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 M Quote

The rest of the guys on that recording went on to ........ eh, nothing much. I'll cope with the disappointment! Quote
Bilbo Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Just realised that I had uploaded a low grade version by mistake (hence urb's comments about fuzziness!). Let's try again - this was state of the art recording technology in 1981! Maida Vale BBC studio! Quote
tombboy Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I like it... got a little UFO feel in there. Quote
urb Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 RAWK!!!!!! That's better - now where's my Iron Maiden t-shirt and frightwig...? Sounds great man M Quote

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! Quote
The Funk Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Good vocals! Ah, when metal singers actually sang. Good tune. (Little sloppy by today's standards though.) EDIT: I can hear Maiden, Hendrix and Rush. Interesting combination! Edited February 18, 2009 by The Funk Quote
MananaMan Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Hmmm.... great stuff! I'm getting Thin Lizzy to Queen via Led Zep... Weird but cool mix of styles! Quote
