In April 2006 Ross "The Boss" Friedman played at the Keep It True Festival in Germany, backed by German Manowar cover band Men Of War to play the songs of the first six Manowar Albums. In June 2006 he stated on his website that Men Of War will be his official Band from now on and that he will rename it to The RTB Band. The goal was not to play old Manowar covers but to write and play new songs.
