Was out with a mate last night and had a shock when he said he'd heard that Alan Thomas (or simply A.T to his listeners) died of a heart attack last week.
A.T used to host a heavy metal show on 3RRR Sunday nights, and had a MAJOR metal influence on me in my early high school years. A.T absolutely loved his Manowar and he loved the Pies (yeah, he had his faults). There's an amusing story about him waking up starkers in someone's front yard after the 1990 Grand Final! I was lucky enough to meet him a coupla times around the traps. Nice bloke.
Cheers for getting me into metal, AT. Keep bangin' and thrashing AS ALWAYS!!!!
