For the current WIP, pretty please.

It's 1983. I need the name of a very popular heavy metal band. The more disreputable the better. It would also be lovely to know what one of their concert t-shirts looked like, and what sort of shorts someone would be likely to wear with it.

I quit listening to popular music in the late 70s, and never was into heavy metal myself, so I'm at something of a loss. It's going to be worn by someone who also is clueless on the subject (he's four), so I'm not going to get the rest of it wrong, fortunately.

Help?

Thanks!

Google Images "heavy metal" audience includes a fairly small percentage of audience shots, mostly showing waving arms, but I didn't look very far.

Google search used to let you use a plus sign to require that the word be in the search terms. They've taken out a whole lot of features recently: try "heavy metal" +audience, with and without the quotes, and see WTF you get!

Well, that's why I asked here [g]. I was having trouble getting the results I wanted by searching. But thanks.

It's the Google advanced screen, which doesn't appear to be linked from anywhere on Google's home page anymore.

Not on the home page. But once you've entered a search expression and hit "Google search", when the search results page comes up you can click on the gear icon at the right near the top for a list of options that includes Advanced search.

As I'm sure you know, Iron Maiden T-shirt in Google Images will get you lots and lots of images. But I don't know how you'd find which ones would have been available in the eighties. Maybe better find someone who was around then (I was) and a fan of theirs (I wasn't). Or a web community of or including such.
