I wanted to see them in 1985 Stay Hungry but parents forbid it (I was only 14)...finally saw them live in 1986....was going to see them play in 87 at a smaller club on the LIFS tour but my grandfather died, and it was the day of the funeral. Yes...I still tried to go but the parents won out again. (I had never driven anywhere on my own that was outside my district--so I couldn't even "steal" the family car and go) I know it sounds lame and a little crazy....but I held onto a fear of long distance driving for many, many years, even after a cross-country drive. It was the 2003 July show that made me overcome this fear and I white-knuckled a 3 hour drive to 6-Flags.
amazing the things that passion for heavy metal will make us do! |
