  1. Contrary to what a lot of you younger guys may think, there has never been a universal acceptance or even liking for this kind of music. I'm English, a country that knows a little bit about Rock music, & I would say back in the day even Rock bands like AC/DC would have had a problem filling a phone box for a concert. There was a halcyon time in the 70's when The Beatles were still going & The Stones were in their pomp that great music was more widely accepted in the UK but post Punk, in the late 70's, Disco shit took over I it was down to a VERY few mostly guys to keep this music alive. There is still a lot of great music out there but when people stopped making music for the love of making music & started making it, or worse, copying it for the love of making money THAT is where it all went wrong. I really don't know why AC/DC get the rightly deserved adulation that they do? None of them are practically stellar musicians BUT they are true to themselves & their music and I LOVE them for that!

  2. I  think  you  are  talking  about  in  the  States  which  had  a  totally  different  thing  going  on  to  the  UK.  The  Maiden album  might  well  have  got  to  #1  here  but  the  numbers  would  have  been  small.  As  a  rule  of  guys  kept  great  music  alive  in  bedrooms  &  on  car  cassette  systems. In  pubs   clubs  all  you  would  hear  would  be  disco  shit!
