Oh yes! I'm loving every minute of it! :D
I'm what was said before on here: a Maiden virgin. :p I haven't seen them in concert yet.

Wish I started as young as you, Ariana and Sixes. (Not that I should complain in this company with my 21 and a half years of Maiden fandom. :innocent: )
 
I was 16 and a few months when I started getting into Maiden, in September 1991. So if I were 11 or 12, I'd already known them well around Somewhere in Time (which incidentally is my favourite Maiden album).

My older cousin turned me on to Maiden, first by seeing all the flags and posters he had in his room, then by selling all of that later on when he had lost interest in the band. 1991-ish. So I bought original posters and stuff..Or bought and bought...I was 11..so my parents gave me some money to buy some of his Maiden patches and pins and stuff and then I got his VHS of Video Pieces and Live at the Rainbow ;) and I bought my own first Maiden album with A Real Live One.
 
Oh probably just the need to stop buying any clothing, paying for driving lessons and not going through with a holiday planned this summer. Nothing too serious!
 
But work will be furious if I quit driving lessons, and a certain person will be most unhappy at me dropping out of the holiday...:D

I had no one in my family into metal. Via a scout camp, I got hooked. Out there, one guy had cassettes with albums by Kiss and Maiden. I think he had Alive II & Dynasty, and from Maiden the debut album, all recorded from his brother's LP's. Before that I'd heard Holy Smoke on the radio, and I must have seen the Can I Play With Madness video, but these songs never led me to further investigation. Back to the cassettes: I liked both bands immediately! But Maiden made the bigger impact. I was totally spellbound by Prowler. That mid part! I'd never heard such aggressive and fast music. It grabbed me totally. I liked the whole album, although Remember Tomorrow sinked in a few listenings later and Strange World, Charlotte and Iron Maiden were the more difficult ones to get into. So: the first Maiden album was my first Maiden album.
 
Yeah I do agree. All of this is probably easier if you have no responsibilities. Like me :p I can definitely see the problems...like with the driving lessons. But for your significant other, he cares for you or not? :D
