Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, and most of the thrash bands grew up listening Motorhead, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, What did bands early death metal and black metal scene listen to? I know venom is sometimes mentioned.
Also what bands were influenced by bands like the big 4?

Iron Maiden is top quality

their albums have gotten worse as they've gotten older but their live shows haven't diminished at all, they've got exactly the same level of showmanship they've always had

rime of the ancient mariner is the best song they've ever done and this is irrefutable

My dad in-law's favorite band.

I didn't say their newer albums were bad, just that they're not as good

perhaps nostalgia plays a part in it, I will concede to that possibility

They initially had a young fan base who have now gone on to have children who grew up to become fans themselves. Even some of those children have now grown to have kids of their own.

They're on the verge of being Grandpa Metal. BTW they're not Rock you dumbasses
