I wasn’t exposed to much heavy metal music in video form either, as MuchMusic was yet to exist and we didn’t get MTV in Canada. The very limited amount of heavy metal music I had heard was loud, fast, aggressive and intimidating to a 12 year old boy growing up in a small Northern Ontario town. I remember going to record stores and flipping through the albums in the heavy metal section, seeing bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and their frightening (at least it was to me back then) album covers with characters like “Eddie” staring back at me.
To me heavy metal music was actually a bit scary (and so were the “big kids” that listened to it). Up until the autumn of 1983, most of my musical consumption to that point had consisted of generally pop/rock fare (Survivor, Journey, The Police, Toto, Men At Work and others).
