Bad4Good (l to r) Zack Young, Thomas McRocklin, Brooks Wackerman and Danny Cooksey |
was a
heavy metal band formed in
1991 by
guitarist virtuoso Steve Vai. The band was comprised of a quartet of talented
teenagers, the oldest of whom was 16. The group was lead by
guitarist Thomas McRocklin,
bassist Zack Young,
drummer Brooks Wackerman, and
singer Danny Cooksey. McRocklin had previously appeared in one of Vai's videos ("The Audience Is Listening"), Cooksey had a career as an
actor, and Wackerman is the youngest brother of longtime
Frank Zappa drummer
Chad Wackerman.
Under Vai's guidance, the band released one
album in
1992 called
Refugee. Despite critical praise, the album was a commercial flop, and the band disbanded shortly after.
