History
Posse Up (1999-2000)
Rich Ward founded the band as " Fozzy Osbourne ," which should be a reference to the singer Ozzy Osbourne, first as a pure cover band. The musicians that he needed it, he had together in a week. In 1999 he then met Chris Jericho at a wrestling event and asked him if he would like to sing with Fozzy. Their first gig the band had in Maretta, Georgia. While Jericho played a few sessions with the band, but did not want to enter permanently, because he was very busy at this time with his wrestling career. But when he was sidelined due to an ankle injury for four months, he returned under the pseudonym Moongoose McQueen back in the band and went on tour with them. He made a number of these a fun and always stated that it was for the two to two very different people, but Chris is a huge fan Moongoose.

The band shortened the name to Fozzy and invented a funny band's history: They went to Japan and signed there at a famous record company to big rock stars to be. The company went bankrupt and they sat there for 20 years and laid the demos that they recorded were stolen and published by other bands. Shortly thereafter, she produced her first album Fozzy on which they covered bands like Dio, Krokus, Twisted Sister, iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, and Judas Priest.
