Back in the late 80s and early 90s Kelly Keagy, Mark Slaughter, Eric Martin, and the brothers Nelson were all fronting their own hugely successful rock acts – Night Ranger, Slaughter,
Mr. Big and Nelson. You may recall a few of their mega hits that are still in regular rotation in
most rock radio stations – “Sister Christian”, “Fly to the Angels”, “To Be With You”, and
“After the Rain”, just to name a few. Well, the decade may have changed but the music hasn’t, they are just bringing it to us a little differently these days.
SCRAP METAL started years ago when the boys were asked to perform at the annual Nashville Songwriter’s Association festival, what started as a friendly jam session turned into a fortified band consisting of a potluck of musicians who have one main goal - to bring the fun.
While the nature of the music industry is constantly changing, and arguably not for the better, these guys have definitely found their niche.
There will always be a loyal fanbase who will turn out to see this band because of the love they have for that genre of music, and the time and place it takes us all back to, mix that with musicians who love what they are doing and you’ve got a recipe for success. There is something to be said for songs that stand the test of time and can still bring people back to the first time they heard it over twenty years later.
"We’re all about the music, we’re about the fun, and we’re about getting people to have a good time – to forget their problems, to unleash a party that’s wild and crazier than they’ve ever seen and that’s the key," enthuses band co-founder MARK SLAUGHTER.
SCRAP METAL features all lead singers and front men who were ‘the’ voices and faces of rock’n’roll in America for the good-time rock generation. These are the actual lead singers of such 1 hits as “Sister Christian” (NIGHT RANGER), “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love and Affection” (NELSON), “To Be With You” (MR. BIG) and “Up All Night” (SLAUGHTER).
“It’s a ninety minute show with only hit songs performed by the original lead singers who sang them in the first place,” raves SCRAP METAL co-founder GUNNAR NELSON. ERIC MARTIN agrees, "The fans get to hear me sing the Mr. Big songs, but they get more bang for their buck with 'Scrap Metal' and they love it!"
SCRAP METAL is unique since concert shows always feature an element of surprise with special guest performances -- everyone from Joe Lynn Turner of DEEP PURPLE, to C.J. Snare of FIREHOUSE.
MATTHEW NELSON notes, "What I like about the whole Scrap Metal philosophy – including my rotating in and out depending on what I’m doing, is you never know who’s going to show up!”
