Exciter sold more that 75,000 copies of their second LP 'Violence And Force' and began playing with their peers around the industry like Anthrax, Motorhead, and an opening slot for Wendy O. Williams in Columbus, Ohio, that led Exciter to headline their own 'Violence And Force Tour '84' through Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, and other major cities. The Wicked' would be the first album without founding guitarist John Ricci who quit in mid-tour in 1985 to pursue a solo career. The band would bring in guitarist Brian McPhee for the next two releases. He then signed Exciter to Noise Records in Germany, a European tour followed and sales reached in excess of 100,000 units. Hot on the heels of this success, Leidecker and Exciter re-teamed for the live album 'Better Live Than Dead' in 1993.
