Sergio Michel is an American hard rock musician; a national level headliner known world-wide
for his unique style of guitar playing & lively/aggressive performances. 2024 started with a
performance at The 7th Annual Metal Hall of Fame gala, sponsored by Metallica's Blackened in
January (& appeared at the 2024 NAMM Show); sharing the stage with Kings of Thrash
(ex-Megadeth members David Ellefson, Jeff Young, Chris Poland) Sunset Strip legends
London, Carlos Cavaso (Quiet Riot, RATT), Tim "Ripper" Owens (Judas Priest), Tom Morello
(Rage Against The Machine), Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake) & formed a temporary supergroup for
the Metal hall of Fame gala, with singer Mike Tirelli (Riot & Holy Mother); keyboardist Eric
Ragno (London); bassist Becky Baldwin (Merciful Fate) & drummer Nick Mason (Pretty Boy
Floyd); where Sergio Michel's over the top approach to guitar playing (let the massive talent,
physicality and masterful virtuosity show mentality) with the sheer talent and virtuosity of Tirelli,
Ragno, Baldwin & Mason wowed the audience to a standing ovation. Jack Mangan of Metal
Asylum wrote, "Children of the Sea and Neon Knights. This is how you deliver cover tunes.
Sergio Michel, Mike Tirelli, Becky Baldwin, and Nick Mason performed the hell out of these two
Dio-era Black Sabbath classics. Wherever Ronnie James Dio is, he was listening with a smile to
Tirelli’s fantastic, spot on vocal performance.
