Jack Starr came on to the Rock / Metal scene in 1982 when he was selected by Mike Varney of Guitar Player magazine to appear on his compilation record entitled U.S.Metal Volume 2. This was the start of many great things for this quiet unassuming guitar hero. The same year he founded a band called Virgin Steele, with Joey Ayvazian (drums), Joe O'Reilly (bass) and a singer named Dave Defeis. Due to growing tension beetween Jack Starr and David De Feis, Jack Starr left Virgin Steele after two albums and started a succesful career with his new band Burning Starr,...
