When the dam began to burst ?  :wink:


I was there!  That was the year I first got into rock and metal (or what we called metal then... no "br00talz" in those days, if there was I'd probably be listening to jazz now... ).

Wow, my favourite Saxon and Rush songs in one thread!

In '79 I was going to school dressed in the height of fashion, flared trousers held up by stripey braces and hair to the bottoms of my lug'oles. Grand times.

Yeah, it was definitely the NWOBHM phenomenon and The Friday Rock Show (Tommy Vance RIP) which got me started, but I was actually more into the older bands like Rainbow, Purple, Rush, Robin Trower, Sabbath, UFO, Montrose.... exactly the same things I listen to now, really. 

Although thinking about it, all those "old" albums were actually only a few years old in 1979!  :lol:

Well, what we now consider 'proto-metal' was in full swing in '72. The New Wave was as much a celebration of its punk-ish, lo-fi approach as it was about the decline of the "Old Guard".

I was at then school too aged 14. Into The Pistols, The Clash, The Stranglers, The Jam, The Who, The Boomtown Rats. I was very aware of the metal scene and loved it but the blokes at school who were into them didn't do too well with the chicks!  :lol: and you don't want to know what I used to get up to in 'maths' with some of the chicks I was at school with!  :lol:  PDT_028

Well there were no actual numbers involved, it just happened to be a maths lesson of which nobody whatsoever was interested in. So we made our own entertainment. Well the chicks did........ :lol:
