Creativity before Manowar

This event was a shock for Karl Logan, but he did not stop and assembled Fallen Angel, where he was the only guitarist. Surprisingly, the rest of the band played keyboards. Fallen Angel never achieved popularity, but Logan wrote many songs with them, which were never released. The only fruit of the group's activity is a cassette recording, which was released in 1991.
Working with Manowar
Joey DiMayo chose Carl Logan as lead guitarist. Prior to that, Karl was not familiar with the rest of the team. There are many versions of how Logan met Joey DiMayo, but it is not known how true they are. Some publications write that they began to communicate after the biker convention. Kings of Metal magazine - that their acquaintance happened in a motorcycle store. Carl himself claimed in Hell on Earth Part I that he first saw Joey DiMayo when he nearly hit him on a motorcycle.
Nevertheless, after these events, Karl began to actively participate in the recordings and concerts of Manowar, still remaining an active musician of the group.
Personal life and public accusations
Logan has always been known as a motorcycle enthusiast accustomed to reckless driving. In 2007, Karl had an accident, broke his elbow and took a long time to recover, because of which Manowar lost a lot of time.
The members of the group spoke of Karl as a shy and accustomed to making excuses person who, in the company of friends, reveals himself from a completely different side.
Few could have guessed that it was Logan who would be arrested in 2018 for possession of child pornography. He was released on bail, but the musician was still unable to participate in Manowar's farewell tour.
The public was shocked by the band's reluctance to respond to the guitarist's crimes. Manowar argue that Logan's accusations will not affect future work with the group.
