At that time, his family was living in Flushing Meadows in the borough of Queens in New York. His family moved often after the job of Jerry’s father, and he ended up living in seven states during the first 18 years of his life. When he was around ten years old, his older brother Tom started teaching Jerry some chords, initially with an electronic guitar and later with a bass. Soon, they formed a band called Zeus, and played mostly at school and other local events.〔Lion band interview with Jerry Best, Part I, Bob's Metal Show 2008, WRKC 88.5, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LKHKdVMLFc, retrieved 2013-03-26.〕 Later, after graduating from high school, Jerry moved to Los Angeles, where his father and mother had already moved.
