| first experience |
round about 1976 Czech radio station Vltava by one hour weekly broadcasted rock and hard rock music, from this period of time came to my heart love to old great bands like Deep Purple, Rush, Pink Floyd, Queen, Genesis, Whitesnake, Rainbow, Slade, Sweet, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Beatles, UFO, Boston, Scorpions, Omega, AC/DC, BTO, Jethro Tull and many more; after this time came to my heart New wave of British heavy metal with Iron Maiden, Saxon, Judas Priest and from Germany bands Scorpions and Accept |
| military service |
during my military service 1983 - 1985 first time I heard from my little radio the track Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) - Whiplash from the band Metallica; for next ten years Metallica turn to my number one |
| 80īth years |
in my opinion this period of time was most miscellaneous and best era of heavy metal; communism in my country do not make possible to buy any hard rock or heavy metal LPīs or CDīs in the shops, therefore all fans meet together due secret stock places; my lovely bands bring one after another great albums out; over the ocean came great thrash metal bands (Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Heathen, Testament, Flotsam And Jetsam, Forbidden, Megadeth etc.) and from the Europe rised up new wave of German melodic heavy metal (Stormwitch, Helloween, Gravestone, Warlock, Steeler, Warrant, Grave Digger, Running Wild) |
| new wind |
nevertheless the year 1988 bring on market second generation of German young and fresh bands: Grinder, Pyracanda, Vendetta, Paradox, Tyrant and mainly Blind Guardian; album Battalions Of Fear strong influenced by Helloweenīs album Walls Of Jericho obtain me absolutly; happenstance the same time I bought the secret printed Czech version of the Tolkienīs book Silmarillion; I was completely mesmerized; than more 90īth years head to commercial and trendy way like grunge, hardcore or crossover, than more I inclined to technically great bands as Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Sanctuary, Secrecy, Mekong Delta, Watchtower, Queensryche |
| Blind Guardian |
till today Blind Guardian are most importand band in my life, cause they give me possibility to sing, possibility to step inside the Tolkienīs world and other writers; itīs not secret that I am possessed by collectioned all the Blind Guardian stuff; after the four meetings with the band my musicaly dream came true on 22nd August 2003 when Blind Guardian live performed on Fantasy Metalfest festival what I prepared in my city Pardubice for them |
