Iron Maiden - Can I Play With Madness

When Jeff's parents divorced, they moved to Lafayette with their mother and brother Joe. In part, the boy came to music thanks to his grandmother, who played in a small group with her friends. When he was thirteen, he asked for a drum kit as a gift, and his relatives bought it. The elder brothers of his best friend were local hooligans: they rode bikes, got drunk and fought with each other, like mad dogs. Jeff recalls: “They played in groups and rehearsed in an old barn on a farm that looked like an airplane hangar. Well, I stumbled there, got drunk on shit, and when they got so drunk that they couldn’t play, they called me: “Hey kid, come here, play us drums.” This was my first source of adrenaline. Apart from these hangouts , my life was completely boring. "
