5. It's 1980. Your school mate gives you an exciting new album. A great track starts with these words. What song is it?
"Just sixteen, a pickup truck, out of money, out of luck.
I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas, and here I go"
From Quiz Heavy Metal Daze Part 2: Lyrics!
Answer:
"Running Free" - Iron Maiden
Long-standing Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain was in French band Trust, but not on this track, which was taken from their (English language) debut, "Repression". Bruce Dickinson is probably Iron Maiden's best known vocalist, but he wasn't on this track from their eponymous debut. He was on the Samson track from "Head On" however!
Angel Witch epitomise the oft-used adjective "seminal", yet have never hit the big time. They've split up and reformed too many times to count, the mainstay being guitarist/vocalist Kevin Heybourne.
