I was 8 for Grease. I only saw it because I went to the movies with a neighbor (and her kids) and she decided we would sneak into grease after and watch it for free. I got in trouble (as if I had a choice).

By then I listened to (what at the time was considered) hard rock…KISS, AC/DC, DIO, Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc. my family liked Barry Manilow, John Denver, and Neil Diamond. The music wasn’t for me.

Greaser/bobbysoxer stuff never excited me either, I wouldn’t have seen it by choice.

Disco…I still like. I don’t care that it’s not popular, in fact that helps. Xanadu came out when I was 10….it also wasn’t my choice of movie, and probably wasn’t as good a movie overall I don’t remember, but I liked it better at 10.

I saw Judas Priest, Megadeth and Testament in Lakeland FL back in 1990. It's part of the reason why my ears still ring 29 years later.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Yes, it was just old enough to be retro-cool. Kind of like kids today listening to Nirvana. @deathcow and I were also listening to a lot of Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Dio, etc etc. Picture these guys: http://videosift.com/video/Heavy-Metal-Parking-Lot

33rpm - Elvis Presley "Blue Hawaii"

45rpm - Judas Priest "Painkiller"

I know @chingalera and I both are big JUDAS PRIEST fans so I'll definitely check this IRISH PRIEST out

I especially liked their version of Judas Priest's "Living After Midnight"

>> ^deathcow:

This is pretty awesome.
I got into Judas Priest when I bought a JVC RC-M90 boombox in 1983 (p.s. I sold it this year for 3x the original cost : ) and the first tape I listened to was from my brother, who gave me "Screaming For Vengeance" on cassette.
I had a 4x4 foot "tapestry" of Screaming For Vengeance on my wall soon after and over the next few years filled out my cassette box with stuff going all the way back to this.
My favorite of all time (back then anyway) was the live version of Green Manalishi from Unleashed in the East. (I learned yesterday it was a cover, and Fleetwood Mac has a funky version of it.)
This old stuff has a character all its own.
I really liked the album "Point of Entry" which nobody else seemed to.
I made a killer Judas Priest logo on my Commodore 64.


Point of Entry is one of my faves. Desert Planes is such a great song. Same with Turning Circles.

Don't forget: Europe - The Final Countdown>> ^poolcleaner:

Let's see -- 1986 -- what did the metal gods deliver us in this year? Queensryche came out with a decent album, Candlemass released their very first album, Metallica's greatest work, Master of the Puppets came out; Iron Maiden had an alright album (not really in any of my top ten lists, but it's Maiden so it counts for something), Tony Iommi's solo album with Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, Stryper's To Hell with the Devil (Haha, I kid), Dio's Intermission, Slayer's Reign in Blood, Fates Warning's Awaken the Guardian, Megadeth's Peace Sells But Who's Buying, and Judas Priest's Turbo.
It really isn't their fault that they're all so wasted, this year was a powder keg of pure metal madness!

It was, albeit a long time ago and without much success. Better luck this time.
