A few weeks after I first heard the album I broke open the proverbial piggy bank, and the next time my mother took me shopping at the supermarket I bought the cheap beginner guitar set they had. It was a really crappy no-name sunburst Strat copy, and I'm fairly sure it's responsible for my long-standing hatred for Strats.jesterpunk68 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 1:23 pmKurt Cobain and Nirvana's Nevermind album when it came out in 1991 was the first time I wanted to play. The music was so simple and sounded so good and felt like it was real compared to the hair metal bands on tv at the time.
Count me in on that. Andy is the start of my obsession with Telecasters.vistavision wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 12:09 pmAndy Summers.
I bought Ghost in the Machine in middle school and liked it. Taped off all my brother's Police albums and bought I Advance Masked. I was already learning acoustic in early high school when I saw a friend's garage band bang out half of Outlandos d'Amour at a party. That's when it hit me that I could do that, too.

That albums is so good. I can ignore their entire catalogue except for that one.HarlowTheFish wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 1:34 pmSteve Harris on the intro to Iron Maiden's The Clairvoyant. Honestly, just Steve Harris all over Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
Honestly if you dig Seventh Son then I highly highly recommend Somewhere in Time, it's the same kinda sound but a bit less prog and a bit more rock. That's my favorite era of Iron Maiden, and it's killer.mcbrandt wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 8:38 amThat albums is so good.

I'm going to check this out. I've avoided their entire catalogue except their first two because I prefer the raw sound of Di'Anno to the over-the-top sound of Dickinson. Dickinson's fine, and the band is still cool, but I'm not that into prog.HarlowTheFish wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 9:20 amHonestly if you dig Seventh Son then I highly highly recommend Somewhere in Time, it's the same kinda sound but a bit less prog and a bit more rock.

Yeah, I got into Iron Maiden as a kid through "Wasted Years" (??) off Somewhere in Time cause of the video on MTV. I'm familiar with all their stuff pretty much up to the early 00s, but I don't ever have a desire to listen to any of it outside of Seventh Son except for Rime of the Ancient Mariner.HarlowTheFish wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 9:20 amHonestly if you dig Seventh Son then I highly highly recommend Somewhere in Time, it's the same kinda sound but a bit less prog and a bit more rock.
