It's from a Radio One session I did for Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show in 1981. I was 17 and playing an Aria SB700 through a Frunt amp - with a pick!

Wicked - shame it's a bit on the fuzzy side - good memories though huh?

Miss old Tommy V - RIP you old rocker...I used to listen to him in the 1980s when I was a young metaller myself... yes I loved that sh*t back in the day

Bilb - you coulda made it kid. You coulda lived the dream and played metal... instead you got in with a bad crowd and ended up playing j@zz.[/quote]

But would I have been happy? ;)

The rest of the guys on that recording went on to ........ eh, nothing much. I'll cope with the disappointment!

That's better - now where's my Iron Maiden t-shirt and frightwig...?[/quote]

What you have to remember about this is that, at this point, Iron Maiden were only really one step up from a pub band and had only recently released their first LP (I saw them on their first major UK tour that year - still with Paul Di'anno on vox). These were the heady days of the NWOBHM (this band played a track on the FM Records compilation 'Metal for Muthas Volume 2') and there were loads of original bands gigging in pubs all over the UK - and not a tribute band in sight.

I was young and impressionable but soon grew out if it but these were my first steps into being a musician and I learned a lot about what it means to play in a band during this period!

I still have a copy of their legendary 'white' album that I bought at a gig!
