As a young rocker in Seattle in the early 80s, those shows were amazing.

All those pretty rocker chicks thought it was pretty cute that a 13 or 14 year old kid was at the metal shows...and were generous with their appreciation.

Judas Priest, Iron Maiden...Twisted Sister opened for Iron Maiden not long before Stay Hungry came out...that was quite a surprise to see them for the first time! Dee Snider is hands down one of the coolest dudes, amazing showman, and stand up guy for the industry, period.

Fish on...
