About

Tell us about yourself?: 

Hey guys,
I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada EH.
I first discovered metal back in the late 80s during a boring Physics class. My lab partner , "Orge" shared his ear bud with me. He said "Ed, listen to this". I was totally hooked when I heard the opening to "Aces High". I went out to purchase Power slave. I didn't hang around the guys in high school who listened to metal so I missed out on a lot but it's great catching up and discovering old school metal. The 90s were hard --Yes, I listened to Nirvana...since I found that in North America, metal was 'dead' so my buddy introduced me to European metal (Power metal, Symphonic metal, and German Thrash metal)....that's what got me thru the 90s! Gamma Ray, Helloween, Primal Fear, Nightwish, Stratovarius, Destruction, Sodom, The Black Album
Now, I listen to Thrash, old metal, and getting into technical death. Love bands that play fast and have great musicianship.
I've got 4 battle jackets. One is my favourite bands and other is a dedication to Motorhead and Lemmy RIP. The 3rd one is Thrash bands. The fourth is an Iron Maiden tribute!

What's your reason for joining tshirtslayer?: 

Good place to share collections and battle jacket ideas

Do you goto any festivals or shows?: 

Yeah, it's hard since I'm on the West Coast of Canada and fewer bands come up to Vancouver to play. I have convinced myself it's worth it to book off early work and head down to Seattle to catch shows and back to Vancouver after the show! Who needs sleep? Big European music fest, it's on my bucket list
I remember seeing Dio and Bruce Dickinson in a small bar in the 90s.
