We Rocked the 80's

My friend Jack dug up this fucking awesome picture of us and brought it down to practice the other night. I nearly pissed myself laughing! Look at all the f'ing great 80's accessories; the hand cuff belt, the wrist bands, the eye liner! Fucking precious!
Ah yes...The year was 1985; The band was The Origin and we were masters of the metal scene in Salem NH. As we walked the streets, the people would throw rose pedals at our feet and the teen age girls would swoon and spontaneously tare off their clothes and shower us with their panties. Oh to be 19 and a metal god! LOL.....
Seriously though, of all the bands that were around playing at the time, we were one of the only ones doing mostly our own music and developed quite a good reputation and following as a result.
We've all gone on to play in many other bands in the years since, but we'll always cherish those heady days of head banging bliss....
