We all had our first experience of metal, whether it was seeing a band on TV and going "WTF! Music like that exists??" or buying an album and being blown away, or whatever.

For me, the love affair began with IRON MAIDEN, after having seen them on "Top of the Pops" singing "Run to the hills" as their "comeback" single. I had seen their album covers on "Killers" and their debut and just assumed they were dark, nasty, loud and horrible, music I would never want to hear. Once I heard RttH though I ran, almost literally, out and bought the album "The number of the Beast", loved every note, and then as this was their latest there was no way I could get other Maiden music than go back and check out those "scary" first two albums. I found I loved them both.

Later I got into Saxon, Motorhead, then Sabbath, Purple and Leppard as well as others, but Maiden remain my first love. And so, a love affair was born, a relationship that has lasted over thirty years, and shows no sign of growing stale.

How about youse guyses?
