The Ultimate 80's Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Party Band
was born & raised in Southern California, January 2002! A real band consisting of four friends, all life long dedicated Heavy Metal Warriors. True Metal Knights... carrying the torch and
waging war against all that is boring and predictable. A musical celebration, acknowledging the history of hard rock... with gratitude, respect & admiration.
METAL101 Plays Tight & Energetic Metal Classics From Artists Such As…
AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Def Leppard, Dio, Dokken, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Metallica, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Queensryche, Pantera, RATT, Scorpions, Twisted Sister,
Van Halen & WhiteSnake... but it doesn’t stop there!
Part of the formula that keeps the shows fresh and exciting, is that they also play fan favorite tracks from bands like: Accept, Alcatrazz, Danzig, Krokus, Lynch Mob, Manowar, Savatage, Saxon, WASP, Y & T
and Yngwie Malmsteen!
"It gives the audience an extra special treat that usually sends them over the edge. These are bands that don't have tributes, and they very seldom tour the US. The fans deserve to hear these classic songs
that rarely get played live. Believe it or not, these songs get some of the bigger responses at our shows." ~ Armando Vega
What Are People Saying About The Band?
"This is not just another metal cover band that only covers 80's hair metal. Metal101 will cover music from bands like Accept, Queensryche, Deep Purple, Saxon, DIO, Iron Maiden, Wasp, Krokus, Manowar, and
many others. MOSHKING.COM names METAL101 the best metal cover band in Southern California."
"Soak up the vibe; almost like taking a time machine back to a better time, a time before corporations strangled the life out of the American dream... Metal101 captures the best of the time period, and treated
those present to an excellent collection of the best of the best."
"The lead singer's powerful voice was at times so eerily reminiscent, that if you closed your eyes you would swear you were at a Dio concert, yet still able to handle the subtle nuances of Queensryche's
'Eyes of a Stranger' with surprising ease."
"... the lead guitarist began playing a neo-classical interlude. Fortunately, it was but a brief segue into the Yngwie Malmsteen classic 'I'll See the Light Tonight', which the fleet-fingered guitarist
performed flawlessly."
"A talented group of musicians, Metal101 is reportedly releasing a CD of original material (see PsychicMafia's "Dawn"), and judging from their performance at Paladino's, this is one band that just might be able to help put metal back on the map!"
