UK Music

I love early Iron Maiden. They had a raw fresh sound, born out of metal like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, but also with influences from prog rock and - perhaps most importantly - punk. The first two albums, featuring Paul Di'Anno's vocals have a raw, angry purity which I keep coming back to.

Ludicrously under-serviced by the British music press, Maiden have given us a stupendous total of 41 albums, and have performed utterly epic tours often over 100 shows long, with the '84-'85 World Slavery Tour coming in at 187 shows and playing to massive crowds including a co-headline with Queen in Rio de Janeiro with an attendance of 300,000 people.

I just played American Idiot and The Wall from start to finish. For me, both are absolute masterpieces. I wouldn’t be able to say which is better than the other.

What’s the best concept album for you?

The British band Sports Team have been robbed at gunpoint on the first day of their US tour.

The indie group, who have scored two top 10 albums in the UK, lost their passports, stage equipment and personal belongings in the incident, as a thief looted their tour van in the city of Vallejo, in the Bay area of California.

Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell [ English Rock \ Heavy Metal ]

From the legendary album 'Heaven And Hell'

Tony Iommi is one lucky mofo for getting two of the greatest vocalists that ever lived. Choosing between Ozzy Black Sabbath and Ronnie D Black Sabbath is one of the toughest endeavors one can perform.
