It´s been
30 years since I bought this album: Metalmorfosis. It´s a very special one,
well, it´s the most special one indeed, because this work was the first record
I bought myself. I was only 10, and I can clearly remember how I found it in a
department store in Huelva, the album had just arrived and the clerk unboxed it
for me. It was summer 1983, and I was with my parents, my brother and my sister
camping in a village called Mazagón. I saw the band a few weeks ago on a TV
show while I was with my parents in an old tavern called Las Palomas near home, and that shocked me: guys with long hair and
electric guitars…oh my god!!! What´s that!! What´s that music!!! I felt
something strange in my stomach (and that was no hunger). That was the first
metal band I listened in my life. I had no record player and I had to find
someone who recorded it into a cassette so I could enjoy it on my mom´s player…
after that, other bands came across: Iron Maiden, Obús, White Snake, Scorpions,
Judas Priest, Helloween… and all of them told me two things I had to learn: English
and play guitar.
… and that´s
how my lifetime relationship with metal music began, a relationship that has
grown up and today it´s the meaning of my life. It´s what makes me smile, what
makes me dream, what makes me feel, what gives the sense to my life, to wake up
every morning and go to work every day, to overcome hard times, to survive
routine…
Long Life
Barón Rojo. Larga vida al Barón.
