Another metalhead enters the fray...
That's the one, mate - you know what they say: denim and leather, goes down together. I Love metal right since 1974 my babysitters blasted my tiny eardrums with Black Sabbath. My mother is a huge Status Quo fan and apparently that is all she listened to while I was hatching in the womb. I must post a pic of me as a baby, I was born with a full head of hair, longish curls - I **** you not. There has to be something in that. Basically I've been a head banger since I was born, the Black Sabbath thingy just tipped me over the edge. I wouldn't feck off to bed until they played a full Zep album for me. The 70's were magic growing up for music. In 1979, I desperatly wanted the Stained Class album by Judas Priest. Christ, I dreamt of owning that album. So, in primary school, age ten, I used to get 50p lunch money a day for the school canteen. I went two full weeks stashing my 50p's behind the old shutters (it was a very old school) in the toilets, while I watched my mates stuff their faces at lunch. Now, to a kid, food is everything, and man did I suffer. But I got there, I had my £4.50 saved, and I marched down to Golden Discs in Dun Laoghaire all excited and bought the record. I still have it to this day.
Another story: a mate of mine who is a bit older than me was out on the road kicking a football around, he was about 13 or 14 at the time - he's bored stiff, when this car pulls up (its 1977), its his mate's older brother who says: "I've a spare ticket to see AC/DC tonight, you want to come?" Is the pope Catholic, do bears defacate in the woods? [Poor language removed] gets to see Bon Scott on the Powerage tour. Lift in and back - everything. How poxed is that??????????
I had to wait till 1982 to see AC/DC, and that was minus Bon. Though Beano was amazeing. They are my favourite band.
AC/DC/ Angel Witch
Judas Priest/Slayer/Motorhead/Saxon
Sepultra/Kreator/Destruction/Annihalator/Eville (good Brit thrashers)
Iron Maiden (with Dianno - I hate Bruce; not hate him, just don't like Maiden with him, I met him and he's well sound)
Non metal: Doors, Stones, Who, Floyd, Beetles, Sweet, Bowie (old stuff) Elton John (old stuff), JJ Cale, Mike Oldfield (genius), the list is endless.
I love all rock and blues and classical and jazz as well. real music in other words - none of this Xfactor bollocks.
