Metal Month on VH1

[ms. anthrope]

Did any of you catch this show last night:

Heavy: The Story of Metal

How awesome!!! It started off with the history of the NWOBHM and included interviews with Neal Kay who "discovered" Iron Maiden. It featured lots of excellent, old live footage of Maiden when Steve Harris wore those striped spandex tights! I remember reading about the "Soundhouse Tapes" while in (koff) high school. I've *always* loved Maiden with Paul Di'Anno. Loved his punkish/blues vibe. I must have played "Iron Maiden" and "Killers" (on vinyl) over and over 'til my parents got sick of hearing it.

[ms. anthrope]

Anyway... I was able to get a Paul Di'Anno autograph sometime in the 80's, about 20 years ago (eek). It was at The Record Vault in San Francisco.

I've been watching it when I can. Enjoyed the First years of metal show from 70's on. Really good to see Bruce Bruce ready to go on a Croc hunt

 

[LT1Z]

yeah Dickenson looked like Crocodile Dundee

 

[Pabla]

yeah Dickenson looked like Crocodile Dundee

That's exactly what I thought too!

Bruce and his odd fashion... god bless him

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I watched that shit. It was actually really awesome. I hate the editing though, on the band commentaries. It's so obvious that maybe 98% of the time they people arent even talking about the band specified. It's just all cut and paste shit.


I wanna watch the Supergroup show coming to VH1. I saw preview for it and it looks absolutely hilarious.

 

[guitarguru777]

You're still in you're 20's, right?

Hell no !!!!

im in my 30s right behind you and the purple guitar playin homo !!!!!

I also remember when Michael Jackson was Black.

It was strange seeing Dave Murray looking older and sober. I remember him young and drunk in the 80's.

Yea i hear that !!!!!!

It a funnt thing that VH-1 really gets real "METAL" but MTV was so stuck in the hair metal thing back in the day.

Headbangers Ball was the only time you got to see REAL metal. It was such a shame.
