Getting into Iron Maiden

Think I mentioned this in another thread but my Dad, not a heavy metal fan in anyway, brought me home Powerslave one day, randomly, around 1996? He is a trombone player and loves Chicago and their ilk, so it was a shock for him to get this for me. I asked him about it the other day and he just said he remembered being at a used record store and remember hearing they had some great guitar and since I was learning he thought I might enjoy it. Well... within 6 months after that, I used every penny I saved on EVERY studio album. I remember spending 5-6 hours a day after school, completely ignoring classwork, just learning all the main melody parts from every song. I also got into Metallica and Megadeth around that time. I was in study hall in 10th grade and a kid turned around and put his headphones on my ears and played the Master of Puppets album, wow. For Megadeth I remember getting out of my sister's car and seeing a burned CD laying on the ground directly upon me stepping out. It was unlabeled so I had no idea what it was but it was Megadeth Youthinasia... So I kinda stumbled into heavy metal, lucky for me!
