When Bruce Dickinson split with Iron Maiden in 1993, he hand picked Roy and Tribe Of Gypsies members Dave Ingraham (drums) and Eddie Casillas (bass) to complete his solo band. Adding a latin feel to the metal legend's distinctive voice, the resulting album Balls to Picasso is a somewhat eclectic affair, ranging from the power ballad "Tears of the Dragon" (which also received a music video) to the doomy rocker "Cyclops". Roy immediately went into the studio with Tribe of Gypsies to record their self titled debut, released in Japan on JVC records in 1996.

Bruce would go on to record his alternative Skunkworks album in 1996, but later returned to his heavier roots and reformed with Roy on 1997's Accident of Birth. Also featuring guitarist and songwriter Adrian Smith (of Iron Maiden) , the album was a critical success, winning "album of the year" polls in the metal press, many fans cite Accident of Birth as Bruce's best solo effort. The band would follow up strongly with 1998's The Chemical Wedding, a concept album with a darker feel, the album contained no ballads, but is equally praised along with Accident of Birth as a fan favorite, even jokingly called by some "The best Iron Maiden album since Seventh Son."

Roy and Bruce again teamed up in 2003 to write and record Tyranny of Souls, released on Sanctuary Records. The pair could not find time to write the album, so Roy would send riffs to Bruce, who was on the road with Iron Maiden, and Bruce would write melodies and lyrics. The album was recorded in Roy's basement studio, and featured session players on drums and bass. Roy himself took a turn on bass for 2 songs - Believil and Power of the Sun. Vocals for the album were done in less than 2 weeks, with Bruce sleeping on a cot in the studio to maximize time. Dickinson had also been injured during a fall at an Iron Maiden show and was all but unable to stand. The album had to be shelved for more than eight months, however, when in 2004, Roy got the call to produce and mix Judas Priest's reunion album Angel of Retribution.
