Dave Prichard is best remembered as a founding guitarist for popular Los Angeles metal band, Armored Saint. Formed in 1982, the band quickly built a sizable local following which lead to a 1983 record deal with revered independent, Metal Blade Records. A year later, following the release of an EP on Metal Blade, they were picked up by major label, Chrysalis. The band quickly released their debut album, March of the Saint which contained the MTV video staple, “Can You Deliver?” By 1989, the band were growing frustrated with Chrysalis so they went back to Metal Blade. Around that time, Dave Prichard was diagnosed with leukemia. On February 28, 1990, he passed away from the disease at the age of 26.
