Armored Saint and Tailgunner

Armored Saint, born from the Sunset Strip scene, channels the spirit of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Known for influential '80s albums like "March of the Saint," the band faced tragedy with guitarist David Prichard's passing in 1990. Re-forming in 1999, they continued to bridge thrash and hard rock, with notable works like "Punching the Sky." Key members include John Bush and Joey Vera, the latter also known for his work with Fates Warning. Their legacy includes collaborations with Anthrax and electrifying live performances.
