Where does the time go?
For some reason I thought their first album was older than that. I was never big into them, but always loved the album covers.
Ooh, memories of my 1st trip in the Navy to a friend's house on a long weekend. Getting in his old truck and firing up "Running Free" while driving country roads bordered by corn fields on either side. No cares, just "running free".
Always been a fan, saw them in concert around 1989 or so. Good stuff.
As a bassist, I am practically obligated to be a Maiden fan. I'd still be a fan regardless, but Steve Harris has chops for DAYS.
My son or I will be trying out a riff (Powerslave is a great example) and be doing ok until Steve totally jumps the shark.
"Dammit Steve"...
Iron Maiden makes up a majority of my rock playlist. I didn't realize their first album came out that long ago. Super cool.
Iron Maiden always summons memories of Carmageddon 2
In the early days, were they punk or metal? (Answer: yes.)
I need to blame/thank my friend Steve for getting me into Maiden. We met my freshman year of college. Our common link was Suicidal Tendencies.
Also, some background on that debut album courtesy of the Iron Maiden Commentary.
