Molotov Cocktail

My first metal vid!

That up there is the first heavy metal music video I ever owned: Molotov Cocktail. Bbought for me by a very understanding Mother at Christmas and boy I was chuffed to leather and studdery! 1984 was the year CBS/Fox released this awesome little VHS cassette (not long after the wheel was invented.) I must have watched and rewound it a dozen times straight off the bat (the carols being on definate hold), amazed at finally being able to see my metal heroes perform 'live' in my living room. Remember this was early eighties and coverage of music was in its absolute infancy with regards to programmes and videos covering music. Even more so for such a niche genre as heavy metal, there was no Youtube or Spotify, so having a metal video containing 8 songs by top names was bragging rights. Oh yes!
