. “Creeping Death.” 1986. That Hetfield could play at this speed, for this duration, with all 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘀, is incredible — how would anyone even explain that to a non-guitarist? Basically his right wrist was a genetic mutation!

Look, no need to mince words. “Heavy Metal” started & ended right here. On this December night in Paris 1970. This precise moment — it cannot be perfected because what you’re witnessing here is the birth of its very DNA.

. “Focus.” 1973. The Midnight Special. So get this — the TV producers told the band they had 5 mins left to wrap and so NOT to play the 7 min long Focus — and the band said, ‘heeelll no we’ll just play it faster’ and turned it into a goddamn exorcism ✞

Incredible to think that Dio performed this Wacken gig in 2009, unaware that he was near the end. The stomach cancer had already taken hold. Tony Iommi wrote one of his heaviest riffs ever in “Bible Black” and Dio gave it his all. He would pass away a few months later 🕊️

. “Cowboy Song.” 1978. Sydney Opera House. The absolute swagger of Phil Lynott was something to behold. Suave, sophisticated. Didn’t need to run around on stage. For sure, Gorham & Moore were perfect wingmen but Phil was to Thin Lizzy what Lemmy was to Motörhead. Class.

Paul Di’Anno’s place in Iron Maiden history is etched in stone — he turned that Ruskin Arms pub into an arena. Yes he was ‘punk’ but he could be soulful too, especially here in “Charlotte the Harlot”. Would have loved to hear him tackle its sequel, “22 Acacia Avenue”
