Which is actually not the case.
My only motive for revealing this story, is to see that John S gets the recognition he rightfully deserves.
I hope I succeed in explaining this rather confusing, but fascinating story.

The thing that's confusing me about this whole affair is that, if you go to the 12th Fret tribute thread in telejake's post, you'll see that Domenic Troiano (Dom Troy) the famous Domenic Troiano as we know him to be was a member of the 5 Rogues very early on, definitely pre-Mandala.
