Flotsam And Jetsam Lyrics

Flotsam and Jetsam is a thrash metal band that formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1982.

The band's original name was "Paradox" founded by Drummer Kelly David-Smith and two other guitarists, until 1982 when bassist Jason Newsted  joined. Jason had come to Phoenix with his band "Gangster" from Michigan on their way to California, but Gangster broke up while in Phoenix. Kelly and Jason (also doing the vocals) played their first professional gig as "Dredlox" together with guitarists Mark Vasquez and Kevin Horton. Kelly saw 'A.K.' (Eric A. Knutson) singing "The Goodbye Girl" at his high school talent show. In 1983 they were in the same summer school class and Kelly asked Eric A.K. if he wanted to audition.
