You can hear Mustane with them on the Metal Massacre I album and he is on some of the Cliff em all video. Early stuff (pre casteration days) was good. Can't stand their new stuff though 
I like the early Maiden too. Wrathchild was always my favorite  Dig Harris' bass playing. Phantom of the Opera and some of the other early stuff is still killer. Still like the stuff the did with #^&#^&#^&#^&enson too. Killer voice and some cool songs. Glad he is back with them.

Ur right Jiggy.i think it was 1980 or 81 when they came out from Cal.They satyed at our place a few days then took up residence with some friends of mine.Mustane was with them.thier first gig out here was some halloween ball in Staten Island that went terrible Mustane was drunk an the power in the place kept goin out. they Had a demo tape I think I still have Called metal up ur ass. I still consider that the first album.they where already in the works to replace Mustane at that time.I remember they played Ride the lightnin for 8 of us in my friends basement.before it came out.One tour they did clubs up the coast an a few of my friends roadied for them they had the truck with all the equipment stolen in Boston.I Really liked Mustane an Cliff was the best the rest of em where Phonnies.Slayer was a good bunch of guys they put my name on one of their albums(Hell Awaits).I liked B.D> before he was in Maiden had a band I forget the name But I remeber one song called Earth Mother was real cool. Kinda like a UFO sound.I saw Accept in like 82' in a place called Lamours.8000 people in a tiny club an we the Old Bridge Metal Mellitia had the whole front of the stage to ourselves.those where the days Its amazing I remeber any of it.
