I pulled out my Maiden albums and cranked some of them this weekend. I have been on a big Iron Maiden kick again.  Their first album is still my favourite I think, especially the tune below.  Crank it!

So, this is kind of why the internet is awesome.  Someone posted videos of a high school talent show from 1984, featuring a metal band with a young Mike Patton.  Maiden! Priest! Riot! Kiss!
This is too much haha.

I have been cranking Samson the past couple of days.  This is the band that was fronted by Bruce Dickenson before he joined Iron Maiden.  Check out the album HEAD ON.  Its pretty damn rocken.  This video has the opening track and the kick ass Vice Versa.

I am making my first appearance at Nicks cottage this weekend, and I promised to do some homework. Homework consisting of learning Black Sabbath's Volume 4 start to finish. Gotta say this album is really pumping me up a lot. This may be the album that actually breaks the seal and gets me into Sabbath. The debate is who do I like more, Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath. I always said Maiden, but to quote track 3 of this record...."I'm going through changes."

Check you the first song, especially during and after the solo. Holy fuck! Make sure not to miss St. Vitus' Dance. Killer fucking tune.
