Vocalist
John Corabi was born in 1959 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His musical career began in 1989 when he co-founded the hard rock band 'The Scream'. Simultaneously, Corabi participated in another project called 'Angora', but the band disbanded after recording their first demo album.

In the early 90s, the band 'Mötley Crüe' faced troubles with their vocalist Vince Neil, who eventually left the group in 1992. After extensive searching, the band chose John Corabi as the replacement, and he gladly accepted the invitation. The band members believed that Corabi's vocals would bring them even greater popularity, but their self-titled album 'Mötley Crüe' proved otherwise – the band's sales declined, and their previous sound was lost.

A few years later, the band announced the release of their next album, 'Generation Swine'. However, the record label refused to sponsor the album unless Vince returned to 'Mötley Crüe'. In 1997, Corabi was finally replaced by the previous vocalist.

Soon after, John Corabi and former 'Kiss' guitarist Bruce Kulick formed a new band called 'Union'. They quickly announced the release of their debut album and embarked on their first acoustic tour. Despite achieving moderate commercial success, both musicians were busy with other more serious projects, leaving no time for recording new songs and rehearsals.
In 2002, Corabi recorded the album 'Destination Everywhere' with the band 'Twenty 4 Seven'. In 2004, the musician became the second guitarist for the 'Brides of Destruction', but he was asked to leave the band immediately after recording the album 'Here Comes The Brides', due to concerns similar to those that had arisen in 'Mötley Crüe'.
In the 2000s, John Corabi performed with numerous bands as a guitarist and vocalist, but none of them brought him significant fame. It is known that he is currently working on recording his solo album, set to be released at the end of 2010. According to Corabi, the compositions will be distributed through his personal website on the Internet.
