Metal Guitarist Sergio Michel was born in Hoboken, grew up in Hudson County’s West New York and went to college in Paramus. Fresh off appearing at the seventh annual Metal Hall of Fame gala in January, performing two Dio-era Black Sabbath tracks with vocalist Mike Terelli (Riot), keyboardist Eric Ragno (London), bassist Becky Baldwin (Merciful Fate) and drummer Nick Mason (Pretty Boy Floyd), his histrionic over-the-top performance was reviewed by ‘Metal Asylum’ as being a blueprint for “how you deliver cover tunes.”
