The Last Warrior of Rock
Genre: Metal
Hometown: Welland/Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
Members:
Jonathan Tiberi (Jon & His Friends, Late & Loud), all instruments
Info/Analysis: Launched in Jonathan's hometown of Welland in 2007, The Last Warrior of Rock was many Saultites' first musical look at him after he moved here in 2008. Often pictured in "warrior" outfits in photos, Jon posted five original songs like "Fields of Blood & Steel" on the project's MySpace page, before transitioning to acoustic material in 2009, with his acoustic MySpace page featuring a mix of softer originals & covers. Jon moved on to focus on bands (primarily Late & Loud) not long after, before relocating back home in 2013. There's not a lot of surviving info on The Last Warrior of Rock, but these are nice (if darker) glimpses at Jon's early original songwriting & proficient guitar work, and while he's definitely more skilled now as a musician & singer, don't bypass his early work! Check out his only two surviving solo videos from this era at his acoustic page above, including this Sault College performance of "So It Can Be", and be sure to check out his successor solo project The Soviet Space Program, as well as his later bands, particularly ones he fronted!
