BULLETBOYS
Led by former Ratt vocalist Marq Torien, this L.A. metal band also included ex-King Kobra guitarist Mick Sweda, bassist Lonnie Vincent, and drummer Jimmy D'Anda. Their style was strongly influenced by bands such as AC/DC and Van Halen, later going in a bluesier direction. Torien's personality often drew comparisons to David Lee Roth. The band’s first two albums (Bullet Boys and Freakshow) were well received by critics and fans alike. Some critics compared the band to David Lee Roth-era Van Halen, as Torien's vocal and performing similarities were noted as being derivative. That argument was furthered by the fact that Ted Templeman produced both the Roth-era Van Halen albums and the Bullet Boys. Bullet Boys split up in 1995 following the recording of Acid Monkey, a heavily alternative inspired album that was a major departure from the band’s usual hard rock style. The Bullet Boys eventually re-formed in 2000 and released a new album, Sophie in 2004. This album featured vocal performances from former Skid Row lead singer Sebastian Bach. Jimmy D'Anda also played in the band Zen Lunatic with John Corabi.
