Rock supergroup Manraze played their first ever U.S. show Sunday night at L.A.’s historic Roxy Theatre to a raucous crowd. Prior to the wild show, the group–comprised of Def Leppard’s Phil Collen, Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols, and Girl’s Simon Laffy–quietly played for a much different crowd: high school students. For an afternoon, the guys entertained and thrilled 30 local high school students at the GRAMMY Camp SoundCheck, where students were able to ask Manraze questions following a closed soundcheck.
