There is conflicting story: Barraza was member of Prophecy from 1985 (Paradise Lost re-release/Tales of a Paradise Lost) or 1986 (Tales of a Paradise Lost/ESP profile) till 1987. And also conflicting story of the band Train Wreck Blooze with Go It Alone.
Jimmy Barraza is a fantastic guitar player
Greg Lindstrom
he was one hell of a guitarist
We had found a really good guitarist named Jimmy Barraza who we wanted to bring on board so that Jerry could concentrate on his leads and we could play all the double leads we were writing in all the new (and old) songs. Somehow Jerry must have felt that we were trying to replace him although nothing could have been farther from the truth.
