I’m not sure how much it’s acknowledged but the SF Bay Area was a breeding ground for metal in the 80’s. Not just Y&T but its really where American speed metal took root first. I mean we all know what was happening in L.A. at the time…Testament was another sick metal band from the Bay Area. Although they sound similar to Metallica, they were definiteyl peers and not just a knockoff. Over the Wall is, apparently, a song about bustin out of Alcatraz. It’s definitely sick!
