Scottsdale, AZ based hard rock cover band The Schoolboys at the end of high school in 1979. In the summer of 1980, the band had decided to start writing and performing original songs, grooming themselves to be America's version of Def Leppard, a Sheffield, England band of similar musical genre who were just starting to gain international notoriety. They released a 12" EP Singin', Shoutin' and were featured on two compilation albums by local FM radio station KDKB. That lineup was short-lived however, and both David and drummer John Covington left the band in early 1981 over creative differences in musical direction and style. The remaining members formed the band Icon which released four studio albums and one live album/dvd. The decision to leave The Schoolboys was an important one, because it marked the turning point that led to David's relocation to Los Angeles in 1984 to join the band Keel. David played only one show with Keel in March 1984 at Perkins Palace in Pasadena, CA where he was quickly spotted and recruited by veteran drummer Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Rod Stewart, Ozzy Osbourne) for a new band being formed called King Kobra. Shortly after joining, the band's manager suggested David change his last name from "Henzerling" to something more Hollywood-friendly, so the pseudonym "Michael-Philips" was adopted (the use of Philips came from David's middle name). King Kobra was signed by Capitol records in June 1984 and their debut LP Ready To Strike produced by Spencer Proffer (Quiet Riot) was released in March 1985. The band's first single Hunger was featured regularly on MTV and they toured supporting the group Autograph. A second single Tough Guys was remixed by Steve Thompson (Korn, Whitney Houston, Guns N' Roses), but was never released by Capitol. King Kobra released their second album Thrill of a Lifetime in March 1986 and followed by touring with Kiss, Iron Maiden, Queensrÿche, and Ted Nugent. The song Never Say Die - Iron Eagle was featured on the soundtrack of the number one movie Iron Eagle (Jan. 1986) and a video was filmed with the stars Jason Gedrick and Louis Gossett Jr. at a remote airfield in Chino, CA featuring the band members playing Air Force fighter pilots. By late 1987, following their departure from Capitol Records, King Kobra had already begun to fracture and undergo numerous line-up changes so that by the time King Kobra III was released in 1988, there was no longer a band to support the album.
