We stayed in touch with Circus and Metal Hammer Magazines...... remember. Did see Sabbath and Wishbone Ash here in the 80. They dared visit a sanctioned country! in 1994, Maiden were here, and 2005 Napalm Death and Sepultura!
Grabbed hold of Iron Maiden "powerslave" when I was 12 and never looked back. My mom in law died in 2003, We spent some of her inheritance travelling the world to see some kick metal bands, thats how devoted I am. Started in England and Saw Maiden 'dance of death World tour', Therapy, New Model Army and a Priest re union! Off to Paris, saw Metallica, Funeral for a Friend and Bullet for my Valentine. off to Germany for Scorpions and Equilibrium and the list goes on!
These days I stare at my vynil collection and feel great!
Spent most of my time now listening to the Scandinavian metal bands, Demi Bogir, Eluveite, Equilibrium, some Night Wish on sundays :twisted:
The big boys from the 80's I still hold close to my heart. Last year Metallica were here and played an arena 5km from my house..... it brought back wicked memories!.......
In light of this boys, check out my post on Round Table " List your top 5 metal album of all times" please join in.
