But I started thinking. What turned me into the 32 year old metalhead that I am today? I had to look way back for some influences and tonight I'm going to start off with 2 of those.


Just to go back to the 70's/early 80's to hear albums such as Highway to Hell and Jailbreak, I learned the genius that was Bon Scott. His ticket was called way too early. The band lives on, though. I can't wait to see these legends blow me away when they release another studio album this year. Tour the states, mates! OYE!

Who dosen't know Eddie when they see him? That original artwork was done by Derek Riggs (it's worthwhile to look at all his works) and then by Melvyn Grant.
I just remember holding my first CD. It was The Number of the Beast. He also had Powerslave. Both are classics. I had to buy the tour shirts everytime one came out, and that's saying a lot considering I lived in Warsaw which is just 50

Being in DC with my friends to see Iron Maiden at Ozzfest was a complete mindfuck. It's all just pure, beautiful rock n roll, baby.
So, there you have it. I'll revist my childhood and reveal little pieces about being a child hooked on rocking out. This year both bands will be releasing new albums, it's just going to be a classic throwback!
