One of my oldest friends died yesterday. We in the bay area Metal scene are really feeling this. Jon played in lots of cult bands like Warning SF,Ulysses Siren, & Repulsa with his wife on vocals. Look up the videos by Laaz Rockit "Fire In The Hole" & "Leatherface" and he's the bass player in those vids. He usually played guitar. One Iron Maiden related memory I have of him involved the band Defiance. Their bass player got arrested before a gig & Jon filled in with them at the last minute doing their cover of "Killers" Here's the Blabbermouth article http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/veteran-san-francisco-bay-area-metal-musician-jon-torres-dies/
 
I remember going to Music Plus....(Anyone remember that store???)....and bought No Stranger To Danger on vinyl. I was 14 and I still love that album....Wrecking Machine...Backbreaker....I've Got Time.....KILLER TUNES!!

I always thought Coons was a perfect metal vocalist.
