After graduating from UCLA in 1988, Ondrasik became associated with the glam metal scene. He befriended Whitesnake bassist Rudy Sarzo and later formed a band with Scott St. Clair Sheets , best known for his work with Pat Benatar , called John Scott . Ondrasik later described the band’s genre as “pop metal”, comparing their sound to Bon Jovi . John Scott signed a management deal in the early 1990s, but any hopes of mainstream success were shattered with the rise of grunge . “We had some good songs and had some interest and were about to do a big management deal and then this little band called Nirvana came out and the whole hair-metal thing blew up,” said Ondrasik. Despite this, several John Scott recordings have survived.
