FIRST METAL BANDS YOU LISTENED

[Fenrir]

WHICH BANDS DID YOU HEAR FIRST ??

WELL , I REALLY BEGAN TO LISTEN TO METAL WHEN I KNEW ANGRA , NIGHTWISH E STRATOVARIUS.....(LOL)

I THINK THAT THOSE KINDS OF BAND IS GREAT TO BEGIN WITH METAL.

[Twilightsymphony]

Iron Maiden. They are perfect

[StratoHeart]

The first band I heard was Iron Maiden too, then came Metallica, and a thousand others. But Stratovarius really changed my ideology about metal music.
Anyway, the firts rock band I ever heard was Guns N' Roses (argh....)

[BadGenome]

Metallica, Helloween, and MOTLEY CRUE!

That reminds me of a funny story, actually. When I was about 7, I saw some Motley Crue video on MTV and it inspired me to draw "tattoos" all over my arms with a pen. Then I put on my cool denim jacket and hopped on my bicycle (which I pretended was a motorcycle, of course)... and ran into somebody's mailbox. The woman came out of her house to help me and tried to take off my jacket, but I wouldn't let her because of all the artwork on my arms. I suddenly didn't feel so cool anymore.

iron maiden is a good band to begin with , once they´re not so heavy , and make a pretty acessable sound....everyone can hear that..(everyone hear that now......)

First band that I really got into (of any genre) is KISS I was 10 years old and I was thinking "WOW! What the f*ck is this??? Awesome!" Later on I began to listen to W.A.S.P. , Guns´n ´Roses etc.

Metallica and Rhapsody were first ones. Then Nightwish and the rest followed.

The first were Iron Maiden, Metallica, Sepultura, Guns N' Roses, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. The last three ones from the radio, and the others for friends. I was only 10-12 aprox.

METALLICA!!! Then Stryper, Iron Maiden, Skid Row, Sepultura, Death, Venom, Cinderella, Black Sabbath etc..

Maiden, Megadeth...

[God Called In Sick T]

Hello all. This is God Called In Sick Today from Barcelona. It's my first post here, but I will try to get along very well with you.

Well, my first metal bands were Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Slayer, if I can remember well. And it happened 4 or 5 years ago, but I still love these bands. Good old days are enjoyable to remember

NP: Iron Maiden - Another Life

[Veripalttu]

Uriah Heep, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Since I was born, my dad played these bands in the car. I wasn't left with much choise.

[Stratobanger]

Orgy, Korn, Limp Bizkit ....(kinda weird but i started with nü metal)....., then i was introduced to grunge...Nirvana, Pearl Jam (I still listen to them!!!) Then metallica....specifically Seek & Destroy...and a lot of more bands..then i found glory with Stratovarius....however my dad always had rock on his stereo i think the first things i heard were Elton John, Toto and The Beatles

[MetalMusic]

It was mid 1980s when my brother gave me a couple tapes to listen to ... the classic white/yellowish looking tapes that they sold in record stores. They were Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind and Power Slave .. after that more Maiden came in ... it was after listening to Maiden I started to ask my brother for more of his collection on Metal!!

If I remember correctly the first was Metallica.... But I didn't like it back then... But the band who pulled me in this world of metal was the one and only STRATOVARIUS and the song was Hunting High and Low.
