So I went home to Phoenix for Thanksgiving and naturally my mom just HAS to pull out the old photo albums of us as kids. Thumbing through, I spot myself about 10 or 11 years old in 1981 sporting a Killer's Tour Maiden shirt. I'm proudly displaying my new Atari game "Pitfall" There's also a pic of me and my buddy (also in a Maiden shirt) standing next to the TV displaying our "High Score). Freakin hysterical. Anyone else with some ridiculously old photos of themselves "Uppin the Irons"???
Here's a few I found the other day.... Highschool Junior 1982-83...President of the Leif Garrett fan club !...lol...I wish I still had that shirt....Just think of the Ebay price ! Highschool Senior , 1983-84...One of only two pics I have of that painting before Harris signed it, which unfortunately was lost a long time ago...I have no idea what happened to my Trooper jersey either....strange...
Sweet! I remember feathered hair like that! That's a damn fine Trooper jersey! Funnilyy enough, I dress like you in that second pic TODAY sometimes..
My aunt's got a great picture of all us cousins together and we're all in metal shirts, my cousin Ross is the only one with Maiden on tho. He had this kick ass NPFTD hoodie which kicked ass!!
Hee hee, I think we all had the same wardrobe in our "early days"! It's so funny to be reminded that everybody used to tuck in their shirts! Fun pics! I have a picture somewhere at my Mom's house of me on crutches with a cast up to my knee and a wicked drawing of the # of the Beast Eddie on the whole front of it that a friend drew. It went over really well with all my school teachers.
Yea, I hear ya. In 6th grade I got expelled from school for the day because of my Killers shirt. Basically sent home for it... A nice, free day off as I recall. Years later, I had an incident with my father tearing an Exodus shirt right off my back cause he didn't agree with it's gruesome imagery. I had to sew it back together... wore it for many years in that condition.
Oldest pic I have is from 5/2/87, Irvine Meadows parking lot before the last U.S. show for Somewhere on Tour: On far left wearing a Stranger in a Strange Land long-sleeve with some friends from high school.
I had to put duct tape over my METAL UP YOUR ASS Metallica t-shirt once in high school. Wore it a bunch of times before my English teacher finally noticed it.
My brother used to wear Megadeth shirts to school just to piss off his overly religious history teacher. I got bollocked at PE twice for wearing metal shirts - one was a King Nothing shirt and the other said "We came, we saw, we got pissed at Donington!"
I am soooooooo glad I don't have those kinds of pics anymore LOL Goodness gracious...whoever told me that blue eyeshadow looked cool with pink lipstick needs shooting. uke:
It's the combination with the blue eyeshadow...and it's that frosty pale pink shimmery thing. The girls know what I'm talking about
Oh yes, that shade of blue! You can also think of it as the old stewardess blue they all used to wear on the airlines; either that or old porno blue. HAHAHAHA!!!!! Doh
Thankfully, from Maiden, Priest, Dio and Ozzy, I moved on to Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Destruction, ect... So I don't have to worry about pictures of me in makeup surfacing! Being an angst-ridden youth in the late 80s, I detested all poofy hair rock. Which was why No Prayer was such a let down for me. Their whole idea of "stripped down, back to basics rock and roll" was NOT why I liked Maiden in the first place. And with Adrian gone, I was sure it was the beginning of the end...
*sigh* As do I. Somewhere somebody has a highschool pic of me with a particular style of hair that only a half can of Aquanet can accomplish. Hopefully it will never surface...
