What if I were to answer the questions that Metal Hammer UK and That Metal Show ask their guests?
The Album I First Bought Was... Powerslave.
And I bought it because of the cover. I was only 8 and liked to draw. But soon I started enjoying the music as well..Flash of the Blade being the first song.
The Best Album Artwork Is... Somewhere in Time.

I don't know how many hours I spent looking for Easter eggs and details on this cover. So many ideas and details and one of the coolest Eddies ever.
The Album I Wish I'd Made Is... Dark Side of the Moon.

The Album I Want Played At My Funeral Is... Maiden United
A Kid Asks Me What Metal Is, I Hand Them A Copy Of... Judas Priest – Screaming for Vengeance. Sabbath "created" metal but it was still very bluesy. But Priest took it to the next level and the rest is history...every band has a bit of Priest in it.

Best concert: Iron Maiden in the year 2000 when I was living in Montreal. It was my second Maiden show with Bruce, the first in 8 years. To this date it was the only Maiden concert in a closed arena. No joke, tears rolled down my face during Blood Brothers.
