As you learn to play guitar, drums, bass and work on your vocal cords, you learn to play jams by your favorite bands, like Metallica, Iron Maiden Judas Priest and such. With the ability you master, you soon realize that perhaps you are better than expected and when you continue to honor those bands with your talent you are known as a tribute band. To those who work hours on perfecting their instrument and cover songs by classic metal bands, we salute them. The Iron Maidens, Just Like Priest, and more had a home to rock out and play tribute to some classic tunes. Here is an a view of what took place in Santa Anita Park in Arcadia.
