My Take

Joey Vera is a name that makes any metal fan nod in recognition. As the bassist anchoring both Armored Saint and Fates Warning, and filling in for Anthrax when needed, he has earned the kind of trust that only seasoned pros command. Bass players rarely grab the glory, yet without that low-end foundation nothing holds together, and Vera has clearly made a career of being the indispensable backbone. Add producing and composing to the mix and you get a genuine craftsman. I have always admired musicians who serve the song over the spotlight, and his decades of steady output are quietly heroic.

Overview
